Gothic Armor Knight Kit 

It doesn't appear to fit him well. When made custom i assume it fits better?

@@g-dub1553 yes.

Man’s missing his intricately detailed codpiece

the dark clown dafuq you mean protest

the dark clown more like good against protesters

@@sojjjer I'm pretty sure he meant *RIOTS*

Nay, he likely meant Pike-and-Shot warfare. (I would say "crusade" if only this level of armor existed during such times)

@@tigershark8867 STILL MORE EPIC THAN THOSE WEAPONS

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.

Give me a full plate armour and I'll do default Fortnite dance over your enemies graves

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.

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.

Still may have found its way onto some late 15th century harness.

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.

fading fire I’ll look into it. Cheers for the suggestion.

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”.

We're preparing a release of the next generation Paladin armour, hopefully it will be supplied with a video too

@@ArmstreetOfficial it never was...

What?

funny one xd

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

Model is wearing only stuff they produce and sell which is gambeson and armor. They dont offer mail in their shop.

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

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

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...

@@zainy_inc154 That and no pandemic bullshit

Same

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

No longer needed....well maybe just a little bit around the gaps.

@@ericodinaire5544 The mail in the joint openings, back of the legs and uhm ... rear and groin is essentially to an complete armor set.

Ya just a kick in the nuts and that knight will be crying like a baby

jesus good luck hes probably got a cup on

@@jesus-ck4el he has a codpiece.. so no.

Its a Christmas song dumb ass.

or a Zweihänder!

@@xboxprotogen95 Excellent! Make it one that is big enough to slay dragons

@@andrewk.l1887 😂yes!

@@xboxprotogen95 Gothic knights ought to be intimidating. Give this man a horse with plated armor and a lance as well.

or a war hammer

That's why you wouldn't attack the armour, you look for gaps in the plates and stab between them, video game armour might as well be paper.

@@bleachedink or hardened playdough

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.

I’m 6’3” and 260lbs and this armor fits me perfectly! I ordered a suit back in April and it has just arrived yesterday and I’m immensely happy with it so far! They take all of your measurements during the ordering process so it’s all made to fit!

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.

Good one
