Wearing a master Cad Bascinet, a Mad Matt aventail, Andy ward gaunts, James River legs and using a Mermuys hilt and pommel set.

My lady made my particolored angel wing surcoat. My Uncle Samuel gave me the boots, plus a bad haircut, about fifteen years ago.

William:

I noticed the helm liner (ala Steve SoFC) that your lady wife made for you. This looks good with the Cadwallon bascinet.

Thanks! I'm very proud of her...she never fails to amaze me with her ability.

Is there any body armour under there?

He referenced a brigandine that "shrank" in another thread, but I *might* have imagined it.

William:

I'd love to see what the brigandine looks like.

Suggestions:

I think a very mobile arm harness of full plate would make the look...tempered steel would be a fine compromise between weight and protection for that. An addition of greaves wouldn't hurt the look, either. An addition of even a simple leather scabbard for the rattan sword would give you a place to keep it without problems at those indoor events.

Thanks for the comments guys. Yep, I am wearing body armour. I'm wearing an old EGG armoury corrazinna that I refurbished when I started reading the archive. It still needs some work. I need to redo the straps.

T-Bob, I do have green leather shynbalds, just not wearing them at practice. I also have steel arms by James River, but they're a tad on the large side and I'm going to be contacting him soon for refitting/upgrade.

Eventually, I'd like to have a forth armoury haubergeon and spring steel limb armour from Historic.

Now that's a nice pic. Thanks.
You look invincible....

The helm appears red in the pic, so you definitely look like a Christmas tree with an attitude!

Hi William,
It's great to see you all decked out. Thanks for the pics.

ps I like the green leather for the aventail, and the lining is way cool!

Thanks guys!

I plan to have a number of changes by Pennsic:

1. My pourpoint should be finished by spring. Then I'll be able to point my legs directly to that, instead of an improvised (but effective!) leg belt that I'm currently using.

2. I should have a padded long sleeve gambeson of linen and or cotton. My wife has offered to do it particolored green and white.

3. I will be wearing steel arms. I have steel arms now, but they are a bit too large. I need to have a refit done.

4. I will have 2 new shield completed...a birch heater and a steel buckler. The heater will have a guige, no shield basket, edged with rope and covered with canvases leather and gesso. Raised charges in leather as well.

5. Brais, chausses and better shoes, maybe even turnshoes.

6. I hope to have my endurance up to fight more with the klapvisor on. To that end, I'm going to start practising with it on more.

7. Either a globose or seven piece brestplate.

8. Spaulders.

9. A tight fitting jupon, to give me that wasp-waisted look. My wife was volunteered to do my device on it.

That's it for now, but that's enough! :O

Eventually, I'll roll around again to the front of Cads queue....then I'll get cool finger gaunts with little bucklers. Also on the eventual list is a Forth Haubergeon and Historic limb armor.
