(New silly rule for us considering the rest of your kit can be as described as above.)

Too many people wearing sneakers, I assume?

For SCA purposes you can wear a pink tutu and a helmet with horns while wearing a samurai cuirass and have it all made out of a pickle barrel and be ok as long as you meet the minimum protective requirements :)

Sir Ian, that sounds like the voice of experience :)

Sir Ian makes it sound like us SCA rattan fighters have no historical sense of being with our gear. Most of us like to look good while we pose and bash each other with our bamboo. But for all intensive purposes, he is correct. :) LOL

Ed, reached this conclusion myself a while back. In period artwork, they appear to be pretty convex, but it bothered me for a long time that when I actually made them I thought it didn't look right to my eye despite being what period depictions seemed to show ( perhaps the result of seeing a 2D depiction of something in 3D ). I shallowed them out a few years back. I'd be happy to replace them for you, no charge.
Sir Wolf:
ya you don't need any neck defense, but a pisan/standard mail collar looks pretty awesome. esp if you walk around all day without your helmet w/ aventail
