I think Harry explained that it wasn't that easy and was impressed by how strong Lea's workings were. Harry's spells were put on the coat to last for Months. Lea's spell lasted a day. I think there is a difference in what you can do in terms of power like that. The stronger the spell the shorter the duration.
Also, Harry doesn't have time or energy to waste during the books to put that kind of spell on his duster even though it maybe super useful.

I don't remember him losing his force rings either. At the end of Changes Harry takes a shower, gets dressed and then has a conversation with Murphy. He then goes back inside the boat, gets tired of waiting inside for Murphy, and goes back outside and gets shot. We don't know if he put the rings or bracelet back on. If Harry didn't put them back on then Murphy or perhaps Thomas has them. Harry had his amulet returned to him in Cold Days, so Mab should have returned the other items too. The only explanation for not returning them is if there is some iron in either the bracelet or rings. Perhaps that might interfere with the Winter Knights mantel or Mab considered anything with iron in it too risky for the Winter Knight to ware.
Another alternative; though not very likely, is that Thomas has Harry's rings and bracelet and he didn't have time to retrieve them in Cold Days. If these items are ever returned perhaps Harry will find his old tools just aren't powerful enough to deal with the new threats he will face. That would be a good reason for Harry to build another lab. Plus, he has to find a way to use Bonnie's knowledge and teach her at the same time. That should be interesting for us and frustrating for Harry. I believe Jim has said that Bonnie has all of Harry and Lash's knowledge but no context to understand it.

The most likely scenario I remember is that the bracelet could have been lost to lake Michigan, but even if someone held them for safe keeping, Harry's toys like the bracelet and rings need periodic maintenance which didn't take place while he was doing his time in the trench and rehabbing. Most opinions I've heard were that even if he'd had the physical pieces again, he may have had to start from scratch anyway. Which he hasn't had the tools/material to do. The current question is whether or not he will have had time to replace them in the roughly 6 weeks that take place between SG & PT.

Yup. Also worth noting that for all the instant Awesome of Lea's enchantment it would still be no match for a cheap Walmart box-cutter.

I wonder to what extent? Since she took the duster and transmographied (sp?) it in to the battle armor when the duster already had some inlayed protection against blades.

Interesting idea. It likely wouldnt be able to /increase/ it's capabilities, but I am curious if her changes would preserve the underlying enchantments or just over-right them. Susan's would be pure Fae magic so she'd be screwed.
