 Armour

GAMBESON
 It was always possible to drive the point of a weapon through the rings of a mail shirt or shear it with a good cut. This often drove the damaged rings deep into the wound. Even if the blow didn't cut the mail, the blunt trauma alone was enough to break bone and damage internal organs. A thick, padded garment worn under a mail shirt greatly reduced the risk of these types of injuries. Our gambeson is of a type worn from the early middle ages well on through the Renaissance. Choose M, L or XL. Hangs approx. 32" and weighs 1 1/2 lbs. Black only. MR-100278  $95.00

MAIL GAUNTLETS
To protect the back of the hand, we have added mail on our black leather gauntlets and also placed slightly cupped steel lames all around the cuff. These gauntlets offer good protection to the hand, wrist and lower arm from a sword slash or draw cut. There's a pair much like these at the Art Institute of Chicago that are highly decorative, however we have left ours plain to keep the price down and to allow them to be historically correct from the Early Middle Ages well into the Renaissance. XS, S, M, L or XL. MR-300008    $75.00

Steel Gorget
This stylish knight's armour collar (gorget) wears well with our chainmail clothing and affords valuable protection to vulnerable areas of the neck and collarbone during swordplay and battles! Of course its beauty also makes it just the right accent to all armour collections.

Wearable Gothic Armour
There are no finer examples of armour design than that of Gothic styling.

Our full size wearable armour looks great on display; however, if you want a real feeling of gallantry, don your armour and set dansels hearts a flutter.

The visor is pierced with key-holes on both sides for good air flow during combat. The lower bevor section is split into two overlapping pieces that are hinged at the sides and hook together at the chin while the visor locks down firmly over it. Made from 16 gauge hammer hardened steel.
