Hah, first they started carrying mail (chainmail t-shirt), and now they have a gambeson:

I wonder if it's any good. :)

just from the location of the bottom strap i'd say it would be hard to move in.

Yes, I saw... It's quite tempting. I could use the "geek points" too. :)

I should have snagged the riveted aluminum shirt years ago when I first saw it. I'd really like an "actually light" light kit. :)

I've got an icefalcon riveted aluminum haubergeon if you're interested. I don't use it, it just sits on a stand in the garage. I believe it's the L size, here: http://store.fastcommerce.com/icefalcon/aluminum-chainmail-haubergeon-large-ff808181179c99bb01179da44fde390e-p.html

I need to get my car fixed first, but once that's done, I'll PM you. Will be at least a week, and the repair bill is ??? so far, so I need to limit my purchases, especially after that Wallace book & thumb drive. Thanks for the offer. :)
