It's been noted by sharp eyed people at other fourms I have a lot of polearms sitting around to demo at events.
There ya go Allan.

I'd like to thank Allan, of The Mercenary's Tailor for this harness.
I'm very sure I'll be placing an order for articualted greaves and mitten gauntlets after Pennsic.
The Helm, I'm still waiting on from another armourer. *bashful* sorry Allan.
The arming coat is from Historic Enterprises.

michael, are those the 2" gussetts? I am very close to paying of my Breast and back plate with an order of the Arms as well. Finally I see what your (I also have the same gorget) Gorget will look like, when worn properly with the B&B. I am too excited and have finally finished my Arming jacket and attached voiders of maile onto it. The kit looks great!

Those are the standard sized gussetts. 1 thing that I'll ship back to Allan is the back plate to have flauds attached there as well.
Wrap shots aren't very forgiving to the unarmoured buttock. *ouch*

Michael T.,
I'm almost crying, I'm so jealous. I've been ogling the Breast and Back from Mercenary Tailor for quite a while now.
Turns out, saving pennies takes much longer to add up when a hobby like this is the end goal. Still, it's great to be able to see how it looks actually worn before I buy it. Now I really need to save my pennies! *Starts searching the couch cushions*

If you want to attach voiders to your arming vest, I can show you how to do it. and also i would suggest Stainless steel rings for the sole reason of not needing to oil rings attached to cloth material (I would imagine a huge headache doing that)
Also what I am planning to do is to make a maile half skirt for that back plate. I hear that on special orders, Allan is near a three year delay. I could be wrong to date.) with a maile cod piece. I have enough rings to do this and since I have been making and modifying my maile shirt for going on 3 and half years now, that will be one of the easiest parts of modifying my kit.
About three quarters of the way down is a pic of my kit. There you can see voiders attached to the back of the legs ( I have the same leg armour as you aslo)

A minor update to my armour: sunday I was researching through the Company armors for an helmet that would fit my big head, but I couldn't wear one over my coif... Fortunately recently I enlarged my coif for a better confort, and I discovered that one of our simpler round helmets fit under the coif. It was an idea from the bible maciejowski...

Yes I have a cervelière from an Albion moat sale that fits very close to the head and my coif fits over it and this seems to have been very popular as the only head defense or with a great helm.
Later these evolved into the bascinet, something you probably already know.
