Das Bill:
I think you can pull off the Revival Clothing ankle boots for either 14th or early 15th century without any issues. Same with the turnshoes. And you could also temporarily get away with cotton tights rather than proper hosen while you're saving up... the only thing that would look slightly odd is that you wouldn't have a codpiece... but then, you wouldn't technically need one, now would you? So in a way, it would look just as odd if you did have one. Funny, I never thought about that before. Pshh. Medieval cross dressing. Either way, you will likely eventually have a mail fauld or something that would hang over that area, so no one would ever see.
I'd forgotten to add that Pamela and I were talking about the possibility of her using jack chains instead of full arms, since GDFB makes those. EVERYBODY wears arms, but you never see anyone wear jack chains, which are super cool.

I was lurking around the CAS site, and I found that they now carry these by GDFB:
That piece is very inexpensive, and would be perfect for the 15th c. kit. The only problem would be whether or not it fits. And I'm a little alarmed that it comes in two sizes: Large and Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD).
I also just noticed, Pamela, that they have a houndskull bascinet at a very reasonable price, which would work for your 14th c. route:

But you'd still need the mail aventail.
And it just occurred to me that Museum Replicas also has a bascinet which Sir Wolf posted not too long ago:

And that one even comes with a mail aventail, though it is butted. It would be up to you whether you would want to replace it with more historical rivetted mail.
Geeze, I need to stop with all this fashion advice for Pamela. If I'm not careful, I may start saying things like, "FAAAABulous!", and I'll become much bitchier.

Simple solution = I'll take one of everything. :o

The jack chains really are wicked cool.

I told you you aren't swooshy enough to be a fashion designer. :)
Das Bill:
Hey Pamela,
I found one of those archer's sallets that we were talking about on Peter Fuller's website:

Sir Edward:
Wow, you've been busy! It looks like it's turning into a nice little shopping list. Fabulous! (heh) :)
