If she's going for a "more plate" approach, I'd skip the jack chains.

Yeah, I admit to having mixed feelings about the jack chains... I think if I were suggesting it to be normal, then it'd be out of the question. I don't think it's entirely unplausible, though, and that's why I think Pamela could get away with it for the time being until she eventually upgraded. But your point is definately well taken.
(And FYI, in case I've never said this before, you and your guys have some FANTASTIC kit!)

Go with the gothic ones, Ed. This second one is too early period for your kit.
Sir Edward:
I agree. When I get a chance, I need to measure the end of the vambrace, since it flares out a little and is already slightly big on my arm.

http://www.armouronline.com/usd/product/574/breast__back_plates.html i've not seen much of their work up close. i have a paid of their gauntlets that are a number of years old (i got them like 4th hand) and they suck bad. these ones: http://www.armouronline.com/usd/product/587/gauntlet.html but who knows if they've gotten better etc.
these two pieces have me wondering if its a good idea to order or not: http://www.armouronline.com/usd/product/482/shank_guard.html http://www.armouronline.com/usd/product/480/knee_guard.html but at 176 plus shipping for full greaves.... hmmmmmmmm is it almost too good to be true?

Yeah, from the photos they don't look too shabby... but I don't blame you for being hesitant. I don't know of any reviews of these guys.
Its funny, I've seen several modern versions of that exact same gauntlet style, and every single one has been terrible. I wonder what every is doing wrong? Maybe the design is more subtle than it looks, and people underestimate them?
