Looking for armor to get me on the field!

TrimarianJarek · Post by **TrimarianJarek** » Sun Feb 07, 2010 12:30 am

Okay i'm some what new to the SCA. I am looking to get on the field in time for gulf wars so i am not concerned with staying to my period or persona (If you are wondering its Polish from the 13 years war mid-late 14th cent)

I will have more measurements up very soon but i am aprox 6'3 300lbs.

(I know these measurements don't help ALOT but its better then nothing for now)

Jeans: 42waist 32 inseam
My thighs are a tad large even for my hight/weight
I have a flatter abdomen - no beer belly.
Mildly broad shoulders

I have a helm and Gorget - i need any/everything else - used/new

We can also get you geared up in armor for Gulf Wars. I will be at Estrella war from today till the 16th but will be able to take care of you upon my return.

Take a look at our full harness specials here. You can save $100's by purchasing it all at one time. All of our armor comes polished and fully strapped unless it states otherwise:

Just two cents both Stonekeep and Ice Falcon are excellent. Definitely pick up a gamberson from Ice Falcon while the sale is still going on. Takes care of all your padding needs and is a must have before you order anything else for the 14th century since it will change your measurements.

Since you're wanting this stuff for Gulf Wars one of things you should look at is which vendors are actually attending. They probably would love to just deliver to the event and it would save you cost of shipping.

Post period for you but I've got a set of 15th cent. legs from illusion armoury that I need to part with. Needs some polishing and some new straps. If you're interested send me a pm.

Quick note about vambraces with attached hand protection. I don't know about Pitbull's model but a friend had something similar when he first started in the SCA but quickly cursed them when he realized how much wrist rotation he actually needed and his armor only allowed his wrist to move back and forth with no rotation.
