Product description

Cuirasses like this one originated in the Late Gothic style (1440-1500). The Gothic style was characterized by sharp, heavily decorated forms. The design of this type of cuirass follows Burgundian clothing fashion, where it ended at the thighs just like the fashionable doublet. Cuirasses like these were often combined with chainmail voiders, a chainmail collar (standard or bishop's mantle) and a chainmail skirt/gousset. The arms and legs were also fully armoured and this style was combined with pointed sabaton, which mimicked the shape of poulaines from clothing fashion.

Gothic armour was often worn in combination with a sallet and bevor, but the kettle hat also remained popular. This cuirass is equipped with an integrated plackart that provides extra rigidity to the bottom of the cuirass. This creates the characteristic rib in the middle of the cuirass. For extra freedom of movement, it features faulds (movable lamellae) at the front and culets (movable lamellae at the seat) at the back. This provides extra freedom of movement for the legs and is a very welcome addition while riding.

The armour is 1.2 mm thick so it is not suitable for reenactment battles. You can wear it as a costume, during LARP battles or display it as a decoration. You can then combine it as desired with a helmet and leg armor of your choice. The armour consists of different plates and is very flexible and comfortable to wear. You can adjust it to size with the leather straps.
