Josh: If you drank enough of the beer before you put it on, probably you wouldn't notice.

Kate: To prevent chafeage? Or perhaps the manly beer gut is meant to spill low enough to protect it.

Debra: I have to admit that's a rather pleasing design, isn't it? :D

McKoala: *purrrrrs*

I have a friend who constructed himself full kits of historically accurate plate armor back when he was in SCA. I think the can tabs are more up my alley. :)
