New maille type at CASIberia

<< < (3/5) > >>

Sir William:
Ah, that is good...and what I wanted to know, thanks.  I'm still undecided- do I want to commit to a 13thC persona, or do I want to dabble in the 14th?  I dunno...both the blessing and the curse in pursuing this avenue of interest.  lol

Sir Wolf:
i can't really see the difference than the gdfb stuff. am i missing something?

Sir William:
Between that and cap-a-pie?  I don't know, really...other than the CAP stuff won't be "totally tubular" like most of what else you get that isn't custom-made for an individual.  It isn't supposed to be, in any case, although they can't help it with the arms.

Sir Ulrich:
Yeah I am a bit mad my maille didnt come with tapered sleeves, I am prolly gonna pay someone to tailor it for me cause doing it myself is impossible cause I hate making maille it's too hard. I wanted alternating rings too but guess I'm gonna have to deal with what I got right now.

Sir James A:

I'm thinking of getting a hauberk from them.  How would you rank the historicity of the fit, finish and construction method?  This won't be cheap, but I'm hoping it'll be authentic enough.

I've heard nothing but good things about them. As far as historical accuracy, this is a good read (http://www.myarmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?p=187600).
