OK, so I'm getting really tempted now to also step into the mid to late 14th C in addition to the other kits I have. I really like some of the armor in this period,
except for those god-awful houndskull bascinets. So I'd look to other helms of the period.
I'm open to all sorts of suggestions here. Mainly, I want to make sure I do a reasonable job of pointing or strapping or whatever. I noticed that a lot of the appropriate gear from Mercenary's Tailor gives you the choice between buckled straps, or holes for pointing. Pointing is probably more period correct, but I'm not opposed to having pieces that are strapped to each other for suspension either.
To get started, it looks like it might be fairly easy to get a set of arms and legs, use the merc's tailor spaulders I already have, and wear it over the mail. With a decent over-tunic, I can probably save getting a new breastplate or brigandine for later. I also already have a small open-faced bascinet with integrated ventail that might work well enough for now (from Museum Replicas).
So one question that comes up already is this-- how should I point the top of the arms? It would be over mail, with sleeves that end right around the elbow. I usually don't wear a full gambeson under this stuff because of all the 85+ degree weather. And I'm not going to wear mail over my arming cotte that I have for the plate armor, simply because it has those voiders on it.
