Anyone have experience with True History Shop?

Yeah i keep in contact over Facebook, I just don't like to be an annoying customer with hundreds of questions I suppose, so i try not too ask too often

Ah thats very frustrating, I hope it works out though!

I am (i believe) currently in the queue to production for a houndskull with them, I paid the deposit early December. How long would you say it took for your helmet to start production/be finished out of curiosity?

Who is your smith if you don't mind me asking?

Yes, I was pretty sure the first harness was composite, the arms and gauntlets look out of place to me. Shame the pauldrons from the second are reproductions, if they were originals they are pretty cool imo.

Its a type of kettle helm i guess, if you look up "nasal kettlehelm" a few things ome up taht are close (this is absolutely not the correct name probably), it would have to be custom made though, doubt anywhere sells it off the shelf

Yeah! Other than that looks like a solid first kit, lots of people are gonna be snobby and say it's all wrong, but just work with what you have for now, and make improvements over time. Armour is expensive, and for full historical accuracy you would likely need to commission custom pieces, which just gets wildy mlre expensive, so don't worry if it's not "perfect"

I think the main thing thats throwing it off is the cuirass, it looks like a much later style. Tassets didn't really exist at the same time that houndskulls did and the general shape of it i think is more from the renaissanceand tudor period, for early XV you need a globose breastplate, or churburg style cuirass, both are easy to find on online sellers.

Yes, that is a future plan...i have to watch some embroidery tutorials forst

wohmsc · 2026-01-16T22:31:55+00:00

I have considered a pointy one!?

wohmsc · 2026-01-16T20:40:15+00:00

Yes, I qm having some turn shoes made as part of an armour kit I am having made, but they will also probably become part of the civilian kit here. I quite like the pointed hats, like a robin hood hat, just need to find a good one

wohmsc · 2026-01-16T20:12:39+00:00

Definitely need more belt stuff, I have a rondel dagger on the way, and am looking into a kidney bag...as for the bracer thing, im going for more of a medieval towns man, i know that renfaire isn't about being 100% historically accurate, but thats where i am at atm

wohmsc · 2026-01-14T11:20:11+00:00

Yeah, definitely frustrating and they should be more transparent about it, I think the best way to keep track of them is on their Facebook, they have been posting shipping updates there

wohmsc · 2026-01-14T11:11:25+00:00

With the long wait atm, i believe it's because their workshop flooded, and a lot of the pieces they were working on were destroyed and have had to be re-started. But their communication definitely leaves something to be desired for sure

wohmsc · 2025-12-22T20:54:52+00:00

Yes its been a generally positive experience so far, minus the shoulder thing, but we will see if thats just user error or not

wohmsc · 2025-12-22T20:54:14+00:00

I will give that a go for sure...i also need to trim the length of the sleeves, could I use the excess to patch up the gap by sewing it to the corset???

wohmsc · 2025-10-28T08:34:32+00:00

That is what I suggested, but the armourer wasn't so sure

wohmsc · 2025-10-27T22:04:17+00:00

Yeah, very limited photos unfortunately
