Review- Minamoto Armoury

This review is long overdue. Sorry Joe.
Joe from Minamoto Armoury cut, shaped, formed and hardened a wonderful muscled-cuirass. It's made of 14 oz veg tan, I believe he said it was water hardened and lacquered. I'd requested him to go easy on the musculature, so I didn't look like a goon on steroids, and he did so perfectly. it came fully strapped at the sides and shoulders.
I wore it into the Bridge Battle and was hit rather hard in the front(ish) left side and it protected me superbly. I had no padding beneath it, no bruise or mark rose up from it, only that I was a bit winded from the force itself.
I'll recommend Minamoto Armoury to anyone lookng for a good leather cuirass. Joe and his partner also do other pieces in leather and are venturing into steel.
