13th and 14th c. Kits
Mike W.:
you will want to leave extra space for a maille coif and a padded cap (and big hair if you have it). I normally have a small head, but I got the Large Spangenhelm and it fits perfectly.

Yes! Rule of thumb when sizing any armor is to measure OVER whatever you expect to be wearing under it.

Yuppers, that's why I want to get it in a large, because my head is 24" and the small is just that.
Sir Douglas:
Coming back to this topic because there was a discussion of belt hardware earlier. I've finally gotten around to looking into it some more. At the moment, here's what I'm looking at for my soft kit:
Buckle:

Strapend:
http://lorifactor.com/p680,s-005-strapend-from-gdansk.html
It seems like that buckle is more or less "generic" and would be appropriate for just about anywhere, but what about the strapend? Alternatively, would I be better off just leaving the end of the belt bare since this isn't actually a "knightly" belt?

Nope, this would have been worn on and off the field brass fittings and all. Weather you were a knight or not.
