Product description
Cuirasses like this developed 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 stopped 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) a chainmail skirt/gousset. The arms and legs were also fully armored and this style was combined with pointed sabatons, which mimicked the shape of poulaines from clothing fashion.
Gothic harnesses were often worn in combination with a sallet and bevor, but the kettle hat also remained popular. This cuirass is fitted with an integrated plackart which 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 is fitted with 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 when horseback riding. At the bottom of the faulds, this cuirass is fitted with tassets which provide extra protection to the upper thighs.
