I thought maybe I was doing it wrong...so it IS big.  Ok, cool...at least you can modify it to suit- going the other way might be more problematic but as it stands, it'll accept quite a bit of body range.  Glad it got to you in one piece, and so swiftly too.

And this is the actual CoP, front.


Hey all, I think I may go ahead and put this back up for sale, same price (I'll eat the shipping). It's fairly big on me, and I just don't think I'm going to have the time to take it apart and resize it. If anyone wants to take a look at it tomorrow at the Longsword Practice, I can bring it along.

Otherwise, Sir William, do you remember who your other potential buyer was?

Hmmmmmmm I'm about to go broke from car repairs and a couple other things like owing an albion's worth of WV income tax, but if you don't mind bringing it along I'll see if it fits me or not and if it fits I'll put it on my "think about it" list and see if I get any side money soon.

I was interested, but if it's big on you, it will definitely be big on me as well. Were you wearing it over maille?

Sir Nathan is giving it a try right now, so we'll see how well it works out for him.

I hadn't tried it on over mail yet, but I had so much room in it that it was clear my mail wouldn't fill the space. I wanted it to fit more snug on that kit.

Sir Edward, I'll hunt up his pm to me on AA. 

Ok, his name is Chris Cottrell (on AA) and I just messaged him to see if he was still interested; let you know what I get.  That is, if Sir James does not want it.

I'm letting Sir Nathan have a go at it first; it would be the start of an 8th harness for me, so it may be better that I don't pursue it. :)

I really like it  :)  I gave it a dry run w/o any armour yesterday and the fit wasn't actually bad. It'll fit well with my armour.
Sir Ed, I have the money for the price we agreed on. The deal sealer here will be the thickness of the plates. What gauge is it?

If it's combat ready, then I'm sold on it  :)
