Tried on my 14th century gear in the more historical fashion. Offer thoughts or feedback. :)

Didn't need the squatting crotch shot. :D

Looks good! The X strap really stands out to me as possibly wrong historically, but I'm not completely sure.

You can't see crotch. It was just to see how well it fits & looks.
The x strap is not part of the kit. Used to carry my battleaxe (Has scabbard on back). Part of another kit I wear that is more fantasy but thanks. :)

What can you tell us about the chain you're wearing in those first pics?

My knightly chain for my SCA officer (Lord) status within my Barony & combat group as a knight. Looks good with the attire & my medallion.

I like where you're heading!
