What are Those Chains on 14th Century Armor? 

I love how this video went straight to the point without wasting a single second

went here for drawing reference nice horse

I remember seeing this in some of your other videos and always wondered where it came from. And it solved my own question. You see on a lot of great helms this large cross near the lower end. I always thought it was abit of a risk to take just for abit of religious decoration. But now I know what it actually is. Now might I say what a fine motor powered steed you have. 👌🏻

this is a horse, change my mind

Nice video not a lot of people know this little peace of history regarding armor, also on a side note you may want find a way to tighten up the sleeves of your mail shirt because it seems to be a little lose wich not only adds extra weight do to having more rings but gives an opponent a prime target to thrust as weapon into. Edit: one possible solution is to have specially marked rings that you can run a piece of leather or string through to tighten it up, just an idea. Edit #2: now I have thought about it it wouldn't matter much if a peace of forearm protection was added which would overlap the sleeves thus solving the problem. Edit #3: ok final edit hopefully, I noticed also that the mail ends a little below you chin you may also want to add more rings so it ends right below you mouth to prevent a wepon forms geting in and stabbing the neck, second siching on padding on your coif / aventail thing would not only make it more comfortable but would also add an additional layer of protection.

Insightful. Glad I found Your channel.

That's a lot of horsepower!

I always thought the cross holes were just breathing holes that resembled the Cristian cross used by crusaders. TheMoreYouKnow

cool and this olso could be used for swords and shields I think......

that is actually a very period and fuctional looking suit you made yourself there!

Noice!

now we call it "dummy cord" where those of us who have the nasty habit of loosing gear you tie it to your vest, belt, helmet, or yourself with 550 cord

very good

Very good, but please make those maille sleaves longer. I fear for thy arms.

Ok, that explains with one chain. But I saw some that have up to six chains.
