Lord Dane:
Ok. Let us start your shopping experience by getting you some food so you can fit in the armor. A hardy knight is a happy knight :)
royalist89:
Haha I'll bulk up with a good gambeson and with my maille on me rest assured and then backed up with a helmet that actually fits....
right will get some photos on here of other kit later, maille is to arrive on monday.. I actually can't wait
I'll show you guys my coat of arms design first.
I researched the family history (unfortunate name i know) originally thought to be scottish then it turned out to actually be northumbrian clan, I changed the lions from scottish ones to English style rampant to accomodate then because the mrs is a finn and they don't have heraldry as such, thought it would be nice for the kids to have a bit of that on there so I stole the arm off the finn lion and changed it so my lions we're not stabbing themselves in the head!! some painful hours of drawing an outline via copying and sewing by hand ... applique style... linen is a pain! and todahhhh finished basic surcoat.
any luck with gambeson Sir william?
Lord Dane:
Will make for an interesting signet and blazon I would think. Nice work. Northumbrian heritage?? Very cool.
Sir William:
royalist, keep an eye on Sir Wolf over there...you should check out his Knight page here on the site when you have the time and you will see, it runs especially deep in him.
At times I have to turn a blind eye, otherwise I'd be perpetually broke (sorta like now, but worse lol)!
Thorsteinn:
If you are inclined you can make a gambeson. Mine is a 3 layer 100% linen with cotton thread. Ran about $85 in materials some 4 years back. Best piece of kit I've ever owned.
I used the Basic Armoring PDF and the one from White Mountain Armory to make the design.
