Ed's Mid 14th C. kit

[Sir Edward]

It's still the X-strap across the back.

[Sir Wolf]

lets add a lower waist strap. hold it to you and more period hehehe.

how much 2 big is the breatplate over the mail? is it something we can squeeze or is it something i may need to hammer?

[Sir Edward]

I already did some squeezing last night, so it might be OK. I'm still looking at bending the shoulders slightly too, but sides were actually pretty easy to squeeze once the plackart was off.

[Sir Wolf]

well thats cool.

now would you wear your livery over it still or jsut wear the breastplate to show it off? heheh

[Sir Edward]

In class I'll probably just wear the armor bare. At faire, I'd make it pretty.

[Sir Wolf]

coolness. that always works good.

now get off your butt and take a picture all together ehheehehehehe

[Joshua Santana]

This is an amazing thread, I never thought how much fun creating a14th Century Kit could be!

Sir Edward:  Thank for showing how to make a Globose Breatsplate out of a GDFB Breastplate!  You're a genius!

Couldn't you strap the plackart over a brigandine for an awesome 15th century kit?

I had been thinking about the same thing. Smiley

In my first post, I was considering on making a plakart/brigandine Kit via Merc Tailor's.  But later on I figured that 14th Century Style fits my budget and my interests.

It does seem that I will be joining Sir Edward in the Mid-Late 14th Century Kit Club!

[Sir Wolf]

[Sir Brian]

[Sir William]

Hey, I just found a Landgraf in my shed...who put that there? 

[Sir James A]

you know, Merc Tailer is having a sale on his greaves right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! get them quick!!

And I should have pics of them in a few days I hope. Supposed to be shipped this past weekend.

[Sir William]

Which ones did you get, James?  The cased ones?  I think you mentioned that at the knighting ceremony.  I owned a pair of his plate greaves and decided on the splinted ones (which you saw) - but I think I liked the plate ones better.  The splinted ones are pretty...and also pretty heavy.  Not so bad with the bracers but the greaves...I bought boot straps with a thick leather face to offset some of the weight of the greave as it can drive into the top of your foot, which can be most uncomfortable, especially when walking.
