I might have to say that I do have the patience of a Saint unless if it business then I will have too much time and too many things on my hands.   ;)

The helm I ordered a few months ago finally came in. I think this is going to work really well. It has a chin-strap and leather suspension. I tried it on by itself, and it fits OK (though slightly loose), so I think it'll be OK over the cap and coif too (I can play with the height of the suspension as well).

Awesome! Would you mind bringing it sunday? I'm a little sad that the lion crest I ordered is bigger than the top of the great helm I have, and since that one doesn't taper at the top, it might be a better fit. Congrats on the new helm!

Sure, I can bring it along for some show-and-tell. This helm is a little early for putting crests, but not by much.

I think the crest size will work OK on your helm, you just need a good torse to hide the transition point. :)

Wow, that's really nice looking...head and shoulders above some of their previous offerings.

I love that helm and have been coveting it on that website for quite a while. Nice acquisition!
