Tis why I am working on documentation for viking lamellar armor before 
making it.  I don't want to be part of the duct tape brigade on the field.
But I want a reasonably period armor that I know existed.

Couple that with Cariadoc's boiled leather homework he shared online and I
 should be set.  With at least mostly period armor.  

Am I doing it to be authentic?  Yeah, I may even wear viking boots at
demos....looking into those too, one A&S hell project at a time.
(tho I can buy the same boots now as well ;-) ) 

And I need to learn how to sew it seems.
