Measurement
chart for historical armor
Please measure
incl. the underwear you plan to wear under the armor (tunica, chain mail
shirt, shoes, trousers, etc.) Not all measurements are necessary for all
armor types / parts. Try to choose only the relevant ones. In doubt please
fill in rather more than less data. We strongly recommend assistance of
another person! Try to stand straight, naturally relaxed (if not otherwise
requested). The measuring tape should be snug to the body, but do not
draw it too tight. You can send us the data via email (example: 1a-61cm,
1b-64cm, ...); or you can print out the chart and fill in the left column.
This chart you can send us via letter mail or via fax. |
