Today I received my Breastplate from merctailor and I couldn't be more happy with the results
Although I have never bought custom armor before this so I have nothing to go off of I can say that I will most definitely be purchasing from him again in the future.
His general response time/attitude towards his customers is great and something that is a welcome event
Although he may not be the most precise in history *According to others not me* He sure knows how to make armor
Being 16 gauge you'd think y know its normal armor thickness I will get normal integrity, Not in this case, The way he does the mid breastplate ridge the thing is like a rock.
Seriously if you are starting out on armor I would recommend him two times over

Very nice! Allen does excellent work and is so easy to work with. I get all my stuff from him. You'll be enjoying that piece for years to come.
-
Congrats. My avatar pic is wearing a cuirass by him too, same style.
-
Yea, He does great work I cant get over how solid this thing is
-
Allan should be the rule, but he's the exception. A great guy, one of the easiest to deal with that I've ever had he pleasure of doing business with and zero complaints about his wares. Does it get much better than that? Not without a substantial uptick in cost. :)
-
Yea, Hopefully he stays around for a good long while I would be very sad if he went out of business
-
Very nice. I may one day come to him for my starting armor.

Sorry man closed last week, took a great full time job paying Waaaaaayyyy more than armouring has in years and full benies, soothing that armouring has never done. Been selling off the tools since last week. That's it for me.

I think I just died a little inside. Seriously though, congrats on the job!

Aw noooo! Sad to see you go but congrats on the job :)

Congratulations Allan! While the SCA and HEMA world is poorer for it, I’m glad you’re richer for it. I’ve enjoyed our conversations over the years and treasure the armour you’ve constructed for me (it still gets pounded by rattan regularly). :)

Yea, This Breastplate will get good use over the years. Even when I retire It I will still keep it.

Man, that's fantastic news! I was sorry to see all of your tools go up on the AA but I get why now. Seriously good stuff right there.
