Measurements are: I am 176cm tall / just under 5'11" Head is 59cm / 23 1/4" Chest is 104cm / 41" Waist is 89cm / 35" Upper thigh is 58cm / 22 3/4" Inner leg is 82.5cm / 32 1/2" Outer leg hip to floor is 108cm / 42 1/2" The harness is copied from an original in a private collection in Austria. This harness appears in the Gerry Embleton/John Howe- The Medieval Soldier. I had a sallet with it that I sold and instead had the Great Sallet made for it. This helm was made by Alex Schiebner. It has a handmade period liner sewn in. It is based on helms shown in the Beauchamp Paegent and a helm in the Royal Armouries. They are a rare helm and I only know of 2 other repros in the world at this time. It comes with a period arming coat in black linen that I had made.  The harness was made by Jiri Lucius (http://www.luciferarmoury.com/index.php?lang=eng). The greaves are not quite right and I have modified them a bit. The harness was used for jousting. It has some scratchs, the odd shallow dent and the faulds are a bit twisted from being in a war saddle. This is a working harness so does show some wear. I am very particular about my gear and I have kept it clean and polished and once a year it gets pulled apart and refurbished. Still, being a working harness it does show some wear. Just so you know it is not pristine. The whole harness and helm are mild steel. The breastplate is 2-2.5mm, the back plate 1.6mm, the helm is mainly 2-2.5mm, the leg harness is 1.6mm, the left arm and couter is 2mm, the right arm is 1.6mm, the gauntlets are 1.2mm. There is a flat ring, wedge riveted mail standard for the throat that I added the leather liner and straps to. I hand made the brass buckles for this. It has an arret that I made for it as well. For more pics of harness and Arret, please contact me for the links.(I have taken the heel plates off the sabatons) There is also a crest that will go with the helm with real pearls, it is shown on a different helm here and the plumes are NOT included. If anyone has any further questions please don't hesitate to e-mail me.
