It serves the same purpose today...I looked at the prices Sir Ian...not even as a xmas and birthday present to myself I could justify it :)

Maybe after I have my Harness I can be like "well honey, I havent bought armor in a year..."

But it IS beautiful!

I thought of it like any other piece of armor essential to the whole harness.  So when viewed as one more bit of armor, it's actually not too bad compared to what the rest of the armor set me back.  Keep in mind though that this whole harness is a many year process of acquisition.  I could never afford to buy all this stuff in one shot!

Trying to look noble!  Such an occasion demands one roll their wool hood in to a chaperone!  :)

I believe the term to describe what you achieved is "nailed it!".

It's most definitely first and foremost a fashion trend.  A kind of 'look at me, I'm a knight, I'm so rich!' kind of thing... :)

Hehehe...that's kind of what I had figured.


Also, I feel a whole lot better knowing I'm not the only one who has to try on my entire kit whenever I get something new. ;)

I'm not sure if you're asking because of the other discussion on belt placement and the natural waistline, but lest others get confused, plaque belts are worn low on the hips and often referred to as knightly hip belts for that very reason.

That was precisely why I asked- it can get confusing after a while.  At least for me.

Agreed, but, too much time around such wonderful weapons and armor, one can't help but stir up a bit of jealousy - which often fuels other purchases - in turn causing jealousy in someone else - and the cycle repeats. 'Tis a glorious thing!
