Looking good there ECOX  :)

Get some maille chausses and mittens and you'll have a complete 13th century armour kit!

awesome, very cool.

now for a tailoring info. place the coif on first and then put on the hauberk or put the mantle part of your coif under the surcoat. i know it sees odd, but for the time period you are looking like, the coif was i believe still attached to the hauberk. still this is an awesome picture.
