Worked the chausses a bit tonight. I'm going to need to add gussets or something to help the expansion around the knee, but as long as I'm careful with sitting down, etc, I'll be able to wear these once I get the second one put together. Right now I just got one reassembled with the leather:

Looks awesome Sir Edward!
 I always have a dress rehearsal for any combination of things I'm going to wear. Got that from the old SCAdian days and it's even more true now if I know I'm going to be doing a lot of walking or any other exercise. especially if it's a new rig, or different style such as my Samurai yoroi. Lets ya' work the bugs out before they get to be a problem.
  Have a question for all of ya's.... has anyone seen how a 15th cent. longsword was actually carried?
What I mean is, was it carried laterally as with a rapier, or more of the traditional straight down type of position? Any photos of Gothic armor I've seen all have the hands resting on the pommel or its an action shot....Any takers?..... :-\

Assembled the second one tonight. I did this one slightly differently... the mail is tied on along the top and sides, whereas the first one is also tied together along the bottom edge of the leather. The second one seems slightly less restrictive. I may leave them like this until I have a chance to test-drive them at faire and see which I like better. :)

Sir Wolf shows some good examples. Here's one of my swords that has a nice historically accurate rig:

Also this one:

(even though that one is displayed in my collection gallery, it now belongs to SwordChick)

You should also check out the artwork of Albrecht Dürer, which has some excellent, detailed images. The most famous is probably Knight, Death and the Devil.

Figured I'd post a couple of the shots from this past faire season, since it looks like I didn't post any updates since before it really got going:

I like it how the armour makes you guys look really massive compared to the ladies. I also like your new heraldic device Sir Edward! Much better than what you previously had on your shield.

Some pics from yesterday at VARF, with the new crest, the spurs (that I need to replace, clearly), white belt, etc. Went all out yesterday. :)

Trying to make me go broke? lol :)

Yeah, I'm tempted to look into new legs for the kit. Just haven't decided what to do.

love them! They look great!
