Where to begin? New Kit in the working..

(1/31) > >>

Sir Jason Simonds:
So I am thinking about doing Late 14th Century. Who wants to help me put a kit together??

I will need to get pretty much everything from top to bottom.
As far as clothing items, I think I am capable of making most of them myself just need patterns.

I am trying to keep my budget to around $1000.00

And Go!

Sir Wolf:
soft kit (clothing) or armour or all together?

Sir Jason Simonds:
All of it.

Right now I have tall boots for regular Ren Faire attire, but not shoes for armor.
I will need all forms of clothing, top to bottom.
Also need armor pieces from top to bottom.

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Sir Brian:
Well you said on Saturday that you'd probably make your own arming clothes right? That will save you quite a bit there and it is where you want to start. A decent riveted flat ring habergeon would probably be next. Legs are going to be a challenge on that budget though.  :-\

Ian:
For the sake of full disclosure, you've picked a terrible time period for the budget you've selected, assuming you're interested in a knightly or even man-at-arms kit.  A full harness of 14th century plate armor and appropriate soft kit cannot be had for less than $1,000 combined unless you really just want costume pieces.
