Do you have any knee/elbows for a small woman?

herrhauptmann

Tell him "get well soon" please.

herrhauptmann

Ba-bump.

So MJBlazek says up above that A/B has an etsy shop as 'steamfellow.'
Are there any other business names he's actively using? (Had an ad show up on facebook and my kneejerk reaction was that it was A/B under a new name.)

herrhauptmann

It fits you?
What's the size of your head in other dimensions?
Width?
Front to back?
Height?

Depending on the numbers, it might fit a new fighter I know.

herrhauptmann

Sorry about the initial negative tone. Believe it or not, I've really been making an effort to tone it down. I do know some larp fighters from school, they tend to be the reason for the negativity. It's like judging the SCA by the two authenticity monitors you met in your anthropology class. Not rig...

http://i.imgur.com/d6QqygU.gif My first impulse was to laugh, then I remembered that some very skilled SCAdians have come from boffer larp. Also, boffer tends to be a little less expensive to get into (depending on group), garment weight leather and padded swords can be a lot cheaper than a basic ba...

The link says 1500s spanish bridal chest.
I don't know if that's true or not, but thought I'd post it here anyway.

Was hoping to use it for small buckles, I'll have to relinquish dibs.
Sorry.

herrhauptmann

If ravioli didn't snap up the whole thing, and you decide to partition it out, I'll take a piece or two.

herrhauptmann

Sorry, stupid question:
Is 8-10oz sufficient for straps? Or is it too thick?

herrhauptmann

Bump in response to this thread. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=165117

It seems he might be in the process of making good, but lets see if that continues before we stop bumping this.

For the Bazubands, talk to Magnus Ulfgarsson.

Mind you, he lives in Canada, so the stuff might get stuck at the border for a month.

I dunno, even a 'munitions' hat from Ironmonger is pretty damn nice. I'd trust it over a 'very high quality' A/B any day.

herrhauptmann

This isn't one of the wallhangers, is it?

If so, can I call dibs?

Also, that fencing zischagge you got on there is very pretty, even though I'm (fairly) sure you're not selling that one.

Sweet.
USPS I guess?

herrhauptmann

That's purty

herrhauptmann

Yeah, I'll still take the legs.
edit:
Money sent with address at 9am.

herrhauptmann

I you want I can take pictures of them tonight so you can see what kind of shape they are in. They do not look like this anymore, and do need some work. They are not caked in rust or antyhing, but there are a couple of dents and some tarnish, and as stated they will need new straps as two have pull...

herrhauptmann

Well these are what they looked like new. []http://www.stcolin.com/breathren/images/Alexander_OLT2720_md.jpg[/] I have a 32 inch inseam. I have these tied to a weight lifters belt. A pupoint or c belt would probably be better suited. Taking a gamble these will fit. Please send me your paypal info. ...

MJBlazek wrote:added legs

How far down do you think the legs can be sized?
I'm ~6ft, with a 31inch inseam, and about 150-155pounds.

Also, how are the legs attached? H-brace/suspenders? Belt? Just tied and strapped, using friction to stay up?

herrhauptmann

I was at a practice not long ago and a new fighter was talking about getting the A/B starter kit. I advised him not to and that I would assist him in putting together a set of armor to get him on the field. Another member who claimed to be part of the AA approached and raved about A/B, said it woul...

herrhauptmann

Hjalmer,
Can you send me a link to your photobucket or something? Want to show your portfolio to a new fighter.

The footwork section should have decent sized diagrams on how you want people to stand. Maybe top views of footprints as red blotches, with the rest of body as a blue outline showing how you want them moving. reason: I was at boxing club last night, and the guys running it described the stance in a ...

herrhauptmann

It's a truism in brawls that somehow the little guy who is rabid crazy and highly aggressive, coming at you frothing, is more convincing than a big guy pulling the same act. Nobody seems to know why this is. At 6ft and a max weight of 155lbs, I have a bad tendency to get in the faces of guys a lot ...

Do you have a picture of the sword?

Basic hat? Go to hjalmr here on the archive, can almost get two of his bascinets for that I think

herrhauptmann

I take it that means it's a good japanese kit?

I'll take'em.

How do you think it would look with the symbol for Macalaster college?

I'd also be interested in hearing about fairly low cost kydex armour for women.

A followup:
Anyone know how good the EGG-style Female Body Armor actually is?
How good the coverage? Does it overlap or pinch in the wrong spots?
Is it one size fits most? If so, what size woman is based around?

herrhauptmann

I know the sale is pending, but any chance we could see detail pictures of the metacarpal region? Even if I can't buy yours, I might wanna buy some from Grettir, and I haven't found many up close pics. Any help appreciated, and no worries if not. Thanks http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1425...

For his non-spring, he does do custom sizing. I'm not sure if he does custom sizes for spring though.
Also, these are a hell of a steal at that price.

herrhauptmann

Not sure if they are legal for youth combat, but these are awesome. I got a pair for my 3-year-old and myself (she's getting good ;-). They happen to be almost exactly the length of my rattan sword with pretty good balance. I use it for indoor slow work. I'll admit to using them now too... I put on...
