This 15th-century cuirass reproduction 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.
Made from 16-gauge mild steel, the breastplate offers 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 while wearing your gambeson, or anything else which you would normally wear underneath the breastplate.
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.
Price includes one breastplate. Other items and accessories available separately.
