I'm a modern-day medieval armourer - you can get quality, fully functional armor for tournament fighting in the $2000-$5000 range. Custom made, high quality harnesses (suits of armor) will run you anywhere from about $8000-$40000 depending on how intricate the decoration. Inexpensive starter armor off-the-shelf can be as little as $1200 for a complete kit. About $300 for the helmet, $300 for the torso, and $200 for gauntlets, legs, and arms. This is only slightly more than a high school kid's football gear, and is handmade 😉
@@Ragdoll00 that’s why I probed cause I was about to say. I’m going to Wasson to get a piece done to my exacting standards and let’s just say that’ll barely get you a helmet there
@@buttered__toast_2899 Ah yeah! All my gear is HMB gear made in Ukraine! It’s kinda like the fast food of armour to a degree, it’s good quality and custom made(depending which armourer) but reasonably cheap
The most important thing that everyone need to know... In my country plate armor could cost around $4500 roughly. It could cost millions of dollars if it was made of gold. But it's all modern prices. In past metal was much more expensive and hard to get. Knights and lords was medieval equivalent of modern millionaires
3 million dollars? No no no no. Super top quality European armor was no more then $150k in today's money at the very most. Armor became relatively cheaper due to extensive use of automatic machinery.
I also walk around in full armor, with weapons and all.I even make sure to have a couple of my boys with me so that we can form a pike formation if needed.
@@Adrien_bronerThis actually works rather well, because if you carry a sword with it during a lockdown, people will leave you the fuck alone. Now they'll want pictures, but for a brief bit, it could help
Hand fitted and hand made armour was quite expensive and often beyond the means of young knights or knights of lesser means . Knights were nobles but not all nobles were rich. There was a steady market in refurbished armour. Also a difference quality wise between a knights armour and a man at arms armour.
1. Chainmail was used before Rome became an empire, not from the 9th century. 2. Popularity of full plate armor ended not because of the cost, but because firearms made it much less useful. Still heavily armored riders where used even in 17th century (for example in English civil war or by the Polish army during war with Turkey - for example during famous battle of Vienna in 1683). Breastplate to protect chest was used by some cavalry units up to 19th century. After this mistakes I think there is no point to continue watching...
You must compare the full load and technology on todays special forces. The cost would much closer. Add a dirt bike and mission specific, and now it’s even.
Very good and accurate video if compared to what is made by other similar channels. I just have one correction, mail was already popular and the main kind of armor, since the Roman republic
Why the armopur of a Knight from a noble Familiy cost much more than a improted milanese Armour? Milanese Armour are very high regarded. These multiplications of price ar totally arbitrarily. Of course an Armour can be expensive and in the 16th and 17th century we know of really expensive. But the normal combat armour ist quite inexpensive. The sum of 8.000-40.000 $ ist realistic, the other sums aren't.
@@Adrien_broner lies man today we have better metalworking techniques, the metal used in those old armors isn't as pure of a steel. that means it has a high carbon content making it more brittle
@@Adrien_broner No, no, the steels we use today are of much higher quality than they were back then, but they weren't bad nessicarily. Fuck, a white armor from back then was around 2mm thick, and would've protected the hell out of you. It's all about that good ol' hardening.
in today's world that is true. the point of the video and why i searched it, is to find out how much in today's money a suit of armour would cost back in the middle ages. the point is to define just how much wealth was being poured into armour
@@lorddiethorn oh he was a king? Well I don’t know about you, but I don’t think kings had to worry about getting hit in the head with weapons…. Except for the English ones, our king’s were in the front lines a lot, which isn’t a flex, whenever the king is on the field (like at Agincourt for example) things have gone VERY bad. But regardless kings aren’t supposed to be fighting so it makes sense he’d have actual gold on his armour. If you actually want your armour to look super shiny and gold but you want to fight in it, you’d have it gilded.
that doesn't seem right considering you can buy steel off the shelf, better steel than any bloom steel they could have made then. Several thousand for some great craftsmanship sure, but millions? rediculous
Jesus died for you was buried and rose again on the third day according to the scriptures If you confess with your mouth Jesus is lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. Please repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior

Why you comparing medieval knights with today's ordinary soldery? Why not with generals? Are generals go to battlefield? I don't think so. They used uniforms just for parades and ego. Medieval knights didn't go into battlefield too. That's just made up story!
@koala cousins No, no, they didn't risk their lives, as your common history or fairy tale books and Hollywood movies said. :) They watched battles from a very distance. They participate in battles only at the end, like last punch, when enemies already in disarray. Not big risk. There was heavy cavalry, of course, but not that heavy as knights were, and they weren't knights at all. I met a British girl who was working phD on it. And there is much more other what is distorted for the public. Medieval knights were not heroes at all.
Pawnshop: I can give $30 for it! And I'm risking a lot by making this offer.

Do you know where I can buy a suit of armour?
@@anonymousanonymous3464 depends on which caliber of harness you want. Top shelf armour can cost as much as $50,000
So what you're saying is... Modern day armourers need a better business plan?
that's for today's world with modern metal fabrication methods though. of course it would be pennies to the dollar if you compare it like that
Where can I buy functional armor ?
3.5 million dollars armor has:
Attack Speed Increase by 35-41%
+171-187 Fire Damage
+256-341 Intelligence
+15-18% Life

Armourers were well respected for their craft. That craft not only included making armour but repairing it when necessary.
It's like 6000 usd for whole armor for one.
Yeah from ebay
You can buy modern and well made medieval armor today at cheapest 1.5k, most expensive around 5k.
No, that’s cheap stuff. A custom made suit of armor will cost between 10- 20 thousand.
You missed the point of the video
3 million dollars? No no no no. Super top quality European armor was no more then $150k in today's money at the very most.

3m sounds about right for the range for nobility. He said anything from 2000-3.5million. Same price range as cars today.
That’s some dope armor 👌🏼
Yas
Yeah
Though we live in an age of nuclear weapons and rapid-fire fire-arms, I'm of the opinion that a well-crafted suit of armor is still useful today.
I wear a set of armor everytime I go to the grocery store. Helps keep me protected against the virus.
Well of course. We equip soldiers and vehicles with armor more now than then.
@@Adrien_broner Nah fam. Me and the boys go to the store forming a viking period shield wall to protect all of us from Covis.

now i see why they liked to go to war so much lmao. the value of the armor and weapons of the enemy collected after was insane. wealth aplenty

This video sounds Millions, billion and trillion dollars.

That’s a lot of money 💰
It was gunpowder weapons that made plate phase out of use, not the cost of it
Both. Cheaper and easier to equip gunpowder toting soldiers vs expensive, life long training, leaders and nobles.
It’s not it’s the guns. If the gun was never created armor would not go out of style and armor is not that expensive
I'd take $3 million thanks
🤔 But there are sets alot of them for well under that cost
Those ain't legit.
