We are on vacation for 2 weeks, starting tomorrow. No deliveries until late July. Only have Wisby D plates in stock. The kilbanion plate idea fell through. Not enough interest. Hope everyone is enjoying your summer.

My good friend Adam Brinsley has helped me get the Kilbanion plate going. Here is a couple pics of the most recent armoured Kilbanion suit he is making for himself. He uses thin gauge steel. We are very close to stocking these plates in T6 Aluminum. Let us know if you wanna get in on the first order.

OK everyone,
I need more confirmed interest for .062" thick, T6 aluminum Kilbanion plates if I am to inventory these. Looks like they will be $1.00 each. (Only have 500 kilbanion plates on pre-order currently.)
See thread below that describes these plates in detail.

If you want these please send me an IM here if you have interest in pre-ordering these.
Thx!

Thinking about starting a new line of plates. Kilbanion plates to be specific. I could get in steel or T6 aluminum. The price of both aluminum and steel has inflated significantly. I will add some pics of what the armored vest would look like using these plates. These would be very historically correct, in steel. If aluminum, not so much, but the plate design would still be historical. We are just a plate seller, and thus don't lace nor make full sets of armor. We have found that to be out of the buyers budget due to American hourly wage requirements.
So, is there much interest for these. I suspect the price per plate in T6 aluminum would be in the range of 85 cents to 1.00 USD. 20 gage steel would be approx. 1/2 that. They are bigger than any plate we have previously sold, so a vest would use a lot less plates.

Sending out gold anodized Wisby plates tomorrow.

Hello everyone. We need some advice. Sales were quite slow last year. We are restocking Wisby D plates because everyone loves them, and we can keep at a reasonable price. The Tombstone plates and squamata plates have not turned into a great seller, and we currently have zero tombs, and only about 2000 squamata left. The price of T6 aluminum, that we use for our plates, has gotten very expensive since the pandemic, and thus profit margins have diminished significantly. OR made the plates cost prohibitive as is the case with tombstones. So, we are asking you, Our Patrons, what type plates do you think would sell in the future besides D plates? What material? (BTW, we have checked pricing on softer aluminum, and its only pennies cheaper... per plate.)

Thanks for your insight, thoughts, and continued patronage!

Thx to everyone who bought Tombstone plates we only have 170 tombstones left.

Bunch of tombstones shipped today. Anyone else wanna deal on tombstones, 55 cents each. See post below for more details.

Early Xmas sale ! [Tombstones at 65 cents each have, as feared, not sold very well.I rasied prices due to T6 inflation....] Therefore its time for a sale. Our loss is your gain. Lets go back to 55 cents each for a tombstone plate. When inventory runs out, its very unlikely we will stock these ever again. Buyum while we gottum. Pic of my etched "iron-look" tombstone vest.

ALL SOLD !!!!!

This is me wearing my Wisby D plate lamellar vest at Pennsic 50. This vest was first laced and worn in 2007. You can see some minor wear (I actually like the way it shows the edge wear especially.) Pretty good annodized black for 16 years of fighting. Yes, it has seen a relace or 3. Just really liked the pic and wanted to boast!!!
