Sir William:
I like the look of it; very nice, Sir Ian.

Not with a gorget, as this is really a gorget in itself, just made of mail. But yes, they can be worn under the aventail, or with a sallet+bevor (for instance) in the 15th.

Yep. Question was asked and answered on the Book of Faces. Were Sir William there also to see it..... ;)
Don Jorge:
it seems a bit redundant if you have an aventail with a padded liner (that goes out beyond the helm itself). I can see how it would help protect against an attack where a simple aventail wouldnt work.
Not sure if you can see but this one has padding underneath it.
Basically if you have the right type of liner and sewed the end of the aventail to the liner like in the pic above, would you ever use a pisan?
Sir Patrick:
Great work as always, Sir Ian. Feeling inspired...
Thorsteinn:
At first I thought this was about something Italian from Pisa.
Then I saw da awesome. :)
