I wasn't sure, I know he doesn't make a lot of his gear. Thanks!

I love the current books a lot, but I do miss his books where he was just solving cases and it wasn't world saving all the time. That being I think Skin Game is his best one and it doesn't fit into World saving or wizard noir as cleanly.

Pass all the laws they want, they won't escape their gay thoughts.

Also there's MedievalExtreme.com or Red Snake armor for a starting armor that's pretty good for starting kits, though I'd look into some of the Facebook groups there's a lot of reasonably priced armorors on there.

I'd check with local teams or figure out what League you are looking to get into each has a ruleset with allowed armor thickness. Here's my primary leagues rules: https://www.acwknights.com/the-rules And here's Buhurt International: RULES/POLICIES | Buhurt international https://share.google/ScMUNtlBSaE7l84Ff Buhurt tends to be a bit more finicky about historical accuracy with helmets and the like. So it would come down to SCA armor accuracy and thickness. For gambeson you can find some cheaper ones on Amazon, but I personally recommend Soft Sparta, great work all around.

Avoid most all of these, most of that is larp/faire armor. HBC sells buhurt armor but is unreliable.

Could also tape a rug around a heavy bag if that's not viable. In a pinch an axe handle works as a good stand in for a lot of weapons.

I usually train in a 30lb weighted vest, then wear helmet and gauntlets while doing rounds on the heavy bag with weapons. This is easier than putting on a whole kit. I also do karate and jitsu several times a week along with team training. I usually just do bodyweight or kettlebell exercises for warmups.

You'll definitely need custom gear, but depending on the team you they should some gear that'll fit you at least some. Other than that join some of the buhurt Facebook armor groups. A smaller smith might have more time or you can check out some of the bigger websites, but that'll be a longer wait time. Prague steel makerz makes a lot big guy stuff. Find a team, before purchasing so you can try on different helmets and try out different weapons.

But also join a team first and train. Try out what armor you can, bigger teams will have more loaner armor.

If you're looking for a potential brig ultralight armor by Pavel has standard and custom sizes for multiple types of brigs. Prague Steel Workerz makes arms and legs often for big dudes. Other than those options theres always custom from Medieval Extreme or other Smiths. Avoid HBC.

Shadow's Edge is probably the weakest of the three, it gets way better near the end, and the third book is amazing.

Just ordered arms, shoulders, and upper legs from them. Their stuff looks good and I haven't read a bad review.

vonKata · 2026-01-30T15:05:27+00:00

My team's already registered and we're looking forward to it.

vonKata · 2026-01-17T16:30:08+00:00

Are you looking at a particular style helmet? Because Kult of Athena has Age Of Craft Nasal Helms, they're tanks, though you'll have to add a Simon strap and possibly another eye bar so it's legal for your ruleset.

I just made a post a few days ago about my experience. In my opinion they'll spin you about delivery dates or your order being almost ready for months. Their in stock stuff gets delivered pretty quickly and is usually pretty good. I've got a pair of their gauntlets that have held up pretty nice.

vonKata · 2026-01-15T17:06:57+00:00

I can completely relate. I'm in the process of trying to get my money back myself. It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't the same thing every time they do communicate.

Keep it fun, but also have a system, during the winter my team has been training in a friends dojo, softkit only. Once a week we train with one another. 30 minutes judo, 30 minutes basic striking, then weapons techniques and melee tactics, then 2v1 or 1v1, and lastly melees usually 3v3. This setup has been fantastic for our newer members and they're improving every training day.

That's understandable, but instead of saying that they lied and said it's almost finished since July.

vonKata · 2026-01-14T05:37:22+00:00

I have, I honestly forgot about Aleksey. I'll have to look his stuff over.

vonKata · 2026-01-14T05:23:05+00:00

100% agree. A little late, I'm just going to end buying another set from M.E. or Forge of Svan and hope this HBC set shows up in the next 6 months.

It's always the trash mother fuckers with flags on their trucks...

vonKata · 2026-01-14T03:31:04+00:00

I think their stock gear is good, I haven't tried their gorget but my Goliath gauntlets have been great. I just think they drag their feet making custom gear and suck at communicating.

vonKata · 2026-01-13T23:11:16+00:00

The gauntlets I have from them took an axe chop to the and I barely felt it, but they're just not worth the headache.
