I finally got a response from TherionArms with an update to my aventail...it is suppose to be in some time this month. Just as well since I have a new shield to paint...which I am waiting for the new stencils to arrive!  :(

Really? - I wouldn't ask more than $115.00 seeing as you can pick up a nice GDFB helm from KOA
for a little more than that. My homemade liner isn't the best but it is removable and washable.
You might also want to make a better method of securing the visor when it is up.
…I am ashamed to specify how I have it now as Sir Wolf and Sir Andrew would ridicule me to no end!  ;)


I can bring it with me the next time you go to the faire if you let me know a day or two before.  ;)

So yours (and by extension the KoA ones) came w/out a liner?

No the KoA (GDFB) bascinets all come with a very nice liner. My visored sugarloaf helm that I was wearing when we first met is from Armstreet and was unlined.  ;)

Oh, got you.  I really liked it nonetheless!

Sorry but no aventail yet!  :(

I think it only comes in one size. It fits me nice and snug with a padded arming cap on and my bare head measures an even 23" if that helps.   ;)
