My first suggestion was to make a Charles de Blois like Sir Ian did; arming coat was second. With multiple layers - undergarments, arming clothing, maille, and plate, less bulk seems to be better from my experience.

Cool, no worries. You explained all the concessions about that cotte then anyway, so it was an informed decision. That was my concern.
Sir Jason Simonds:
As much as I would love to do a fully historic kit, right now I am focusing on semi accurate til I am more money stable to purchase the correct items. I am trying to limit the amount of items that I get, and only get items that would make a kit look to be accurate. Just trying to fudge things a bit til then.
So basically this is a Faire / small event kit where I can get away with not being accurate.
I will start piecing together correct items bit by bit to make a living history kit later down the road. Thanks for all input and suggestions as they will help with making my kit more accurate when I start piecing together the right stuff.
Sir Wolf:
;) you'll look great Jason. you'll have to beat the ladies and Jon off with a stick lol ahhaha

That's basically where I am with most of my kits. You're going to look great! I look forward to seeing how it progresses.
