Well, if it's mail that needs to be resized, then I stick with my "wrath" answer. :)

Good point, Lord Commander. So...what've we got, Sir James?

I would concur with that too. Luckily for me, it is not mail.

Yesterday was rougher at work than I could have expected; I left home at 6:30 am, made it to the office at 8:30 am thanks to traffic from people rubber-necking an accident that was off the road, and I left the office at 9pm and got back in my front door at 10pm - and had not even had dinner!
Tis, probably, no surprise the answer to the question would be "armor". :D If I have a chance tonight, I'll get my wife to help me take pictures. Huzzah!

And... pictures!

I'm not real sure about the two-piece breastplate. If I get some time, I'm going to cut it down a bit into an italian style two piece, and add some gussets on the side. I may have the bevor and sallet for VARF, depending on temp. Also a mail fauld, since the backplate doesn't have any tassets - which I may add. I didn't wear either for the picture, since what I'm wearing is what was in the boxes. :D
Also worn but wasn't in those boxes, is Viking Leather shoes, and Revival Clothing braies and linen chausses. Good grief, the small/medium braies are silly large too. The "footies" on the chausses feel kind of strange. The armor fits really well, considering I got it from somebody else and it wasn't even made for me.
Huzzah for a new harness!
-
Looking good sir James! :)
-
Hey, looking good! It's not often that a whole harness shows up on one's doorstep. :)

Yeah, still need to think that part through. The breastplate and plackart are quite a bit different in their dishing, so it won't be as easy as just removing the straps and putting a sliding rivet in the front. I might remove the tassets from the plackart, keep the plackart for WMA practice (wearing it by itself) and then attach the tassets directly to the breastplate like Allan did on other cuirasses:

I think I can handle that. I'm not sure about the gussets. Never done them before. The breastplate is too wide for me, but since it wasn't made for me ... can't complain. :) I know how they work and how they're assembled, but I don't know if I have the tools / ability to do them.

I got the email tickler from PB saying there were new uploads so I saw them before I got here. Very nice, Sir James...I daresay you could outfit your own household at this rate!
