[MR] Mantlings, not Mantles.

[Beverly Robinson-Curry]

I think, perhaps, folks have missed a small point.

The mantles are a direct request from our Crown, as was outlined in Their
May Acorn letter.  I quote:

"We would like to encourage everyone to make Atlantian mantles to wear at
Pennsic to help show the unity of the kingdom, especially the fighters
taking the field.  <snip>  In this way, each person may still wear their
arms, but there is cohesiveness to the Atlantian Army."

This is not just for fighters, and the design is the desire of TRM's.  If
you have concerns about the practicality, then it should be addressed with
Them privately.  This isn't a design puzzle to be worked out here.

I concur that those mantles would potentially cause more difficulty than
they would bring benefits, and strongly urge the adoption of torses and
mantlings for helms as an alternative.

The torse and mantle has the added advantage of being visible at a greater
distance AND provides shade on helms.?
