Where to begin? New Kit in the working..

Sir Edward:
Yeah, the more flat-topped great helms didn't extend past maybe the 1310s-1320s. Afterward, it had transitioned to the dome-topped styles (more like the Pembridge helm), which were frequently worn over a steel arming cap (Cervelliere), or even over an early bascinet, which evolved out of the cervelliere.

If you want to use a great helm with plate armor, you're looking probably toward the middle of the century. I sometimes fudge it a little for the renfaire, by doing a mid 14th kit but with my regular great helm.

For Days of Knights, I brought a pembridge helm:

Sir Brian:
You could go with early 14th and splinted armor and still get by with that helm if you prefer that style.

Sir Jason Simonds:
I am trying to keep my kit as accurate as possible but with some fudging for Faire.

So maybe I should look more into the early to mid 14th Century armor.

I think I will start looking into the Splinted Armor as well, if anyone has a good source please let me know.

Sir Nate:
Early to mid is a good choice, it leaves a lot of armor options.

Sir Wolf:
historic enterprises has a nice combo for both underwear and clothing. then order your boots from viking leather. complete clothing for less than 400 i would say.
