Thanks still a long way to go though! as for gambeson courtesey of Lord Danes links I'm making my own but the maille fits so well I cant wear a stay puff marshmellow man one underneath my maille and will have to go for light padding thin aketon instead.

Haha I know sounds cute but I don't know many lasses who would cuddle a oily metal mess :P

Nice maille you got, you're actually thinner than me, I do have a question where did you get it as it has the integrated mittens which is what I wanted but never ended up actually getting. What kind of rivets and rings is it? Wedge riveted or round riveted?

Aye I'm a bit wiry lol, only a 31' waist and a 37' chest!

Well funnily enough I've started my own business buying and suppling re-enactment stuff (rather than antiques which Is what I did before) and I got my supplier to make this one for me as a test trial, I'm very very happy with it.

Its 9mm round riveted steel rings with solid rings woven in, in a 4 in 1 pattern, still bloody heavy though

I wish I could have been at that RenFaire!  I do love watching people's expressions at the hilarious.  I especially love the comments, "you know that's not period right?" as their wearing "normal" short kilts, blue paint, and sweedish greatswords  ::)

Royalist, good sir, you are a lucky one to have a "trail set" of mail!  When reading before, I got side-tracked by Sir "Teddy". I have an aketon with four layers, muslin outer and inner layer, with two layers of natural cotton batting.  It's only about 1/4" thick and doesn't puff out in its quilting.  I was actually dismayed by the lack of "poof" so something like that may be just the ticket for you.

Wow Sir Edward!

Definitely a man of bravery! lol I wish someone said "I know thats not period to Braveheart' as that sounds similar to what your describing!!

Thankyou, what does a trail set mean good sir?

Well guys just to continue in the spirit of the thing, I went to Rufford Abbey (nottinghamshire event) and it was quite simply amazing

I got hose, braies, a thin aketon and a sword and helmet.

Sadly the helmet fits a dream, is sturdy and beautiful but is a bit late for my period. Its blued with a little bit of wear but is fab

anyone interested just ask!!

The Sword is gorgeous and I think its one of Pavel Mocs early ones as its sturdy but light

so the night before Rufford im sat there trying to sew a aketon together by hand as we don't own a sewing machine, I was up all night doing it and said to my wife 'I bet i'll find a aketon dirt cheap tomorrow and it will be thin enough to go under my maille' I was being sarcastic and guess what turned up!!!

I got the thin aketon i'm wearing in the photo for five pounds or $7.76, all because it was thin and a bit mucky, never bothers me as if its mucky ill just bung it in the wash :P

I got the hose and padded cuisses which were made for a man with greater thighs than myself, not difficult as you can see i'm a bit on the skinny side. I cut the bit out of the back of them and sewed them back together by hand to make them slim fit :D
