14th Century Arming Coat Patterns?

(1/6) > >>

Sir Rodney:
I’m looking for suggestions and recommendations for a mid-fourteenth century arming coat pattern.  Here’s what I’m thinking:

I’d like to be “historically responsible” to 1350’s southern England / northern France.
Pattern recommendations are preferred because funds are tight and I can sew.
The garment will see a lot of wear and tear in SCA style rattan combat.
While the garment will not necessarily need to meet living history group standards, it would be nice to bring my game to the next level.
 
I’ve found patterns for sale from “Reconstructing History” Kass McGann and “Tailoress” Tasha Kelly, both of which seem well researched and reasonable.  Has anyone had experience with these or other patterns?

Sir Wolf:
i made the coharde(sp?) from kass err i mean reconstructing history and it was easy.

Sir Patrick:
I made mine from the Cote Simple website. Pretty easy.

EDIT:  White MountainArmoury site, not Cote Simple.

Ian:
Huge vote to Tasha's pattern, here's the cote I made from it:

Sir James A:
