If acquiring a hoplite outfit for yourself is your idea of a good
time, you've come to the right page. We have painstakingly gathered
information from a variety of sources to provide you with a greater
immediate selection (we make no claims as to the currency of this
page, as the Web, by nature, is dynamic; however, we will endeavor
to keep this page as accurate as possible.)
If you know of an armourer we missed, please email us (email address
is at page bottom) ASAP and we'll update the necessary information.
Also, our scope is limited to armourers with an online presence,
so if you know of any places without webpages that produce Greek
wares, please let us know!

Although the pieces shown are manufactured,
I wouldn't be ashamed to own them at all. The Corinthian
helmet (IS1300) is especially well-formed, and the promise
of a crest in the future--considering the relatively low
price of $60 for a crest here--makes it a good choice
in my opinion.

Least expensive source of armour that I

from and the lowest prices around.

I believe all of the Greco/Roman contents
are manufactured. Items are similar to Blacksword's inventory,
but the prices are a bit higher.

Don't believe the example picture given
on the website. The finished product is much, much, much
nicer. I (Kevin Marshall) have a helmet from them w/red
crest, and Kevin Hendryx's entire panoply is made through
them. Great quality, just on the costly side.

Decent pricing for a custom-made cuirass,
but the lack of a bronze model is unfortunate.

No examples provided, but everything is
custom-made. Questionable product (muscled cuirasses are
apparently a tough product to make), moderately priced
.
