I'm trying to come up with something to go with either the visored barbuta helmet or the sugar loaf helmet. Is the short Elias plate comfortable enough even with a thin tunic? I think it's quite comfortable with just a tunic. The way it's constructed is different from any I've seen, being hinged at the shoulders. I would use a high-neck padded collar if you don't find it comfy enough as-is. A collar would also help with your neck chafing if you decide on a gorget. Visored barbute or sugar loaf? From Mytholon? Didn't know they had 'em. I have the Epic Armoury Darkened sugar loaf. Great helm! (Pun totally intended.)

I like the way that cloak is clasped with a loop and button instead of tie strings. Ought to be comfy. Nice pouch too! I need a brown pouch and belt to go with another kit in the makings. ![:)](//storage.forums.net/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Trying to get away from all black leather.

I went with black on the pouch because all my hard leather in my outfit is black like my boots, wrist bracers and BACK MOUNT SCABBARD. ![:)](//storage.forums.net/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) The rest is dark brown suede. Still need to get antiqued brass buckles for the wrist bracers then pants and then it's done. ![DSC02223.JPG](//storage.forums.net/1694914/thumbnailer/PmjiuSnFIsmnToxYCWMH.png)

Got my gambeson in. It's far more impressive than I imagined, and just a bit more restrictive. Can't imagine maile or plate on top of this. I can see why spears and other polearms where you don't need to move your arms much were very popular.

I thought very hard on one of the suede gambesons for everyday winter-wear. That would make an impression on folks at the grocery store or Walmart, I'm sure.

No sh*t. I used to work for Walmart. You see ALL KINDS. I could make SO MANY comments on that, it almost merits a website unto it's self. But wait! We have YouTube!!!

There actually is a website called People of Walmart. There's also one called People of Walmart Uncensored but I'm afraid to look at that one. I think my life will never be the same again if I did. ![shock.jpg](//storage.forums.net/1694914/thumbnailer/kQrbeeiIuGaDpSVJvPGq.png)
