Social Status:

French Knight

Leg suspension:

Purpoint

Correct layers V your layer:

I have not made a suit in this style yet

Weapon Fitout:

SCA rule set compliant rattan long sword and rattan dagger

My Compromises:

To make this suit SCA legal would require two main compromises, at the gauntlets and at the neck. The guantlets appear to have separated fingers which is generally illegal in the SCA ruleset, and the ruleset has definite definitions where helmets must protect head to the jaw. The ruleset does not allow the jaw to be protected by the bevor.
