-
Could be a good time to pick up some 3/4 arms in blue leather Sir Edward! ;)

3/4 arms in blue leather? You saw that on there, Sir Brian?
*gone to look*
-
Alas it isn't available on the site's pull down menu, but I'm sure Frank can do that minor customization. ;)
-
Well the arms themselves are there, I'm sure Frank could do the blue leather. As it is, I'm expecting some new arm and leg armor sometime this or next week. :)

Let's face it....leather is a waste to the armor-plated sort. It was intended solely for the purpose of being toted on big-breasted wenches serving my drinks or muscle-packed warrior women looking to break my will. Other than feeling good on my saddle's posterior or protecting my grip from slip on the sword hilt in the heat of battle, it does little for me except for knightly arousal. And that is today's lesson on the proper intended use of leather goods. The message to this story .... "Stick with steel; From hand to head & head to heel (hey, that rhymes, who knew?)." :o

there are some leather used in rene's tournies. lets not foget would could be used as the backing for splinted armour too. also, viking leather is more shoes now than anything else. really good period looking stuff at that.

And leather armor is a good viable option for protection when doing WMA if you want a more period look.
