I got a hands-on about five years ago. Still holding up well. And they nailed my measurements perfectly. Got it in about three weeks.

Hey guys, I can attest to the quality of the gambeson. I have had mine for years, and its like new still. I went basic with no special options but I like it. And I'm putting in an order for some prices soon. So I can try to review them when I get them.

wolf16mt

I know alot of their stuff comes from india so look it over realy good if you get it to make sure its a safe peice.

wolf16mt

That looks like a ton of fun!

Hrrrmmmm... I'm going on 6 weeks "In Transit" now. Starting to get mildly concerned :| Will try calling the USPS customer service line tomorrow although I have expectations of naught but futility :roll: If you have it give them your tracking info and they might be able to hurry along the parcel.

I ordered a gambeson from ukraine and it only took about a week and a half. Mostly due to customs.

It looks nice man. Its hard to find a greek shield that is ready to go. I know there is several places that show you how to make one. But its about time and money. So im surprised about this one not going first as well.

wolf16mt

Nice helm man. Keep up the great craftsmanship!

Hi all. I got the spuntop in the mail on saturday. Its pretty awsome. Just wanted to thank james and let you all know he is a good guy to buy from. So shop from him with confidence. Thanks!

wolf16mt

I hope so. I saw you are part of the middle kingdon roll of chivalry. Thats awsome. And congrats for it. Even though im late saying it. Ie 1997. Cough. Lol. But im getting started and im trying to do it right, and follow the example and leadership of the local knights. So i have experianced fighters...

I know when i recover from my helm buy i need to get a sword kit. And likely a shield trimming too. But it might be a while.

wolf16mt

Question. Can i use the copper pipe insulation for an ac unit wich is 3/4 inches thick to trim my shield with? My shield is made of wood and i have very basic straps on it. Also my budget is zero on this. Or i would have bought leather and hemp rope for the trim. I currently have availible said insu...

Isabella do you do this year round? or only certain times of the year?

For a friend

Payment sent for the Spun top helm! Thanks for helping the noob out man!!

wolf16mt

Is the tank helm padded by chance? Also what would shipping be to vandalia ohio usa 45377? And lastly. Do you take paypal?

Edit. Tentative dibs on the second helm listed. Pending questions answered. Thanks!

2nd edit: definate dibs. Thanks.

Is this helm thick enough for SCA heavy combat?

wolf16mt

Whats the asking price? And rough head size it would fit?

wolf16mt

Edward, from what i have gathered the answer would be yes. If that helps.

here is a pic of the great helm liner set I got from Armoury world on Ebay.

wolf16mt

Do you have a caliper benv? If not get a peice of cardboard and cut out your head shape. Leaving room to trim more untill it fits snug. Then measure the gap of the cutout. Hope that helps.

wolf16mt

There is a good chance ill be there unless im leading cubscouts that day. So i hope ill be there. But would love to meet you some time. I hear you have the best rattan around.

wolf16mt

Let me know if you are definately going to the Harvest Days. I am a noob in need of a rattan sword and have been recommended to you by the local Barony members.

Thanks,
Matt

wolf16mt

Dang. Im a 23 inch head. Thanks man.

wolf16mt

What is your head size by chance?

I second this one. I have no idea where to find one and have never seen one either to take a stab blindly at it.

Thanks, matt

Try the usps. I got a good deal to ship a 24 pound package to france. It cost me about $19.00 to ship it from ohio. And decent shipping time too. I got an email saying it got there about 6 days after i shipped it.

wolf16mt

This appears to be his most current post on the forum.

wolf16mt

Look at accdntprone. He has a topic in this section about a starter helm run. His helm looks good and i think he priced it at $140 plus shipping. That might be wrong but i think thats what hes got them liated at.

Nope. It shows private. If im remembering correctly.

wolf16mt

If it had fit my head id be all over that helm. And if i had more than 50 bucks saved.

one of these days ill have saved enough for a lucky break. But BUMP for lebrown.

First Crusade, no surcoats (they didn't start doing that til they'd been there a while and realized that covering the armor helped mitigate the heat from the sun in the desert), That seems to be a myth. There is nothing to suggest that the surcoat was adopted to protect armour from the sun. I can t...
