Re: Skin-tight maille....?
Things like the depiction of mail have to be taken in the much wider context of 12th century art conventions. For example, the depiction of hose is clearly unrealistic in terms of being impossibly close-fitting: Clearly, the depiction of leg coverings is not to be taken literally and this can be ex...

Baxter Hart and Abraham or Parkins are the better bet

Re: Arrow baskets
My understanding is that the baskets were for transport, to stop the arrows being crushed in waggons or on board ship. ISTR that we took 1,000,000 or thereabouts arrows to Agincourt. So baskets to protect the fletchings seem sensible. Your young boys would probably have found baskets easier to carr...

Re: A portuguese cote armour/gambeson c1385
looks like the buttons are right on the edge of the right hand side, pretty typical for the period, with a plastron behind to ensure no gap. Its not really a primary defensive garment so doesn't need to be too chunky. I'm in that neck of the woods late July so might try and pop in. pics if possible ?
