The Armour Archive

Well, with the 4th of July weekend comming up, we have a short week here at the shop. We will be back working on Saturday, but the mail run is happening early this week.

We have confirmed that we will be selling at Pennsic this year. George and I want to take a minute and thank Known World Treasures for giving us some booth space! You are really helping us make our sales goals for the summer!

Speaking of preparing for Pennsic, we have begun ramping up production to be ready, but we can still process orders for armour needed before Pennsic, but orders have to be placed before Friday the 18th of July in order to get them to you in time. We will not be working on any orders from 19 July - 11 August. They will go in the que and be produced the couple of weeks after the War.

Now onto what we accomplished this week.

Cool man, I will stop by and check it out!

For you a super bargin!

Go to the webstore and order 'em, remember to use your AA discount. The code is armarc-01, you will get an automatic 10% discount off. If you want them studded, or strapped, or whatever, just make sure that you select those items for shopping cart, and they will be included in the discount.

I would be all over a set of arms if only they fit! The samples I've seen at the Durham practice (greaves, vambraces, and full legs) have all been too small. Ah well, I can always hope you develop larger sizes at some point...

In what way do they not fit you? Are they too short? Are they too small in circumference? We can make adjustments in our made to order line, we just need to know what adjustments need to be made.

Sayer is a big guy, but I am pretty sure we could easily work out the sizing on the vambraces. Elbows, I am not as sure about a short term solution for.

As for shipping and otherwise, we are good on the payment schedule correct? I think that we are paid in full here, but just wanted to make sure.

So, can we expect to see elbows matching the SS knees coming soon? Is this a different elbow style? Or is this for some special order?

Articulated stainless knees, articulated and non-articulated elbows, and shoulders as well as the stainless poleyns we are already offering will all be available in the next few weeks and in stock at Pennsic.

Any word on old leather orders?

Those are slowly being finished and shipped out. I am down to the last few orders and should have them done and out before the end of the next two weeks.

What day are you going to show up? I want to make sure I get down there so I can take a look at the block ones!

We will be arriving on Saturday the 2nd, but our stuff should be delivered to Known World Treasures in time for the market opening on Tuesday the 29th of July.

We will have pictures of our stock later this week that should include stainless steel articulated and simple elbow cops, stainless articulated knees, as well as stainless pauldrons, to go with Coats of Plates, Globoses, Corrazinas, vambraces, chausses, greaves, quisses, and we will probably have some leather hourglass demis available at the war as well. Shaping up to be a well stocked war.
