If it makes you feel any better, I've still got a piece being made for my harness and I started it in 2011.
Ian:
speaking of which, Jeff sent me this photo this morning! It's sitting on a plaster cast that Jeff made of me in 2011 that he luckily saved!
Sir Rodney:
Ian, you have me green with envy! 8)
My sabatons were semi-custom; made to a tracing of my feet. To have pair that are truly custom (and beautiful) made by Jeff would be a dream!

It's actually a really good way to do it. You basically keep building off a foundation as you go through the timeline. The only real difference is in the haubergeon vs hauberk, depending how far into the 14th you push.

He must have some kind of special spots for you. :) When I talked to him back in 2012 about getting a helmet fit over my gorget, it was a 1 year wait time and I think 2-3 month build time. Very nice!
