    estoc 800N jacket....

    so im thinking of buying this jacket in the near future. ive heard good things, and a guy at my club recommended it, but i was wondering if swordmasters was the only place that sells them. they seem to be quite a bargain for <$200 when compared to the allstar/uhlmann/LP 800Ns.

    I saw one review in the reviews section, but im wondering if anyone else has any more specific info on say, the fit or durability of the jacket. im kind of a tall, slim guy and dont want lots of loose parts for those epee points to snag on. any info appreciated.


    oh one last thing, does anyone know offhand if the folks at swordmasters do name stencilling?

    I have this jacket. I'm 6'1" and 155lbs, so I'm rather thin. It's a very nice form-fitting jacket. Also has a nice, smooth materiel that lets points slide a bit.

    Did you have that custom tailored? If you're thin and it's already form fitting it might be a rather tight fit for others who aren't thin.

    Not custom tailored; the back hem has elastic and fits if you have some er... "closer target".

    Yeah, mine's from Sword Masters (and that's my review; shock, I think it has my real name!), and no, I don't know because I didn't ask for it; I sent it to Atlanta with a friend in October to get named.
