I love these, the etching of the steel is great and the brass accents are beautiful. They fit well, if anything the circumference of the front thigh plates is too wide, but I am unusually slim so I can overlook that, and with the sizing of the straps they still fit well, I can run, jump, squat and sit in them.
Armor is great quality, send your measurements and you make it. THNx
Greetings! I am in love with a lot of your armor but I was wondering when I am writing in my size should I be measuring with my gambeson/ padding on? Thanks
Yes, please measure yourself over choses/padding that you're going to wear underneath these legs.
So beautiful! Armor is very unique and of highest quality!
