[Ansteorra] Questions about Sumptuary and Armor (though not neccessarily related)

[Ashly "Ethne" Belford]

Greetings my fellow Ansteorrans!
   
  My name is Ethne Halldorsdottir and I am the main representitive and coordinator for the University of Oklahoma Students for Creative Anachronism (not officially SCA, but designed to pull in interested college students in a fun and learning atmosphere). I am beginning to brainstorm on ideas to help our kingdom grow. 
   
  One idea I had was to at some point teach a class or at the very least give information on how to recognize people's rank and title by the shiny things that some of us wear on our heads. I was wondering if there was a link on the Ansteorran site somewhere that might provide me with the information I seek. I personally know most of them (B&B, K&Q, P&P, Grant-level, counts, dukes, etc.) but I would like to double-check and learn some of the other ones (i.e. vicountess, viduke?) or any other not-so-often seen "hats". I plan on creating a sort of BINGO game with them. I would greatly appriciate any help.
   
   
  The other issue is unrelated and a bit more of the personal nature. Think Japanese-style armor for a moment. Would it still be legal if the plates that are laced together were of wax-hardened leather and not steel or kytex? I'm finally working on designing and getting together my armor and this is something that I wasn't sure if it would be legal or not. 
   
  Thanks for the help all around!
   
  YIS,
  Ethne
