Armor for SwordChick
Sword Chick:
I am so gosh darn happy! Wow, Bill, I think this is the first time someone has given me a gift as a thank you for all my nagging. :) Thank you, my friend.
<wearing the helmet and doing a little happy dance>
Would you like a tall skinny bass player in exchange? Oh, that's right. You are one. :D
Sir Wolf:
well we want pictures Pam!!!!
remember Bill, we don't see jack chains on anything but jacks. meaning low man on the totem pole as far as plate. i don't think they would work so well on an arming doublet with a bunch of other armour. If she's going for a "more plate" approach, I'd skip the jack chains. I still wear my sleeveless jack with full arms and gauntlets, only because I'm a billman and an archer. As soon as I find the right legs and breastplate I'll drop the jack :)

--- Quote from: Das Bill on 2008-04-03, 06:48:59 ---Either way, "word on the street" is that BestArmour has about a year waiting list right now. Still, I'm considering getting on that list for a set of custom gauntlets... Pamela, if you're interested, let me know, maybe we can go in on an order and split shipping from the Czech Republic.

Let me know if you guys do this, I see all sorts of things I like.
I love the look of these: http://www.bestarmour.com/detailsparts/rukavice22.html
Though I suspect these would work better with the wide cuffs on my vambraces: http://www.bestarmour.com/detailsparts/rukavice23.html

Christian Tobler:
If you're going to go with BestArmour, and incur the wait anyway, I'd really advise getting fingers on the gauntlets, or get mitten gauntlets. Sure, there's some evidence for half-gauntlets with mail fingers, but really for the 15th c., that's an oddity, and much less protective at that if you ever wanted to bout with steel blunts.
