Product description
The later Gothic style (1440–1500) was characterized by sharp, highly decorated forms. These armours followed Burgundian fashion, featuring a breastplate that ended high on the thighs, similar to how the fashionable doublet was worn. Instead of a full hauberk, warriors wore chainmail voiders and a chainmail skirt, combined with long, pointed sabatons. This type of armour was often paired with a sallet and bevor, though gorgets and kettle hats were also used. Gothic armours featured compact, ornamented shoulder defences with angular besagews. In this style, gauntlets were made with either articulated fingers or full mitten-style plates.
This wearable, fully articulated reconstruction of a 15th-century arm harness is crafted from 1.6 mm thick steel and blackened on the inside for improved corrosion resistance. It is designed to protect the forearms, elbows, upper arms, and shoulders. The harness consists of a couter or cowter (elbow guard), a two-piece (hinged) tubular vambrace for the forearm, a short tubular rerebrace for the upper arm, and a pauldron (also spelled pouldron or powldron) for the shoulder.
For proper mobility, all parts are connected by sliding plates or lames, held in place by strong leather straps riveted on the inside. A belt buckle is riveted to the upper edge of the pauldron, allowing the arm harness to be attached to a gambeson with braided cords or connected to other plate armour components with leather straps. Perfect for reenactment!
