I really like it  :)  I gave it a dry run w/o any armour yesterday and the fit wasn't actually bad. It'll fit well with my armour.
Sir Ed, I have the money for the price we agreed on. The deal sealer here will be the thickness of the plates. What gauge is it?

If it's combat ready, then I'm sold on it  :)

Here's what Sir William posted at the beginning of the thread:

Quote
The plates are 18 ga with rounded and beveled edges to mitigate wear and tear on the garment it is riveted into (as well as whatever clothing you're wearing).

Hey, sold!  :D   I'll try to get some pics of myself wearing it with my kit.  :)

Sir Ed, I'll bring the money on the 15th.

Glad it's staying within the Order. I'm interested to see how it looks with your kit, I'm thinking of going with a CoP when I start assembling my 14th Century kit hopefully sometime over next winter.

Knights of Ni! We have brought you pictures!  ;D

I really like it, it fits well over both my Gambeson and my Arming doublet, so I can use it with all my armour configurations! It also doesn't hinder my movement at all, and isn't as hot or heavy as a ciurass. It's also really protective. I wore it for 2+ hours of fighting in armour yesterday, and I took a good hard hip throw from a guy who does judo. I took it full on my back, and didn't feel a thing  :)
