Ed's Mid 14th C. kit
Sir Wolf:
well remember. by the early 14th century you wore a poupoint to hold up your pants, maybe a linen tunic, a aketon or arming garment under you mail, mail then your coat of plates. you gain a little bit of room then ehhehe. besides some of us are built like barrels ;)
Sir Edward:
It's hard to say. These days, it's a pretty safe bet that most enthusiasts are a little larger around the middle than they'd prefer to be. :) But they're not always designed that way. The Revival Clothing pourpoint I ordered is pretty snug in the middle, but I can slightly overlap it over the top of the chest. It was clearly meant for someone more athletic than myself. Either that or they want you to really be able to tighten it down around the waist and reshape yourself a little. :)
Sir Brian:
Yeah my Revival Clothing pourpoint has become a little loose with the weight loss so I'll have to take it in or I might just strategically put some eyelets in sides or back to snug it in tighter. :-\

--- Quote ---I don't work in aluminum. I can, however, make these in stainless for a small extra charge to cover the difference in materials cost if your friend is concerned with maintenance.
If weight is his sticking point, I would throw out there that for an average sized person these steel CoP's weigh 8-9 lbs tops and when properly fitted and worn you really don't notice the weight difference when compared to say a 4-5lb aluminum CoP.
I actually have some blue leather left over from another custom CoP that may be sufficient to make another one. If not, I can order most reasonable colors pretty quickly.
I have attached a pic of a CoP made with said blue leather. The client was larger than I am so the CoP fits very loosely in this picture, but you get the idea.
My contact info is on my website and my turnaround time is currently about 2 weeks out if you or your friend have any further questions or want to place an order.
