Product description

During most of their existence, the Templars relied on a chainmail shirt made of thousands of interlocking iron rings, worn over a padded gambeson and covered with the famous white surcoat with red cross. Toward the end of the Crusades, plate armor emerged: iron plates riveted to the inside of a leather or linen garment. The massive steel breastplate only became common around the mid-14th century, long after the order had been dissolved.

This breastplate combines that later plate form with Templar symbolism. It is handmade from steel, etched with medieval motifs and bears a Templar cross on the chest. Leather straps are attached to the bottom edge. This is the breastplate only, without a backplate.

A historically inspired piece for collectors and enthusiasts of medieval knightly orders.
