Historical Inspiration
The Gothic Breastplate is inspired by the armor of 15th-century Europe, when German armorers turned plate into something close to art. Gothic armor was famous for its elegant fluting, pointed lines and graceful shape. These details weren’t just beautiful but they helped to strengthen the steel and deflect blows.
The Gothic Breastplate: Material and Features
This Gothic Medieval Cuirass is crafted from sturdy 16 gauge steel. The outside is polished to a bright, mirror-like shine, while the inside is painted black to help protect it from rust. Raised chevron flutes sweep across the chest, a fleur-de-lis accent crowns the front, and articulated lames at the waist allow freer movement. Genuine leather straps with steel buckles let you adjust the fit and fasten it securely. It arrives lightly oiled to protect the steel from rust during shipping and storage, so it’s ready to wear after a quick wipe.
