But, then, if we don't take account of the shape of a person, what is the point of re-enactment at all! To wear a seg that is not comfortable, and made to measure would be a total waste of resources!
It just takes the smallest of anomalies to make wearing this stuff a real pain. I know, as, without a padded scutum handle hole, the combination of arm pressing into top of girdle, and top of handle hole digging into hand, caused me to have nerve damage that lasted over amonth! I still have pain in the hand.
If it takes a bit of tailoring to do this, it should not be that big a deal.
After all Matt, if you made a suit that was confining for a soldier 2000 years ago, he would probably ask you to alter it untill he could march and fight in it. And then if you refused, ....... :wink: :lol:
