15th Century Medieval Gorget with Bevor

Inspired by the evolving battlefield tactics of the late Middle Ages, this Medieval Bevor offers both historical accuracy and robust protection. As the need for face and throat defense intensified in the 15th century, the bevor became an essential piece of plate armor—typically worn with open-faced helms such as the sallet.

This faithfully recreated piece is made from 18 gauge mild steel, hand-shaped and polished to achieve a lustrous finish. The hinged upper plate can be lifted for ease of breathing, speech, or tactical advantage, while the ventilation holes mimic period-specific craftsmanship—allowing both airflow and a fearsome visual aesthetic.

Paired with adjustable leather straps and secure steel fittings, this bevor ensures a reliable fit for various builds. It fits comfortably over a padded arming doublet or chainmail, integrating seamlessly into any late medieval armor ensemble.

Whether worn for live steel practice, displayed in a historical collection, or featured in themed photo shoots and medieval gatherings, this bevor delivers both style and substance—a true tribute to knightly resilience.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Always dry thoroughly after use to prevent rust

• Apply a light coating of oil (such as machine oil) to preserve the steel

• Store in a dry place away from moisture or humidity

• Do not soak or wash with harsh chemicals – use a soft cloth for cleaning

• For prolonged storage, wrap in cotton or muslin to avoid scratches

NOTE:
This item is individually handmade, and slight variations in polish, symmetry, or size may be present.
