My New COA
Sir William:
Traditionally speaking, weren't knightly surcoats made of silk?
Sir Brian:
Well yes the more successful knights had them. I was mainly concerned with the durability of the silk, so
I decided I’ll make the surcoat with a heavy weight linen (7.1 oz) liner for the silk. ;)
Sir William:
Silk's pretty tough tho, or I thought it would be. Either way, its gonna be fantastic...I'm not quite there yet with the complex heraldry having just gotten the Crusader itch calmed down in the blood. ;)
Sir Brian:
Well you could always develop your COA, you know the ones you put aside before you took up the cross and vows of a Templar! ;)
Sir Matthew:
I like the new surcoat Sir Brian!. I think that I would put a heavy linen or canvas backing on the silk too. It should help with the wear on the silk. Silk is pretty durable but unfortunately from my experience is subject to snags and runs, which a liner should help prevent the armor from doing. I look forward to seeing the finished product in person.
