BUMP Matt resurfaced the end of last year with news of a stroke and an accident. Communication was alright for a bit through the new year then I lost contact with him. Last message from him was January 26 of this year. I sent a couple messages via facebook last month and heard nothing. While I truly...

Hey Freiman,

Did Matt happen to mention if he plans to return to armoring or not when he's better?

Kendrick le Oggesfot

Thanks for the update Freiman. Glad to hear he's doing fine.

Kendrick le Oggesfot

My last email from him was in April I think. The last couple times he fell off the radar with health issues he was back in a couple months, not this long. I have an outstanding order with him but he's an upstanding guy so I'm growing increasingly concerned as well. I've messaged him here, email, fac...

Kendrick le Oggesfot

Bump. Has anyone heard from or seen him?

Kendrick le Oggesfot

Bump!

Matt, if you see this, please get in touch with me. I'm at a crossroads and wish to discuss where we're at with the arms & greaves.

Hope you're doing ok, Take care.

Kendrick le Oggesfot

Don't buy it!!!!!! I fell for the same trap. Mine was a pic from Armstreet? Looked awesome. What I got was a god damned "gambeshit" made of CORDUOROY, and stuffed so full of synthetic batting I looked like a blue Stay Puft Marshmellow man. I ripped almost 2/3rds of the stuffing out, re-did the slee...

I knew they were using other people's photos but wasn't aware of the complaints so thanks for the heads up on that. If they're on par with GDFB then I might bite but not if the variance is like what you linked.

So now my question is, anyone know who makes the ORIGINAL one in red?

Kendrick le Oggesfot

Anyone purchase a gambeson from them? I'm curious about the materials used & thickness. I'm guessing on part with GDFB gambesons? I know there are many other places to get good gambesons, but I plan to purchase chainmail from them anyway & the cost of adding a gambeson is minimal. I currently have m...

Not sure if these mad matt kits are up for sale generally, but what would be the price and are they kydex or steel? Matt typically makes them out of mild steel; the kits come pre-shaped, edges deburred and holes punched for about $65 + shipping. As he's not currently making armor, all that's left i...

I just heard the same as well. Hope it's nothing severe, he's one of the good guys.

Kendrick le Oggesfot

BUMP! Anyone been in contact with Mad Matt in the last couple months? I know he had some health issues several months ago which seemed to be recovering alright from, but I think my last email from him was in April and now his website is down. I've reached out a couple times via email, PM here, and F...

What's the price tag of the pavis shown in aluminum?

Kendrick le Oggesfot

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'm just fishing for leads, it's up to my friend to do the rest of the negotiating and he understands that custom takes time and money. I've done prior business with CLANG and pleased with his work so I've already reached out to him. The others seem like quite talented ...

Kendrick le Oggesfot

Merc Tailor Allen I believe got out of armoring. I didn't think about Clang, he does great work. I'll shoot him an email. Thanks.

I have a friend looking to do a 16th century Spanish impression for SCA combat. I was wondering who in the US does 16th C. work? He looking for a Morion w/bargrill and breast/backplate with fauld/tassets. I see Illusion Armory can do both, but there's also a thread mentioning he's not responding to ...

Email sent (Howard)
Glad you're doing better!

Kendrick le Oggesfot

Yep, just double checked & can't find anything in PM or email. Weird.

Kendrick le Oggesfot

Hi Pitbull,

PM'd you the other day. Awaiting a reply please. Thank You!

Kendrick le Oggesfot

Awesome tips guys, thank you. I honestly didn't even think about mating up a larger rivet head with the smaller rivet. Fits just fine.

Kendrick le Oggesfot

Hi All, So I'm building a plastic Kusnacht Brig and I plan on using speedy rivets. The ones I was going to use have about a 1/4" x 1/8" shaft and about a 1/4" head (I'm at work and don't have exact specs, but those were my last quick measurements of them) and fits perfect for 3/16" plastic & 2 layer...

Kendrick le Oggesfot

Hi Pitbull, PM sent yesterday. So that's $90 shipped, correct?

Kendrick le Oggesfot

Interested in padding. Can you provide total shipped to La Quinta, CA 92253 & payment instructions or would this be handled through the website?

Kendrick le Oggesfot

Hi all, I know Mad Matt had recently shared concerns regarding a helmet purchase & a dissatisfied customer, but I wanted to post a review about my purchasing experience from him. Communication: 5/5 My initial email with Matt was in regards to a new helmet which we went back and forth for some time, ...

Kendrick le Oggesfot

PM sent.

Kendrick le Oggesfot

Would this fit a 24" melon?

Kendrick le Oggesfot

I have to agree with the RFTH suggestions. I went with a globose, kidney plates, and spaulders w/lames to keep cost down on my rig. Minimal work went into making them better such as rolling edges, sanding/polishing & such, but not necessary. Just smooth the edges & strap.

Kendrick le Oggesfot

I'm in for an 8"

Kendrick le Oggesfot

Propane adapters can be found at http://www.airsoftgi.com, http://www.evike.com, or most higher-end airsoft retailers. Of note, the big difference between propane vs. green gas (other than the rank propane smell) is that green gas has silicone mixed into it to condition the seals/o-rings. If you cho...

Kendrick le Oggesfot

I'm really curious how it well it works with the bevor. Having never fought with a bevor I'm hesitant but damn, I love the look. I'm guessing something like this would run $800-$1000 price range? Your Grace? / Fenian? Edit: let me rephrase that. I'm guessing something like this would run 800-1000 mi...

Kendrick le Oggesfot

That would indeed be the one, Thank You!!!

Kendrick le Oggesfot

Bump!

Kendrick le Oggesfot

Hi all. As the title says, I'm looking for someone who makes an SCA Kettle hat with bevor. I know there's several armorers who make really nice kettel hats, but I've only seen a couple that had a bevor. I know Ice makes a nice one, and I've seen another but can't remember for the life of me who. May...
