http://www.westlandcrafts.com

they just got their web page up. its not finished and there are lots of stuff offered on the armour archive that hasn't made the page yet. they said it should be updated within the next week.

GREAT prices on shoes etc. and they do bulk orders for like less that half the retail price.

The site appears to be a reseller of revival.us (not to be confused with Revival Clothing). Sadly, I can't really do business with them in good conscience, as I've found Revival's business practices to be very immoral, and I try to steer people away from them whenever possible.

nope, they are a company in india. if you check the armour archive they are a company tring to make money with decent business practices (at least what they state)  they have the historic shoe books and are basing all of thier designs on it as well as the archive suggestions.

Ah, okay. They definitely have some of the same products as Revival.us (unless if they've plagerized the designs). For example, I use those same WMA Kevlar gloves that Brian Price designed for Revival.

i dunno what is up with that. i think someone wanted some stuff and they made it for them. there are several archive threads for them. i have been tempted to go in on the AA group orders for some shoes, i just don't have the cash.

The story when they first popped up on the AA was that becaue they got screwed by a US company they supplied ( they did not and would not say who ) out of $250,000 they were owed, they had opted to remove the middle man and sell direct. They've been going gangbusters on the AA ever since.

Ah, very good to know!

In that case, I hope they start actually putting prices on their website. :)
