Armoury Review - GK and Mercenary Tailor - 2 thumbs WAY UP!

[Lloyd]

I ordered a custom Gothic Breast and Backplate (14ga for jousting) from GK Armoury, letting Jeff know that I needed it quickly.

Well, less than two weeks after I ordered this:

It arrived! It was perfectly fitted, articulated, and not only looks great but is super solid and will make a great joust kit. So I immediately ordered a custom lance rest to go with the kit.

Jeff is great to work with, keeps you informed almost daily on the progress of your suit and makes a near museum quality product. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a new kit.

And, while I am recommending people - Allan at Mercenary Tailor is "Da Bomb"! http://www.merctailor.com/catalog/index.php

Not only has Allan made a custom helm for us to raffle off this weekend at our Medieval Faire, given me some seriously beautiful armour to destroy with period weapons (which will be videographed for all to see), but he found the time to custom make me a pair of 16th arms to joust in and got them to me in less than 2 weeks - While he was making stock to sell at his Ren Faire Shop!

I also bought a pair of "off the rack" greaves that not only fit like a glove, but look fantastic and are rock solid armour.

I thank both of these gentlemen for their work and am looking forward to ordering more from them in the future.
