I think the ear studs might be just a tad anachronistic 
Nice kit, and very nice fox pelt. Where'd you find that?

Just a little maybe 
I've bought the pelt from a mead dealer at the battle at Aarschot. I loved it so I told him I wanted to buy it from him. I think I paid only 20 euro's for it

With my maile on; there is about a one foot space from my elbows being able to touch each other. If you would like a closer look, I am going to try my hardest to go to the scarbourough faire which starts in early april. |
Thanks! That is exactly what I needed to know!

I have just received word that my new 16th century harness by Illusion Armoury has been completed. They still need to ship it to me, but they did send some pictures. It's hard to tell in this picture, but the helmet is a burgonet with a falling buffe. I am VERY excited to take delivery!

Hi John,
How many years did you have to wait?

18 months is not a bad wait time for Illusion Armoury , they made people wait much longer in the past.
Looks nice!

I would be interested in some other people's technical description of my suit and who could have worn it.
Here's my take:
A 16th century full harness with burgonet and peascod cuirass. Armor that might have been suitable for a landed knight serving in the army of Henry the VIII.
Thoughts?

Hi everyone, just joined the forum.
Good to see some of the great armor out there.
Here is my harness from a few years ago, mid 14th century, Hundred Year War style. The armor consists of a padded doublet worn under a mail shirt and coat of plates, with a bascinet, plate arms, legs and fingered gauntlets.

The plan is that Joram Van Essen and myself will run a re-created 13thC joust on April 25.
13thC harness, solid timber lances, steel coronels and at large (no tilt)
Testing the lances this weekend.
Some pics of my harness as it stands today.
I still need to make the rivetted mufflers and to replace the coif with a rivetted intergral coif.
Not sure if I will get time to re-do my chausses in rivetted mail.
My barrel helm is being made at the moment, so I had to pose in my Norman helm.
I'll get Joram to post some pics of his 13thC harness as well.
My Peter Lyon sword and laced scabbard.
My war saddle.
The strapping for my shield.
Cheers

Excuse me Mr. Walker, but out of curiosity, If you happed to accidently land on you head in that kit, might that result in dire consequences, or is it more an occupational hazard?

New Lamellar.
Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas!
The time of heroes is dead: the christ god has killed it, leaving nothing but weeping martyrs and fear and shame.
If we die... it will be for GLORY, not gold.
