I browsed the internet and found a vendor that sells Lorica Hamatas at a very affordable price. But I'm not sure about the ones he sells are acceptable for reenactment. Please take a look and tell me what you guys think about the Hamata!
Well, the shoulder flaps look a little short, and it really doesn't need to have sleeves at all. But the big question is the rings--are they alternating rows of solid and riveted? If not, it's no bargain.
I think you can find one that's at least a little better, but you are the one who has to decide what is good enough, what can be fixed, and what is "worth it" to you! Oh, and if you plan to use this as a member of a group, get some advice from the group leader!
Vale,
Matthew
