Also John... when purchasing or making armor... you have to consider the size of the armor "OVER" any tunic or Subarmalis. You would be better off to consider what your impression is going to be and then work your way from your Tunic out. Tunic, Subarmalis, Armor.
Depending on your climate... that can make a difference too in the thickness of your Tunic, etc. Your armor has to fit over whatever you are wearing underneath. If you have a 48" chest... your armor has to be bigger then that. If you do not have your tunic and subarmalis... it is going to be difficult to get your proper size. To small is ALWAYS TOO SMALL. To big... and you can layer up a bit underneath. (Which is good for winter or colder months.
These are thoughts you need to plan through. Or it will cost you dearly. Take it from those who have been through the process you are embarking on. Don't be too anxious to purchase your equipment! Research the impression you desire to become. It would be good for you to check out established legion groups near you that can help you walk through this process. It is much better to learn from other people's mistakes. It will not cost you as much.
