That is very nice indeed!  :)

It would still be a little on the small side for me I think. Especially over my maille.

That's almost exactly what I currently have, and much like mine, that one would be a little too big for my girlish figure :)

Gorgeous design for a bascinet. I am just not personally into the fluted or conical type helmets. It would look good on Sir Nathan. If I were to get away from Great Helms, Pembridges, or Armets, I would go with this.

Breastplate: Price drop to 335$. You save 40$ (about 11%).
Sugarloaf: I can sell both for 725$ (362.5$ per one). You save 32.5$ for one (about 9%), 65$ for both.

Measurements for top to bottom of breastplate and width at the top would be helpful to make sure it would fit someone. Very nice looking!
