Description
During the fifteenth century, as armor began to take center stage in war strategies, mercenaries, and infantry donned more protective gear than ever before. This simple breastplate is a prime example of what was worn on the battlefield during this period - often combined with arms or mittens over gambeson and tabards – giving those warriors an extra layer of protection needed for survival.

• Made of 1.6mm steel; thickness may vary due to the handcrafted methods
• Steel is untreated but can be protected with mineral or synthetic oil if desired
• Has a satin finish so its surface will be slightly reflective
• One size which can be adapted to fit several sizes
• Length from the neck to the end of the item is approximately 45cm

Generally good quality kit

The breastplate itself is good quality. The extra straps and buckles mentioned in the listing were not included. This minor omission was easily remedied by a visit to the local haberdashery

Good for Rec/HEMA

16ga makes the breastplate useful for light technical fencing when using half armor. Also looks good as a peice of armor itself and is easy to wear over mail/and or gambeson. Fits like a ready arms piece(like it is) and might have some discomfort around shoulders or girth of chest.

In der Mitte der Brust, wo die Schweißnaht ist, ist es schon etwas zerkratzt, der Rest ist aber sehr gut poliert. Riemen aus Leder, sehr gut!
