Author Topic: Pourpoints Charles I Member Member # 751 posted 07-27-2005 10:08 PM                Can the pourpoint be worn with a breastplate and minus the maille? I am having one made along with a breastplate and I am too poor to buy riveted maille. 14th century. -------------------- In every life some rain must fall...

You can physically wear it, but I have seen nothing to indictate it would be accurate to wear it without mail -------------------- Bob R.

I have a butted maille haubergeon I guess will suffice until I get some riveted. -------------------- In every life some rain must fall... Registered: Feb 2005  |  IP: Logged
