ATTN: Anime Boston Spags

[Richter]

...and on of Dimo's shows.  ...and a few other times.  What's the point of owning a chainmail T-shirt if you don't?

If I can lay hands on the hauberk in time, I'd likely wear it in too.  Easier than managing it in a bag. 

[Suu]

that and the hauberk is far more menacing than the ringmesh.

[Luna]

Yeah, the ringmesh is pretty delicate looking.

Though, for costume, honestly, I'd rather have it than the heavier stuff I've played with.  It's a lot more comfortable to be hiking around all day in.

[Suu]

He's not wearing it every day, it's for show. I want to put a skinny nerdy anime fan it in and watch him melt to the ground.

Yeah, you've seen how I hand helms to the kids at demos.  The trick is to support the weight of it without letting your wrist shake, let 'em get a grip on it, and let go all at once.

I'm tempted to see if I can retrieve it for just this purpose.  It also drive home a few point about historic armor.

-It's heavy.  Heat, dehydration, and exhaustion are all on the menu at once.  You cannot be in good enough shape.
-It's dirty.  Well maintained chain is covered in oil at the ebst of times, shedding rust powder, dirt, and broken rings at the worst.  It will turn whatever clothes you have on into shop rags.
-It's not a cheat code.  You'll still get clubbed, contused, sprained, strained, bruised and battered.

Exactly.

It was requested that we go over real armor, so we'll go over real armor.

Last year they wanted Feudal Japan, I gave them Feudal Japan. This year they asked for Medieval....that's their fucking mistake.

Heh, wonder if we can find some leather armor that's been left in a bag since Pennsic.  The green fuzzy stuff is an education...

NO.

NO NO NO.

I need you to stand in the back and take pictures whilst Richter and I give them a right proper edumacation.

Can do.

[Richter]

I can bring the lamellar as an alternative.  It passes for waxed leather, and is a documentable design. 

[Suu]

Troof.

Your show, your call.
