Dr. Tobias Capwell, arms and armor curator at the Wallace Collection in London, gave a talk at Orange Coast College in Oct. 2014 to an audience of HEMA enthusiasts and medieval reenactors. The subject was how understanding the design and function of real medieval plate armor can help someone build their own suit of armor in a more historically accurate and properly functional way. Dr. Capwell's talk included plenty of details from his own experience designing and overseeing the creation of three of his own outstanding armors.

Wouldn't the skirt of plates be considered tassets or am I completely misunderstanding that term?
@MartinhoRamos1990
@MartinhoRamos1990 7 лет назад
Aglara Andune a skirt of plates is called a fauld, on which tassets are straped to. in the 16th century tassets turn from solid plates hanging from the fauld to articulated lames themselves, part of the fauld

That English armour is a thing if beauty! It looks so lean and quick unlike the Italian armour for fighting on horseback. A suitcase full of money is a nice thing, too, I guess.

For YT algorithm it doesn't matter if you thumb up or down. Only number or "votes" count. Thumb up or down only determines what videos YT will show you in recommended section. So for video maker it's always better to get thumb down than no vote at all. BTW Will i get golden shovel? :D

A very good lecture, I didn't think I was going to finish it but here I am. What I took from this besides the sheer technical skill of the armourers and Mr Capwell's profound knowledge on the subject and this might sound frivolous but it's not meant to be. Is if you were going to have a suit made you couldn't afford to gain or lose weight. If you're anything like me my weight changes on a weekly to monthly basis depending to what faze of my training I'm in or whether or not I've be not as rigorous with my diet as I should be. What fits me one week does not necessarily fit the next. Particularly round the torso, in this case I suppose a brigandine would give more flexibility. Good lecture by Mr Capwell, I shall look for more of his work.

I'm not sure how applicable it is to this era of armour, but I'm aware that some armours had buckling at the sides, for access - so you could let it out a bit. I imagine that that's something you could apply if you wanted armour but were concerned about body shape.

And drastically decrease maintenance. 50 men can share 12 helmets and not worry about one of them not whipping this morning's rain of. 59:20 there are only 5 kinds of medieval bridges along the camino de Santiago (from France) each river has mostly one model, Dating to within 50 years.

In those days the armorer did not work alone. There were people to finish the armor (platners) People to do the leather work. others still to decorate and line the armor. In the current day the modern armorer must wear many hats. This explains the time it takes the one man shop to get things done.

so was the British armour painted black?
@Dallaslass
@Dallaslass 8 лет назад
+Timothy Heimbach Black was a colour used by the elite - the process of blacking (& blueing) is a process of oxidation (like the Attic/Greek vases) and showed the observers that the wearer could afford for it to be done that way therefore a statement of wealth, power, prestige and magnificence. From my brief studies I know that Henry VIII's Tonlet was Black with Gold gilding but there are other examples of black armour elsewhere - check out the Wallace Collection.
@timothyheimbach3260
@timothyheimbach3260 8 лет назад
Thanks. I will. I was asking about his specific suit though; how did he make it black?

+Timothy Heimbach Hi not sure how Toby did his but this essay might help show you some techniques - I'm studying 16th Century armour decoration. www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/dect/hd_dect.htm
@mossbergmaniac1947
@mossbergmaniac1947 7 лет назад
Timothy Heimbach To blacken the steel (also known as blueing), all you need to do is slowly heat it up to a certain temperature, I used an oxy acetylene torch and just carefully heat the metal until it all turns a consistent color. Not sure if that's how they did it. It's not expensive to do at all so I doubt only the wealth would have blued armors.
@cutsrosescents4950
@cutsrosescents4950 7 лет назад
Gun blueing can be very iridescent depending on the piece. The more utilitarian the gun,no iridescence.

You know what might help entice more people to study medieval armor? If he released anything but super expensive coffe table books that become completely unavailable within a few years. Are entire pages of black really necessary to present his beloved topic adequately? Did he have to pose in the most badass looking armor imaginable?
