A Gothic knight is a terrifying opponent on a medieval battlefield, for he knows that most of his less well-equipped enemies can’t harm him a bit through his reliable gothic cuirass. But in the late middle ages, not all soldiers could afford a full suit of armour. So the easiest compromise often adopted by billmen, pikemen, light cavalry and mercenaries was to wear just a breastplate solidly strapped at the back instead of a full cuirass. Whatever the character you aim for, be sure our nice gothic breastplate will bring a nice touch of authenticity to it. Just pair it with one of our gambesons & some elegant Gothic pauldrons (sold separately), and you will get a fully functional combination for your next LARP or reenactment!

Our Gothic Cuirass is HANDCRAFTED from tough 16-gauge mild steel and is highly adjustable thanks to its multiple genuine leather straps buckled at the back. It is available in three sizes: medium (chest 94-104cm), large (chest 105-115cm) and extra-large (chest 116-126cm) (Measure yourself WITH gambeson).
