Making a General Greek greaves
#31
Looks far better than most (if not all) other off-the-shelf greaves. They seem to fit way better than the DSC pair I bought a while back. Will these be available in bronze as well as brass? Thanks for the additional photos.

A bronze option would be welcome.

Those look quite good.
As for made to fit skinny legs, well, they need to wrap around thicker legs too, or they will pop off. Problem with greaves is that re not really a one size fits all piece of kit.
But these look good.
Will there be any option for people to order made to measure, Gagan?

No- we are doing only brass- no bronze
No- no made to measure- we are not geared up for that type of production runs and quality controls.

I am glad these have been appreciated, and as always, will offer to first 10 pairs to members of cb and RAT.

Please let me know by pm or otherwise,nit u are interested, and I can send you a price quote.

Regards

Please get in touch with your local distributor.

Dear Bryon

I am sorry, it cannot be custom made and fitted. Even if I do, the expensie of shipping will kill us all. And then if there is a problem of fitting, we will not know what to do
