15th Century Gothic Steel Breastplate Hand Forged 16 Gauge Armour with Adjustable Leather Straps

Description

Step into the refined elegance of Gothic armour with this 15th Century Steel Breastplate, crafted by hand using traditional forging methods. Fashioned from 16-gauge cold-rolled steel, it provides reliable torso protection while retaining mobility for extended wear.

The Gothic-style fluting isn’t just decorative, it reinforces the plate’s structure, strengthens deflection against strikes, and reduces weight without compromising durability. At the center, a fleur-de-lis motif embodies both knightly prestige and the armourer’s craftsmanship.

The interior of the Gothic Steel Breastplate is treated with a blackened anti-rust finish, while adjustable leather straps and steel buckles ensure a snug, secure fit whether worn over a gambeson or paired with a full harness.

Historically, Gothic armour represented the pinnacle of late medieval plate design, balancing protection, function, and style. This breastplate makes an excellent choice for HEMA training, reenactment combat, stage and film productions, or as a striking display piece in any medieval collection.

Care Instructions

• Wipe dry after each use to remove sweat, moisture, or fingerprints

• Lightly oil both exterior & interior surfaces periodically

• Store in a cool, dry place (wrapped in cloth or inside an armour bag)

• Avoid prolonged exposure to damp or humid conditions

• If wet, dry thoroughly before storage

Note 

Each Gothic Steel Breastplate is individually hand-forged by skilled armourers. Minor differences in fluting depth, shaping, or polish are natural and add to its authenticity.

A must-have for medieval combatants, collectors, and stage performers, this Gothic breastplate embodies the prestige of late medieval armour design.
