I was worried they wouldn't show up in time for GARF but they came today!  :)




I also recieved my leather clamshell gauntlets for WMA but I'll have to post those later after I re-lace them.  ;)

Thanks all!

@ Ivan, I got them from ByTheSwordInc.com http://www.bytheswordinc.com/. They are comparably priced and offer them in a wide array of colors. :)

I noticed that they are starting to offer customized pieces of armor...very cool.  I like your halfies...they go well on you.

Nice, they will fit your kit rather well. Are they armor grade or LARP grade?

The cuff looks like it could be 10/12 oz leather...which would make it armor grade if the required pieces to support it are also in place.  Depends on the kingdom rules too; it would be for some but maybe not others.

SCA wise they are not enough out here (West) as they do not cover the thumb.

They are the armor grade 1/2 gauntlets but I use them more for show than actual fighting...I have the armor grade clamshell gauntlets for that. :)

I used a 1' square sheet of welded rings from the RingLord http://theringlord.com/cart/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=95&cat=Sheets+of+Chainmail&websess=23357577423045 and stiched along the cuff and cut the maille as I stiched the rest around the fingers. :)
