ah, My Armor buying season.
Sir Wolf:
honestly, i would pass on all of that. what are your price ranges you are looking at for each item? we can find you some killer stuff
Sir James A:
At the $200 for all 4 price range, that's hard to beat. A few ideas:
VikingLeathercrafts.com for the shoes. Historically accurate, you can get modern soles, and worn by a good bit of historically minded people. And they're affordable.
I have that surcoat. They are hand made by Windlass, and aren't too bad. It's the Robert de Sable tunic from Assassin's creed.
The upper legs will steel knees, replace the lace as Sir William said, and I suggest taking off the steel knee part. Same if you had got the set with leather. I haven't seen any historically with that kind of setup, I think it's done with combat in mind. I've been conflicted on buying and chopping a pair of those to my size, or making them, but buying it pre-quilted would be nice.
The coif with ventail is good to start with. You'll probably want to replace the butted eventually, but at high school budget, I would say it's plenty fine to start with since the riveted will be 4x higher.

Second what James said, Frank is a stand up guy and his prices are good.

Yep, and the product is good too. I think I'm going to recommend him to everyone now, when people are looking for period footwear.
