Mmm.
I buy a fair amount of armour. I have to say that the major issue in armour--after fit--is the armourer's eye. He has to have an artist's eye for both detail and basic form. Many do not. They use surface detail to cover for their failure to understand form. I would go to Manning Imperial, where Craig understands the forms deeply. This--well, doesn't do it for me.
One man's opinion. I'll pipe down.
