So last weekend of TRF I got a chainmail shirt!
and MAN, THEY ARE HEAVY!
I was able to wear it for a few hours before it was just too sore, lol. But! I'm strength training to wear it longer.
The horrid, terrible, no good, very bad
Jedi husband DnD nerd Saracen that shares my house also got a warrior belt that same weekend. So, we are both very well equipped to fight over
the Holy Land Star Wars/Star Trek
I like the glitzy swords
but durable is good too. I got a new dagger last garf now to get a new frog for it 
I do want a glizty wallhanger sword, but I would feel too paranoid carrying it around at faire. Huzzah for the dagger! New shinies are delish!
