The Gothic style is characterized by sharp, highly decorative forms. The design of this type of breastplate follows Burgundian fashion, stopping at the thighs like a fashionable doublet. Such armor pieces were worn throughout Europe and were considered the best of their time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"404\" data-end=\"791\"\u003eBreastplates like this were often combined with chainmail voiders, a chainmail collar (standard or bishop’s mantle), and a chainmail skirt (gousset). Arms and legs were also fully armored, and this style was paired with pointed sabatons, which mimicked the shape of poulaines from contemporary fashion. Gothic armor was often worn with a sallet and bevor, though kettle hats also remained popular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"793\" data-end=\"1057\"\u003eThis breastplate features an integrated plackart, which provides extra strength at the bottom of the cuirass, creating the characteristic central ridge.
