Steel Breastplate Knight Armor Medieval Costume

Buying this stuff of Amazon can be hit or miss. I'm very happy with this piece. The design of the straps is quite clever that allows you to really get a nice fit. I didn't want a full back plate (too hot) but I wanted something and the kidney protectors are a great idea. As far as quality, the breastplate was very well constructed. Obviously it is a costume piece and probably won't stop a bodkin, but you aren't going to damage the thing through normal activity. The leather straps are thicc and high quality. My only complaint is that the rivets could use some sanding/grinding, but it doesn't really matter if you've got a gambeson or other thick garment underneath. The fit was pretty good over mail, but excellent over the quilted gambeson. The breastplate can be bent/contoured a bit if you need, but be careful because I could see the center of the collar area folding out if you put too much pressure on it. For the record I am 6'1" and ~190lbs and usually wear a 44A jacket. I'd say this piece was bang on for me, but the suspension system could easily accommodate someone a good bit bigger. Smaller people can add more padding and possibly a bit more contouring. Again, it's a smart design that makes it more adjustable than most breastplates.

A bit to expensive for what it is in my opinion. But it fits well and looks great

It arrived very quickly, and when I opened it up, it was carefully packed, even the straps had their own protective wrapping. Flawless, no damage at all. A sensible film of oil protected from oxidation, but all of that is neat—I tried it on. I slipped it on like a shirt, the edges were so well crafted that the bottom edge slid over my face without so much as an abrasion. It’s solid, sturdy, very well made and I can tell when I wear it over chain maille and likely a gambesson, it’ll ride solidly and unobstrictively, without limiting motion or breathing. This seller is impressing me with everything I buy here.

definately need a gambeson to prevent armor bite, other then that, i love it!

its light and comfortable to wear and also when i go to the toilet.

Extremely comfortable. Slightly oily when you get it, but otherwise it's an excellent addition to your LARP kit.

You can get this product in not knockoff quality from stahlgilde on Etsy. It costs 60 usd plus shipping from the Ukraine but you’ll still pay half this price
