From the Principality Rapier Marshal

The Society rapier marshal has clarified a rule regarding armour. From here on, Under Armour and stretchy fabrics like that will not count towards your armour. Please ensure that your armour will pass the punch test without the inclusion of any stretchy fabrics.
You can read her statement here: www.sca-rapier-news.com/
Now really, no one believed that they'd let us get away with this for as long as we did (fabric that accompanies the weapon into the wound cannot be considered proof against that weapon wounding you). It was nice to wear light armour while it lasted, but no more. While I feel the SCA armour standard is unreasonable given the weapons we use in An Tir, I will be enforcing the rule as laid out by the SRM. Please ensure your armour is legal. There is no grace period for this - I will be enforcing the rule this weekend at MW Anniversary.
Sorry,
Thoré de Bethune
Principality Rapier Marshal.
