Watching KOH, (I know its not totally historical but it leads for great inspiration), and I noticed that the Hospitaller had on essentially maille demis. His sleeves looks like they ended at the wrist but added a piece onto the back of his hand with a string going around the front. If I make a pair of splinted gloves to both cover the back of my hand and the cuff, I think that this would let me essentially hide the fact that I was wearing demi-gauntlets. Now all I have to do is find a way to make it look like the baskethilt was part of my hand too. Ideas?
Westerners, we have forgotten our origins. We speak all the diverse languages of the country in turn. Indeed the man who was poor at home attains opulence here; he who had no more than a few deiners, finds himself master of a fourtune.
