Help on Gothic Harness!
Sir Wolf:
Joshua, what is your spending limit. I am getting what style you like etc but i have some other links etc i want you to look at. but let me know your cap and i'll put together some info for you
Joshua Santana:
I am seeking to spend around $3,000 to $5,000 or even $2,000 minimum. This leaves with the choices of Merc's Tailors or Ice Falcon Armory after comparing the full harness prices from both armories. (And Thank You Sir Wolf! I hugely appreciate you're help)
Thorsteinn:
Go with Duke Andreas Icefalke.

Joshua Santana:
Post Update: Last night was my first time training in the German Medieval Martial Arts via SIGMA (Staten Island German Martial Arts). It was a blast and had some good feedback from both instructors in terms of what armories to purchase my harness.
They gave approval of Ice Falcon Armory, which is a good thing for me and for RauttSkegg! ;)
I also have checked with Andre Sinou in terms of customizations for armor. I received his email confirming it and now have the potential to order a full German Gothic Suit (with flutting!) or a full 15th Century Italian Harness w/an Armet Helmet!
Now the real and (hopefully) final question is this: Which would be more appropriate since I am training in German Medieval Martial Arts, a Full 15th Century German Gothic Harness or a Full 15th Century Italian/Milanese Harness?
Visual Examples should help a bit.
Late 15th Century High German Gothic Harness
15th Century Milanese Harness
SirNathanQ:
Since the most comprehensive sources seem to come from Germany, I'd go with the Gothic Myself.
Also, we're seeing lots of shiney bits, but I hope to God that you're assembling or already have appropriate things to wear under it. ;)
Even the best-made plate is gonna suck without a decent arming doublet.
