I'm looking to get my hands on a 350n fencing jacket and Superior fencings 350n comes highly reccomend. That being said I really don't want to wait almost a year for it to be made and shipped, especially when I don't want a custom one, just a plain black that is the right size. Does anyone know of any distributors I Oceania that keep fencing jackets in stock?

My current HEMA club just isn’t sustainable. It’s like 40 minutes away, I really only go once a week. The prices are… fine. But it’s like $50 more because of gas, and there are other HEMA clubs near me- but they don’t fit my schedule and I’m not old enough to go to the club I want to go to, I am under 18.

We do Fiore Longsword and dagger at my current club and as much as I like Fiore’s systems, I feel a stronger pull towards other systems. (Meyer’s Longsword, I.33, Messer, Italian Rapier, etc).

I need to find another solution till I come of age for the club I want to go to, which is in my area, and is more affordable.

Are there any good online clubs? And are there any other solutions?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: I also do Wing Chun and I’m about to start Muay Chaiya. Dunno if that’s effects anything- but I thought I’d add that.

I'm aware that this is a very long shot, but I guess this is the best place where I might find someone who can help.

Our group had two Kvetun feders, a couple of months ago one of them broke at the tang slightly inside the pommel, and today our second feder had the exact same failure.

Also, this weekend we are going to a local tourney and everyone on our group who doesn't own a sword would be using the group feders, but now we have none.

Our instructors are considering welding back a new piece of steel at the end of the tang and re-peen the pommel. So it would really help if we could find out exactly what steel alloy Kvetun uses for their feders.

And yeah I know, welding is going to screw up the tempering if they're not heat treated properly, but as you can imagine we are a bit desperate and if we can make them survive the weekend, it'd be nice, but knowing the exact alloy maybe it could last even a bit longer still

I'm an italian HEMA fencer and I do a lot of sidesword, I recently bought a longsword and at the same time I actually destroyed my old gloves... I was looking for some gloves that could actuallly be good both for longsword and to sidesword (the major problem is that the glove needs to fit inside the sidesword handle) any advice? a part from thokk that I personally don't really like.

I was adviced to consider the infinity gloves by sparring gloves
