GERMAN GOTHIC CUIRASS, XV CENTURY

What armor would you wear if you would be a XV century German knight?

Surely the Gothic armor!

Moreover, we already made a replica German Gothic armor. You can look at some of originals like Gothic cuirass, South Germany, XV century at The Cleveland museum of art or Cuirass in the Late Gothic Style, South German or Austrian, XV century at The Art Institute of Chicago.

Ribs and sharp shapes are typical for German armor in Gothic style of these times, being its distinguishing decor and coolest part. Such type of decoration was not just the fashion features, but helps to override direct blow and change sliding path of weapon. Moreover, goffer decoration allows you to significantly increase the strength and durability of the armor, without overweighting it.

In addition, the design with a waist-suppressed and flared at the bottom allows the fighter to maintain exceptional mobility in both foot and equestrian combat.

Thereby, such historically correct breastplate is a must-have of the knight’s wardrobe for SCA, HEMA, reenactment and LARP events, medieval festivals and stage performances.
