This beautiful 15th-century cuirass is inspired by an original Italian armor piece from the Churburg collection (item CH18), dated around 1410-1420. This new style of cuirass offered significantly more protection than the simpler globose breastplates typical of the 14th century, making it popular among knights and men-at-arms who could afford it. ..
It also provided safer defense than the older coat of plates, thanks to its carefully designed shape that efficiently deflected most attacks. Pair it with one of our gambeson/arming doublet and chainmail shirts (sold separately) for an impressive ensemble in your next LARP or reenactment event! ..
This piece of armor is handcrafted from tough 16-gauge mild steel and offers high adjustability with its multiple genuine leather straps. It is available in three sizes: medium (chest 94-104 cm), large (chest 105-115 cm), and extra-large (chest 116-126 cm). Please measure yourself with the gambeson on. The sizes weigh as follows: M- 8 Kg 80 grams, L- 8 kg 970 grams, and XL- 9 Kg 380 grams. ..
Note: This product is carefully coated with a layer of oil when packaged that acts as a temporary (protective) layer against corrosion (rust), which can easily be wiped off using any oil remover or even a dry cloth.
