You looked fine to me Mike - the riveted mail made up for the gamby!

Kim Siddorn.

> Greetings Douglas,i thought i'd reply to point number 1 on your list of
notes.As the guy in armour on the right at the front of the arch of swords
{yellow & green shield with blue stripe,red tunic }i was wearing fully
rivitted mail but no gambeson.I took my gambeson with me, it's constructed
entirely of linen ,30 layers in the front,20 in the back & 9 in each arm &
it aint light or cool.Now considering that Regia can't prove {to the best of
my knowledge?}that Gambesons existed & as such their wearing of isn't
compulsery & taking in to account that a paved square in the middle of the
city on a very hot sunny day with no refreshing breeze in sight isn't the
healthiest of places to be wearing lots of metal,wool & linen i choose not
to wear my gamby.I've done my fair share of heat stroke as have a lot of
members of Regia, we wasn't fighting so i wore a full complement of sharps &
decided to do without my gamby, which to be honest with you ,makes me look
like an even fatter bloater than i already am!

> Some notes from the JVC pictures:
> 1. I see that some people wear gambesons under their mail and some do not
(eg: "Getting Bored").
> 2. I like Nathan's helmet!! Can I ask who made it?
> 3. Martin Williams on the indoors shot, I can see the way the placket/yoke
on his tunic is made. We need more pix like this! ;)
> Thanks Kim!
