Product description

Cuirasses of this type were developed in the late Gothic style (1440–1500). The Gothic style was characterised by sharp, highly decorative shapes. The design follows Burgundian fashion, ending at the thighs in the manner of a fashionable doublet. Cuirasses of this style were often combined with chainmail voiders, a chainmail collar (standard or bishop's mantle), and a chainmail skirt (gousset). Arms and legs were fully armoured, and this style was paired with pointed sabatons, which mimicked the shape of poulaines from contemporary fashion.

Gothic armours were often worn with a sallet and bevor, although the kettle helm remained popular.

The cuirass features an integrated plackart, providing extra strength at the lower front and creating the characteristic central ridge. For enhanced mobility, it has been fitted with faulds (articulated plates) at the front and culets (articulated plates at the rear), permitting better leg movement—especially useful whilst riding. At the bottom of the faulds, the cuirass is equipped with tassets to provide additional protection for the upper thighs.
