Well, if it's mail that needs to be resized, then I stick with my "wrath" answer. :)

Good point, Lord Commander.  So...what've we got, Sir James?

I would concur with that too. Luckily for me, it is not mail.

LOL

Yesterday was rougher at work than I could have expected; I left home at 6:30 am, made it to the office at 8:30 am thanks to traffic from people rubber-necking an accident that was off the road, and I left the office at 9pm and got back in my front door at 10pm - and had not even had dinner!

Tis, probably, no surprise the answer to the question would be "armor". :D If I have a chance tonight, I'll get my wife to help me take pictures. Huzzah!

And... pictures!





I'm not real sure about the two-piece breastplate. If I get some time, I'm going to cut it down a bit into an italian style two piece, and add some gussets on the side. I may have the bevor and sallet for VARF, depending on temp. Also a mail fauld, since the backplate doesn't have any tassets - which I may add. I didn't wear either for the picture, since what I'm wearing is what was in the boxes. :D

Also worn but wasn't in those boxes, is Viking Leather shoes, and Revival Clothing braies and linen chausses. Good grief, the small/medium braies are silly large too. The "footies" on the chausses feel kind of strange. The armor fits really well, considering I got it from somebody else and it wasn't even made for me.

Huzzah for a new harness!

Hey, looking good! It's not often that a whole harness shows up on one's doorstep. :)
