Shield

some of it i have taken from my norman kit. sigh, I'll fill in the pieces later so each kit has its own gear.  tonight I'm sewing on the cross to my cloak. i would say with the mail, sword, and helmet i have i am at the mid to late 12th century (1150ish) I would REALLY like to take this kit into the 13th century around 1230-1250, but in doing so I would need a new helmet, gambeson, long sleeved mail with mittens, mail chausis and padded cuises. not to mention a new sword, shield and dagger. sigh ehheheh. any suggestions?

Sir Edward:

Suggestions? Hmm, how much do you want to spend?  Hehe :)

Sounds like it's really coming along! What helm are you using for it currently? A nasal helm? Or one of those crusades full-faced helms?

We need to see some pictures. :)

Das Bill:
FYI, Revival Clothing is coming out with a new line of Crusades-era clothing.

Sir Edward:

That's awesome. I'd have bought that stuff up a number of years ago. Now that I'm working on my own color schemes and heraldry, I'm not planning to do so much Templar/Hospitaller stuff. Still, it'll be tempting anyway.

Sir Wolf:
kewl. but wow what a mark up  :o :o hehehe thats maybe 20 bucks worth of wool. hehehe and at 1206 surcoats on hospitallers weren't done yet that came much later like say 30-50 years.

in 1206 we're still wearing the robes baby! :)
