Paul, I am sure that Erick had the suit on his site. I recall that the owner was in England. I think that the suit was made by Mac. I could not find it on Mac's site, though.

I am not sure if this tourney has all S.C.A. rules in effect or not. If we are allowing an anything goes scenario, the I would say...

My understanding is that Buff coats are from the English Civil War era (late 17th Cent.) Something simalar that was used in period would be 15th century jacks. There are several ordinances that lay down how and of what jacks should be made. If you want to make one for S.C.A. combat, you might want t...

If that is the clause in the treaty, then I think that the two primary signatories (kingdoms) have just accepted responsibility for returning the weapons to the owners. If the weapons are stolen, then compansation is appropriate. Frau, it sucks that your weapons (et al) were stolen. It sucks rocks t...

To my understanding, Lucette cording was used. It is a very interesting process to create the stuff (very frustrating at the begining). My guess is that linen or silk would be the best material to use for the cording. ------------------ All the best, Rhys "Art calls for complete mastery of technique...

Hi Hogan, There is evidence that splinted armour was used for some tourney forms into the mid-15th century.I think that the main question is do you wish to represent a "Man at Arms" (used in the historical context) as he was equiped for battle? If yes, then I think that you would consider plate. P.S...

Vitus set me up with- I look at these guys and the spirit of what they are trying to do and it makes me not give a good god damn about how authentic they are. That will come later.

Nope. $1368, including shipping (in U.S. I would assume). Follow the link for the Bascinet page and you will see the type of helm and visors being talked about. And for you, Brodir-san.

Then check out Anshelm's Web site! He has a back point bascinet for a 24"-25" head.

I have seen several good looking kits recently, But I would say that Munz (a poster here on the Archive) has the best kit I have seen recently. This is not the kit that I saw him in, but it will give you an idea. (hopefully this will work) [img]http://home.earthlink.net/~floendesign/stg001.jpg[/img]...

Hi Mark, There is probable more interest than there appears to be. I am thnking about going, but need to get my finances figured out.

I think that a translation of the memoirs of Jean le Maingre II would be an interesting comparison to the earlier chivalric treaties.

"West: (Marshalls handbook VI, A 5 c) A gauntlet of heavy leather lined with closed cell foam or heavy padding.

Severin, As I recall, there is some evidence of scale avantails used in the second quater of the 14th century. I recall a brass from Germany that depicted a bascinet with scale (I think that it is dated circa 1340). I do not have the book handy that has that image, but I can look it up. I would gues...

Thank you for the info.
