These patterns are for authentic armour of the 14th and 15 centuries. I learned to make patterns from Master Will of Wiltshire and Master Valerius [the good and wise - were not that kind of household Valerius]. I have used their patterns and developed mores, since learning my trade in their shop from 1982-1985. On going discussion and experimentation has come from Master Talbot, Master Brion Thornbird, Sir Corwin Greyrider, Sir Daffad, Master Roberto, and [of course] Will and Val. I hope you find them useful.
