Practical 17th Cent Cavalry Kit Having found a source for a buff coat I plunged headlong into getting a kit for a period light horseman. Most of the major pieces you need are right here. This armor kit is almost too good a bargain to be taken seriously. Fact is it looks reasonably right for the period and for a 6foot 2in 200 pound person it fits well. The helmet is gigantic. I wear a 7 5/8 hat and this thing swallowed my head. Need to find a headliner for this and/or a very substantial arming cap. Also needs a chinstrap mod as it comes without any provision. It's still a great deal for a base kit.
