wow awesome.
1 think concerns me. the buttons might get caught on the mail.  I would have maybe gone with a point closure method but yours looks great man. how much did she charge if you don't mind me asking? I would love to have one some day..... some day ehhehe.
can she make add on mittens with a slit in the palm? maybe have them tie onto the aketon etc?

I'm not too concerned about the buttons, they're fairly wide. But we'll see how it goes. Part of what I'm going to be doing is having a front-closure for the hauberk, so if it comes to it, I'll put a leather backing on the hauberk there.

I hadn't really thought about tie-on mittens, but I'm sure she could do it (and she's usually pretty excited to try new things).

She charged me her normal gambeson price ($350), but I think she said she'd discount it a bit since she ran past her time estimates (it's a month late now).

Natural linen, and I think she used cotton padding. Machine stitched, yes.

Well, it'll be a few more days. She made the sleeves too tight, so she's going to rework it.

That's the awesome thing with somebody local - sleeves too tight? Get it adjusted without a month (and cost) of shipping back and forth.  Congrats on the new gear. :)
