Also be sure to ask before you spend outrageous amounts of money Jeremy. Many of us have custom cuirasses or quality ones that can meet current SCA, HEMA, WMA, etc safety and/or historical guidelines depending on their functional or expected usage. You are in a good mass of knowledge here. Ask before you decide. There are many good or better options out there.

If there are folks on here that sell kit I'd be more than happy to share the wealth within the organization rather than spending my money on folks I don't know or non-reputable sources. I had a kind of bad experience with medieval collectibles that put a sour taste in my mouth I will admit. I'm interested in 13th-15th century kit much like many of the other folks on here it seems. The fully decked out Arthurian style knight appeals to me the most.

Worry not Sir Ian, I had already read it through and through before the recommendation was even made! I think it's spot on and will differ to it throughout my arming process.
