 | Junior Jackets & Breeches
Please note that our sizes (unlike most high street stores) refer to the actual chest and waist measurements in inches. It is therefore advised that you measure your chest or waist size before ordering (chest size is measured around the fullest part of the chest directly under the arms and waist size is measured just above the hips) rather than using your normal jacket or trouser size. Our new tailor has recently re-designed all of our clothing; it is now better cut to give you the room you need to move comfortably and freely while being well fitted to minimise target area. There are 5 ranges (more than any other manufacturer) so there is a style to suit every budget and ability. Because we manufacture all of our clothing at our London factory we can also provide a tailoring service. Extensions to arms and legs are free but may take a few weeks and jackets can be made to measure for a 30% surcharge (please call 0845 388 1832 for details). |

 | Junior Plastrons
Please note that the Underarm Protectors in the Junior section are all size 32" and will only fit with the 32" Junior jackets. For sizes 34" and 36" junior Jackets you will need a adult small. Plastrons are designed to help protect the fencer. The idea is that the seams of the plastron and the jacket don't match up. This is to help protect the clothes at the stitching where they are at their most vulnerable. CEN level 1 plastrons are obligatory for all UK children's competitions, and CEN Level 2 FIE approved plastrons are needed to compete in adult events, A-grades or International competitions." |

 | Junior Lame Jackets
The quality of lame clothing has become very variable over recent years, which is due to a proliferation of new manufacturers springing up in Eastern Europe. Some of these new manufacturers sell lame cloth at around half or even a quarter of the price per square meter of the more established producers. Many manufacturers to reduce the cost of their products use this cheap lame but the reduction in cost comes at a price. All of the new cloths tested at Leon Paul have been of inferior quality, they contain less steel threads in the weave and often the metallic elements are thicker making them less flexible and prone to breaking leaving dead spots on the clothing. After extensive testing we at Leon Paul have decided to stick with our tried and tested lame supplier to ensure that our products are of the highest possible quality. We also have a light weight range of lame jackets. |
