My Kit...14th Century for CotT (SCA Legal)
Sir James A:
Gambeson or CdB Pourpoint > Cuisse belt
I have a cuisse belt ("C belt") in the closet. Never wore it outside of the house. Wasn't comfortable enough.
Thorsteinn:
If that doesn't work for shoes try Bohemond or Amlann.
For rattan try Icefalcon Armoury or http://shop.mastereirik.com/main.sc
Don Jorge:
Any thoughts on a Corazzina vs CoP? I think for a German 14th century kit CoP is more appropriate but any chance that would get by? I like the look of a Corazzina...man now I want 2 14th century kits...one german and one italian...hate you guys! GAH!

This comes entirely down to years you want your kit to represent.
This graph represents a sampling of German effigies by body defense type vs time period. A corrazina could be represented by what Dr. Strong refers to here as either 'Rounded' or 'Globose'. So if you're looking at anything prior to the 1350's you're in a COP. Anything 1350's to 1360's it's shooter's choice, COP, Corrazina, or a single piece globose breastplate. In to the 1370's the COP appears to go the way of the dodo for German effigies.
