• Yesterday a friend of mine and I designed a proper pattern for an arming doublet. Especially the ability to move my arms properly without any restrictions was very crucial for me. All I need to do now is to adjust my waist a bit more.. wesp waist here I come! modify the lower parts a bit more where the ailets will sit and lower the collar a bit.

      The proper arming doublet will be made out of a blue linen body and blue silk sleeves and collar. I think that it will look very dandy in the end. ๐Ÿ˜€

      • Sleek design and very well fitted, something to be proud of!

        Will you add arming points for cuisses as well?

          @LombrosoSquare for that I would need cuisses first. ๐Ÿ˜€ Right now I need to redo the waist, setting it a bit higher and making it tighter for that wasp silhouette. Otherwise I think I’ll add arming points on the sleeves first. It’s all going to be a bit of a work in progress over the next years. ๐Ÿ˜€ Hopefully the new breastplates by Freyhand will fit me well so I can do my semi Dรผrer look. I’ll cheat a bit with a jacket over the breastplate to hide the missing backplate then. Lol

          Cheers!

        • Aaaah, that makes sense yeah! I’m really pleased with the Freyhand armour that I got from them at the Conquest last year. Great service as well, and they’re one of the few armourers that isn’t a custom smith that will add some difference in sizes as well.

          (And yeah, I am, won’t be able to go this year because of work coming up sadly. )
