Hello all!

Question. Does anybody have any idea about the size of the GDFB surcoats? On every website, they either do not list a size, say "one size fits most", or just say "Standard size". I'm a bigger guy, I wear between an XL and XXL shirt, and I worry about this surcaot fitting over a gambeson and mail. I suppose I could always alter it, but that's a pain in the ass. Below is a link to the one on KOA I'm looking at. Any input on the size of these things would be appreciated!! Thanks!!

My brother and I bought them, and he's an XL, but it was still quite loose on him. I'm a medium and I was swimming in mine, had to alter it rather extensively.

It's the steel on the inside that counts.

If you are that concerned about it, you might go with a tabard that is open on both sides. You just slip it over your head and belt it up. Medieval Collectibles has one very similar, made by Mytholon, in tabard-style. I'm terrible on computer stuff, or I would post a link.

This will have to do...just look under 'Tabards and Surcoats'. www.medievalcollectibles.com

Sir Thorfinn: Trooperwill - we'd all love to help. My suggestion is to start posts with 3-4 swords at a time so the forum can give you our best guess, as the prices can be a moving target. Just my .02 Dec 4, 2024 15:01:52 GMT
