Title: FS: Pair of MercTailor pauldrons (shoulder defenses)
Post by: Sir James A on 2014-01-18, 17:15:39: I'm going against my nature and going to sell a bit of armor! Have for sale a set of MercTailor pauldrons by the infamous Allan. Note: These aren't my pictures but this is exactly what I have:

$150 for the locals, or $150+shipping; I think I can ship it for around $15, so call it $165 shipped

These are almost identical to what I'm wearing in my avatar pic; this set does not have the haut guards - the vertical plates that stick up from the large main plate. The normal battle-worthy armor you'd expect from MercTailor; 16 gauge mild steel. Exact same thing I do all my combat demos in.

And don't worry, the money is going right back armor! Just a different style and size..

I do have a freind looking for just this very thing, but I'm not sure they would fit him. What sort of size range would these work for, do you think?

That's a good question. Allan could answer it better than I can. I have about a 17" bicep with my arming coat, and it fits with a little bit of extra space. I'm 5'10" and about 210 pounds, they fit me at 225 pounds and I wager will still fit at 200. If he's interested, I can get some measurements, just let me know which measurements he wants.

Post by: Sir Matthew on 2014-03-03, 23:51:05: I saw these in person this past weekend, they are even more impressive in person than in pictures. I'm jealous that I passed on them for my buddy. He's very, very pleased with them and I'm not the only jealous person in our reenactment unit. If a couple other members can save up the cash, Allan may have people contacting him to make a pair for them.
