I am a bit worried by the lack of overlap between the left pauldron and the cuirass. While the lower gap is covered by besagew, the upper one is unprotected and is traditionally a jouster’s favorite spot to hit as the lance can catch on to that part of the armor and deliver the full force.
This isn't jousting armor. This is combat armor. If it were jousing armor then the would make the elbow armor be big plates in fixed positions one hand would be for riding the other for holding the lance. The shoulder armor would also be different as the arm holding the lance would be less armored then the one holding the horses reins to ensure that the jouster can hold and use his lance properly. His tassests would also be at an outwars angle so it could protect the riders legs better whilst on horseback and make it comfortable for the rider. Or he would atleast have a shield on his shoulders. Not trying to be rude or anything just saying.
I think he was saying that if it's a favorite place for jousters to aim their lance, it's probably a favorite place for other people to aim a lance, spear, etc. I don't know either way of a gap that big is historically accurate, obviously it's a hard spot to protect without sacrificing mobility, but it still seems like the most vulnerable part of the armor.
You have your arming doublet which is padded and can have mail in the exposed parts or you could just have mail on underneath. Also remember that as someone (a knight) who has trained their entire life knows his weak spots and won't easily give them up. As would the other knight you would be fighting has similar spots.
I believe this armor is only for demonstration and is not custom fitter for the wearer in the video. When they customize it for you I believe it overlaps more.
You could just wear an arming doublet that has mail attached to the underarm and underneath the plate so you don't have to carry all that weight around
First, the word Chainmail is just sad. second you can Wear an arming Doublet with Attached Voiders yes but it isn´t historical inaccurate if someone wear a full mail Shirt, it was and is a choice of opinion really. The French had worn a Full Mail Shirt und they Full plate even in the late 15th century. Germans like 50 /50 and English did like the Voiders more.
@@RockmeHellsing the Italians wore a complete set of chainmail under their armor in the 15th century too. But I did not know the French did it. Cool fact big man.
@@RockmeHellsing Acting like someone using the common term chainmail when discussing it on a public space is a big issue if far sader. If you're going to educate people don't condescend them! It's just a great way of showing the scene is full of pretentious tools who get upset over petty crap.
I’m not 100% sure but that helmet is often wrongly associated with gothic armours and is actually a 16th century invention, otherwise, great craftsmanship.
I look for practicality and style when I’m looking for a harness for myself. Getting your own harness shouldn’t have to depend completely on historical accuracy as long as you love how it looks and functions. Personally, I would want a Gothic style, a bit less ornate than others but still complete with the obligatory fluting, but I’d also want a sallet with a visor heavily influenced by the Great Helm and the Frog Mouth designs, so no bevors for me. For that extra flair, I may also want darker armour, maybe a smoked chrome finish, to reinforce that “Black Paladin” look I’m going for.
@@lt.branwulfram4794 have you tried steel mastery? They for sure have at least 5 suits of super good looking armour all in differant styles and with the ability to blue or blacken the steel.
It looks to be a late transitional Sallet. Near to the end of 15th-century, sallets began a transformation into the shapes known as "transitional". This particular example looks to be based on a piece known as A72 from the Wallace Collection dated on 1520 and is attributed to have been manufactured in the north of Italy. It was likely used with a gorget without bevor and belonged to the collection of the Count of Nieuwerkerke, and acquired by Sir Richard Wallace in 1871. This style of sallet can be seen in the painting by Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc in his piece “Castles and Warfare in the Middle Ages”.
I love this armor. I’m realizing I know nothing about the footwear I should be wearing if I were to get armor. I like the look of higher calf boots, but idk if it would be a good idea to wear them or if I should go for lower shoes like these depicted. Would love advice or links to resources about this topic! Thanks in advance
This Armor on this men is so tight, i bet can not fit Mail in there and the Helmet looks just to tight as well. You have to be able to lift of put on the helmet yourself let me tell you. I am A Reeanctor (1400 Corazzina Plate, Bascinet or Kettle Hat, Hour Glass Gauntlets, full arms and Legs Partially Splinted, a Mail Haubergon and a Aventail) and when you have like 40degee Celsius out there You sometime have to lift you helmet Quick or put it on quick, this thing seems so squeeze his face and makes headaches.
After tax and shipping this suit cost me $7600 USD and I gotta say after looking at the other “suits” of armor I found online this is the only one I would buy again
Don’t know if it’s too late, but I actually ordered this set from them back in April and it has just arrived yesterday! I’m 6’3” and 260 lbs and my armor fits fantastic. They take all of your measurements while you place your order and it’s all made to fit! I’m very happy with how it’s turned out so far
Innacurately made. Was fitted for somebody not wearing maille which was always worn with the stuff. This is perfect for American larp as its all fantasy and not a lick of realism
Who's to say that this person specifically doesn't want mail? I am positive there were quite a few men who just passed on the mail because it is so dense and prefer the feeling without it on their gambeson
if you go on the site...about 6000 dollars....shouldnt be too hard to save up with lots of passion a decent well paying job(like 45000-50000 yearly) and fine conditions...
I think armors in video games and very weakened. There’s no way a tiny sword getting through that thick armor and kill a knight . You would need like a Polesrm or bardiche
Well, the same video games also have dragons spewing out lightning so I'm not very sure if a Protagonist with a tiny sword won't cut through this like butter.

It's not like cheap 420j or 440 stainless you'd see in silverware or Chinese-made knives and wall hanger swords. Not exactly sure what kind of stainless it is but it certainly stands up to abuse.
It weighs only about 40-50lbs and renders you nearly invulnerable against sharp, bladed weapons. Furthermore, the weight is so well distributed it won't slow you down much (especially if you are trained to use it and very physically fit as a knight would likely be). I think you are seriously overestimating how important protection is in battle. History shows that less armor (like what an 11th century knight would wear) or even no armor (such as Celtic warriors who would fight naked) was stomped out due to the power creep brought about by technological advances in both arms and armor (which is why knights of this era rarely if ever used shields and used larger, more powerful weapons like a poleaxe, crowsbeak, or warhammer. Weapons shifted from primarily slicing open flesh to cracking open cans.
I shall give a like to Sir Dabsalot.

You could just wear an arming doublet that has mail attached to the underarm and underneath the plate so you don't have to carry all that weight around
Xbox Protogen is right, however wearing chainmail underneath is more historically accurate when wearing Milanese armor.

Very impressive set! I follow your Instagram and love the work you do.
Why do you skip mail in the unexposed parts?
Model is wearing only stuff they produce and sell which is gambeson and armor. They dont offer mail in their shop.
Tho shall subscribe to arm street because it is the best RUclips channel in the lands
Damn I need one
Total weight with sword and jewellery?
How much for a full suit of armor like that? I know it varies, just an estimate of the average.
From about 15-20k usd and up to as much as you want it to look fancy.
This specific set is 6000 USD on their website not including shipping
