The real question is:
Are the ailettes going to make an appearance?  ;)




They were used up to the early 13th weren't they?

This guy is kinda cool:



c.1320, and he's got some simple plate armor with rondels over full-length mail sleeves and mittens.

BTW Sir Wolf, great link!
Has anyone taken note that there is also a lot of variance with the surcoat styles as there is with
the armor itself?  ;)

that is kick butt man. the pieces are so easy to make i think. gutter upper and lower cannons, simple elbows and double rondels. awesome. plus the shoulder pieces (can't spell them hehehe)

i know lots of different surcoats. makes it super nice for non cookie cutter knights

Dang, that's some fine work. I'm tempted to look into doing something similar with the padded cuisses, and make half-chauses out of mail to fit over modern (but hopefully well hidden) footwear, or some basic ankle-boots. That's not a bad way to go.
