Show your subarmalis!
Quote:**REVIVED THREAD!!** Tongue

Here's my effort, which I just finished last night. I'm working off Sander's design with a few modifications: It's 3 layers of wool sandwiched between 2 layers of linen on either side for the base layer. The shoulder doublers include another insert square of 3 wool and 2/2 linen, and that square is layered on a 'stair' or an additional 8 layers of wool, with another 2/2 layers of linen to remove the shoulder 'slope' as much as possible. (That's a total of 14 layers of wool and 12 layers of linen at it's thickest point - the quilting packs it down though, so it's not as bulky as you'd think). I'll post construction pics if you're really curious...

I opted for separate sewn-on lace-holes rather than the original design that was punched through the side. I figure if there's a catastrophic failure on the lacing system I'd rather just sew on a new lace hole rather than have to attempt to fix the entire piece. It's also quilted at 10cm. spacing rather than 5cm like in Sander's design because I think 10cm is adequate and his appears to be machine-stitched, whereas mine is 100% hand-stitched with linen thread (I built it to last). I forgot how much of a pain in the glutius it is to hand-quilt...The bonus is that I can always sew on pturges later if I want to be 'promoted' later on. 8+)

Hi Ryan,

Sander's a member of my group and I can tell you that the 5cm spaced quiting of his subarmalis was entirely handstiched, with linen thread. He's even crazier than you ;-)
