Yeah, that's when I'd ordered my standard.
I definately will want to hear your feedback on the voiders. I almost bought those as well, but decided I'd wait and save for a little while. I'm also concerned that there won't be enough room underneath my cuirass for them, since it fits so well without them.
Sir Wolf:
just trim them up then heheh. pin the voiders on where they need to go, put the curaiss on and the have someone mark or snip around the edges of the opening.
ya i'll give agood report :) i have a HE standard, i guess its teh same thing

Well my new mail arrives tomorrow! I was right at the recommended limit with the large size so
thought it prudent to go up to the next size. Judging from the weight of the shipping info it will
be 21 pounds lighter than my steel. - Feels better already! ;)
Sir Edward:
I'll have to take a look at yours at some point. The price is very appealing. By the looks of it, I could probably sneak by with a medium. Of course, it would be bitter irony for me to order one right when I'm finally finishing the one I've been making for about 8 years. :)
You'll definitely appreciate the weight! I can wear my aluminum stuff all day without any discomfort at all. My shoulders and back will ache from carrying the helm instead! :)
Sir Brian:
Isn't that always the way though? ;)
I am still undecided if I should get it anodized in a brass finish or not. I haven’t found many
reliable references to brass mail being used in the time period of my harness, so it just might
only be an affliction of vanity on my part. :-\
Still the brass appearance of my old mail was bit fetching in my eyes. :D
