Armor for SwordChick
Sir Edward:
How does the sizing normally work? Do you work from a measurement of the circumference around the knuckle-portion of the hand, and maybe an overall hand length? Or something similar? I'm curious, because you're getting me tempted now. :)
Sword Chick:
I'm very very tempted. :) It's just a matter of which ones would go best with the pieces I currently have.
Would my dishpan hands yellow gloves be appropriate liners or would the color be too inaccurate?
Das Bill:
If you want them for functionality, the Mercenary Tailor gauntlets are very nice. But I don't think the current models really match your harness, Pamela. Most of them have elements of later period armours, though the Wisby gauntlets are definately 14th century.
The finger bucklers might work with demi-gauntets, though. There are a number of those seen in Paulus Kal (and I think in Talhoffer as well). I'm at a Panera Bread at the moment, and they block weapons related sites, so I can't see the Merc. Tailor site at the moment to check to see how close they'd be. I've thought about getting a pair for myself, though, since they seem like an easy way to get good finger protection.

Augh, that's outrageous. I hate that sort of "politically correct" junk. Next thing you know, they'll be blocking one political party's web content and not another. :)
Allan Senefelder:
Bill, I was so glad that Jason picked up "In the Service of The Duke" at CW '07 from Christian, contained in its lavish illustrations are several examples of finger bucklers ( as well as bevors being used with chaple de fers ). Previously I had been limited to one Italian pair shown in a sculptural effigy as reference. That book is just a wealth of knowlege as far as armour of that period goes!
I told Pam via email earlier that if theres a pair of gloves that you have that you like working with we can install those rather than our stock welding glove in everything but the Wisbys. Theres no extra charge for it.
