Does anyone currently make a hidden gorget with maille standard for SCA Heavy combat?

Something like this:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=159787&hilit=maille+standard+gorget

Or like those found in either of these threads:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=147096&hilit=maille+standard+gorget
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=140930

Thanks!

Unfortunately I don't know of anything out there that meets you requirements.
That is why I decided to make my own.

I did notice that Darkwood is offering some nice welded mail standards

While not cheap they do look very nice and are based on extant pieces.
You could easily mate theses up with a commercially available gorget or make one yourself.

Well, that was fast - less than an hour, and I got a good option. I could swear I looked at Darkwood's site not two days ago, and didn't see either of those things, so thanks for the links!

Looks like they were added on 2/21.
Also the site is not the easiest to navigate or search, I just stumbled upon them while looking for something else.

I've had great success on Get Dressed for Battle. The prices are pretty inexpensive, even with shipping from Great Britain.

Wedge rivets mixed with solid rivets. 8mm :)
