I was not going to make any more gambesons this year. However, I want to raise money for the local GRTC Branch and I'm now making available the opportunity for two more sets. These are gambeson and tasset sets such as the green one Courtney wore in the TCSL Beginners tournament this year and the red one I wore in the Open last year. There is a picture at the end of this post of my one in Manchu Bannerman style. I also made the blue one Laoshi is wearing, but have improved since then. If you would like a set, I'm going to make only two this year, to help pay for the seminars. I hope no one is offended by this ad, since I'll actually make no profit from this venture, and all will go towards the strength of our school. Gambeson and tasset sets in this style take 150 hours to make so it might take a few months before you get the one you pay for. Here are the conditions:
Price - $560 USD. This includes made to order gambeson with matching tasset and sword bag as well as postage anywhere in the world. If one is ordered by an Australian, the price will lower to reflect postage.
First in first served.
Payment has to be up front to be useful for me.
This offer is only open for a few weeks. After that I will have found another way and will be back in non sewing mode.
Gambesons Anyone?

Re: Gambesons Anyone?
Tassets Only:
I'm also willing to make just the tasset for people who have a gambeson already. These would cost $100 USD for the tasset plus whatever it costs to mail it to you. You would have to mail me an exact colour match - either a small piece of material or a coloured piece of paper. Payment is upfront and this offer does not lapse after a few weeks. I can do them within a few weeks any time.

Re: Gambesons Anyone?
Both the gambeson and tasset sets have been claimed by quick buyers. I begin work on them tomorrow.
