It is sized for a pretty large person. I am 6' 2" tall and weighed around 275 pounds in the pictures shown below. Strapped fully closed the armor is about 48 inches across the chest and slightly less than that across the belly. The straps will expand out approximately another 12 inches running the range from somewhere around a 46 inch chest out to about a 60 inch chest. This is armor for big boys. All of the other straps (on the greaves and what not) are left long, so I don't anticipate any problems with them fitting. The set includes the breastplate (front and back), 2 greaves (shin armor), 2 cuisses (thigh armor), 2 bracers (forearms), 2 pauldrons (shoulders) and a gorget (neck armor). This stuff is really heavy duty- I don't know the exact specs, but the leather is quite thick and the metal scales are very solid and overlap. The scales must be some sort of stainless material as I have never seen rust on them in the time I have owned it. I have worn the armor a total of three times. Twice to the ren faire where it got rave reviews and once to an sca event (that's where these pictures are from). It is essentially in new condition with a few very minor nicks or scratches on it. It has always been stored in my non smoking home. Okay, so why am I selling it... That's a really good question! I almost changed my mind when I saw the photos again, because it really looks badass!! The truth is it's real armor and pretty darn heavy to wear. I love wowing people at the faire, but I don't like to work that hard at it. I guarantee this is show stopper armor, but like all armor it is also a workout to walk around in it. Anyway, I've found myself mostly wearing my leather armor to the faire and really don't need armor I don't wear, so up for sale it goes.  This hasn't sold as a bid auction, so this will be the last time I'm listing it.  If you want it- make me a reasonable offer, otherwise I will keep it.  This is not a sales ploy.  This is the last time I'm listing it. I accept checks (will be held until they clear), money orders and credit cards through paypal. United states winners: Shipping costs are to be paid by the buyer and are set at $60.00 for insured UPS ground shipping. I will probably ship the armor in two separate packages due to the different shapes of the pieces involved. International orders are welcome as long as you are willing to pay whatever the additional shipping charges are (I expect they would be substanstial due to the weight) and are able to pay via paypal.
