Ed's c.1250-1300 kit(s)
Sir Edward:
Check out the recent progress on my kit....
My new shield blanks arrived:
The one on the left is an aluminum shield blank intended for SCA combat. The one on the right is a Windlass shield, made of wood and pre-strapped, and canvas-covered.
I also recently worked on my mail chauses:
Sir Edward:
I'm not going for complete historical accuracy in my 13th Century kit, but rather I'm doing whatever I can to keep it comfortable, inexpensive, and easy to get in and out of in the renfaire's parking lot without the aid of another person.
To this end, the mail is all aluminum (with some steel reinforcement in key places), and I wear comfortable water-proof boots that look reasonably good to anyone who doesn't know better, but are clearly out of period. I often cheat with a t-shirt under the mail, even though I've been making the surcoats out of linen, and in one case wool. It's all a trade-off based on how visible each component will be, how practical it is, and so on.
Here are some pictures:
