Looking good, Jyrki!

Thanks guys! Yes, this a a squamata made by Al Hamdd in which the scales are arranged a bit looser.

Dux!
Seriously, a some kind of lower status officer, I guess.

Great Impression! I hope to get a Deurne Helmet as well this summer, I'd like to go to Castra Romana in a fancy-ass Late Roman outfit.
Where'd you get the greaves?

Thanks Evan! My greaves are modified Deepeeka ""Hippika Gymnasia" greaves (knee caps away etc.)...

Jyrki, did your last squamata shoulders 'settle' any after some wear?
Mine have the wing effect too.... :unsure:

Byron, it is difficult to say because I have used them so little. I think that in the end they just might, due to the softening of the leather. Here's two more pics:

You may already have said this, but does it close on the sides? Buckle straps? What holds the doubler on the body?

David, I suppose you mean the squamata? I have it open on both sides and it has holes in the leather rim which holds the strings which I use to tighten it. I am a kind of symmetry freak, I quess

Jyrki: I have OCD too, don't worry
Also, it seems to me, that the collar is intergrated with the torso. Funny, I've always thought, that it is a separate addition. Or are there two versions?

György, I think there are two versions available.

I don't wish to sound rude to Al Hamdd but much of their armour tends to forget that the human shoulders are not horizontal but slope downwards, in looking at this armour it is no where reaching the shoulders correctly and sticks up at the ends.
It would need to be opened at the shoulder seam and scales taken out to taper from outside edge towards the top near the neck this way it would lay down better and look smarter.

Brian, someone must have made a collar which sits differently on the shoulders of the wearer. It means that the scales are arranged In some other way. Anyone?
