That looks like the parade at Texas Ren Faire. I was in that column. Small world, eh?

Well heck, man, wish I'd have known we were us, and I'd have bought you a glass of barbarian fermented grain product or some really old grape juice. Maybe next time?

Peroni, I understand the scale dimensions... are they really 28 gauge brass? At that thin, I guess they are left flat, or are they somehow dished a bit?

Also, do you have a picture of how they are fastened (guessing the little staples), and is it to a backing cloth or just to themselves?

Thanks,

Phillip

You can find all these questions in his marketplace topic on the shirt:

I've been able to wear his shirt one time. The scales are flat, connected to each neighbors by wire and each row is stitched to a fabric backing.
