Padded Armour

[tlclark]

I have been using a thick piece of leather with heavily padded shoulders in this way for a couple of years. The main problem with it is that it tends to shift around while the armour is being donned and often has to be hauled (not necessarily successfully) back into position one the armour is on. This was the thing which spurred me on to start making a full torso linen and wool subarmalis over the off season. I was about half finished when this thread really took off and I decided to stop work and see what might be come up on RAT before continuing.

I find myself in the same position, every time I get close to cutting, something else comes up on this thread!

Well thanks for the info about the shoulder piece. I am thinking that although I like the wild patterns Tarbicus has been creating, I am trying to figure out how to simplify things.
