It sounds like a cool idea, though I'll have to think about how it'll go together. I just spent some time this weekend tapering my sleeves and they come down over the elbow, so for now the couters would sit over the mail a little bit. Let me see how that all goes together, and I'll think on it. :)

Yep, I got the shipping notification too.

Oh man, you're going up on the 22nd? We were going to go last weekend but it was too soon after Kat's surgery, so we're going this Saturday (15th). Christian and some of his folks will be up there on the 22nd too, but we can't go that weekend because I'm on pager duty.

Well, you won't miss anything, since my new stuff isn't here yet, and we're not garbing up heavily since Kat's still moving slowly, etc :)

Yep, I'll be there! And then I won't be back until nearly the end of September, because with pager duty I only will have every other weekend free, and the third MDRF weekend is when I'll be at WMAW instead. So I should be there on the weekends 1, 5, 7, and 9.

I shall be at Maryland on Sunday of Labor Day Weekend, I believe.  That is the current plan anyway.  It's PaRenFaire.net invasion day, so there will be a few of us Pa rennies there.  I have not yet decided if I am going to armor up or not.  Since I think this is probably going to my only trip to MdRF this season, I am leaning toward no armor so I can more easily get around the Faire and see what I want to...

Well I got my new wrestling jacket and it looked great. I got it in dark green (of course ;) ) and it is
substantially thinner and lighter - i.e. COOLER than my other gambesons, the only problem is I
ordered the wrong size!  :-[
Even though I'm sending it back today I'm not sure I will get the correct sized one back in time for the
NYRF next weekend! Oh well at least I'll have it for MDRF opening weekend!  ;)

We had a great time up here at NYRF/Tux today! Too bad we weren't here at the same time, but I didn't armor up today. We garbed light, mostly because Kat's still moving slowly after her surgery, but we were quite glad after today's heat!

But yeah, I've found that the sizing on Revival Clothing's arming garments is a little confusing. Nicole didn't believe me when I brought it up, but it looks like she's updated it since then. It used to be that for some of them, specifically the gambeson and arming cotte, it looked like I should fit into a small based on the measurements. Nope, both times I had to exchange them. I was always suspicious of it since I wear larges in men's sizing usually, but when it says a 36" waist and a 42 chest specifically, I should believe what they say, right? So I'm glad they updated it, but I guess it's still possible to choose wrong.  ;D

And guess what? I went with the medium and it's too tight in the arms!! I'm sending mine back as well. Time for an exchange!

Heh, if you had ordered a dark green I could've saved you the $10.95 return shipping fee they charge you for exchanges!  ;)
