Here is my current harness. Wore it for some 9 hours the other day and found it to be not only comfortable but hardly hindered me from writing even. Sadly we left our camera so I had to use these pictures from my backyard. No doubt in a few months it will be different but I finally got it more or less done. It is for a knight of Scotland from the 1340s, named Sir Robert de Moffet, who spends his time looking for employ in war or often as the protection of Scottish Ambassadors (his Uncle and Cousin). In the early 1350s he becomes a diplomat himself.

I actually forgot my rerebraces in this picture and ran out of ties for my sabatones and besegews at the armpit and top of shoulder.

It actually was made to be altered to a decade earlier to two decades later.

For my 1320s I drop the rerebraces, splinted cuisses (using the padded cuisses alone) and plate sabatons for mail ones and will sometimes use my great helm

For 1340 I use the rerebraces but not always splinted cuisses still and almost always use my bascinet.

For 1350 or there after I use plate rerebraces with the splinted cuisses and different gauntlets.

I am not sure those sun glasses are period, but they go suprisingly well with the rest of the ki Razz

t. Both harnesses look great.

Well helm and gauntlets you may need but you already have an exquisite belted scabbard which puts me to shame! Big Grin

Here is a picture from last weekend at Sterckshof (Antwerpen, Belgium). It was 30+ degrees celsius, and you can see the heat has gotten to me.

Bram,

Looks cool.... or not so cool depending on what we are talking about. Do you have any more pictures of your event?

Hi all,

I've been waiting to get a few tweaks done before posting - like finishing some tailoring to my haubergeon - but since I seem to be dragging my butt on that, here we go. Now, let's see if I can get the images to post:

Greg, your current kit looks *wonderful*! I've been thinking about moving into the 14th century, and your harness is certainly inspiring me to do so even more. Happy
