Awesome! You can also get a pair of shoes too. Remember to keep in mind what country and social class your going for. Viking leather crafts have nice pairs, not the most historically accurate, but play the part well enough. it best to get the vibram soles instead of their regular soles because the leather soles they make are inaccurate and slippery. All they do is add a rigged rubber texture to the bottom of the shoe but when walking around no one will notice it. Most shoe companies make slippery bottom shoes. Here, take a look at these: http://www.vikingleathercrafts.com/14th-century-boots-and-shoes.html
Another place that I that I have been told have good stuff is Revival Clothing, But I have only ever gotten anything from Historic enterprises. Just a note, historic enterprises do not pre wash clothing so that if your purchase is to large for you, you can wash it and shrink it yourself! There is usually a 14 day return policy too.

that package is well passed your intended timeline.
You don't want a vest, and you want single leg wool hose (chausses), not split hose.
All inner garments should be linen, and outer garments wool. The Alexander Cotehardie or regular Cotehardie are appropriate for an outer garment for your time. And then a wool hood to top it off.
Sir Jason Simonds:
Ok, what would you recommend of the packages for mid 14th with a bit of plate armor.
Ian:
If you really just want to buy a package I would recommend these to get you started on a decent mid 14th century impression:
Alexander Cotehardie Combo
Cotehardie Combo
The mid 14th century was the first time that fashion tended toward tailored fitted garments.
This one will do for a more basic impression:
Bocksten Tunic Package
