[Ponte Alto] armor strapping

[Kevin Maxson]

>Don't some folks also strap or lace the elbow cops right to
the gambeson? 
>I've seen lacings at the shoulders for the armor on the
upper arm or 
>shoulder. Is something for elbow cops ever used?

Absolutely!  Pointing your armor to your gambeson is period,
and very comfortable.  I don't point my elbows to my
gambeson because they're not heavy, but when I wear
pauldrons (shoulder armor) I definitely do.
