www.hellenicarmors.gr/en/armors/ancient-greek/ Real greek armors

A bit of real history behind each bit of the “Thracian” costume. Top down! Helmet seems to be a Corinthian-style helmet used in Ancient Greece, but the cheek plates don't extend down far enough to cover his neck as they should. Also the nose cover is too wide, it would restrict his line of sight. This is probably the most iconic design of helmet of the ancient world, and was usually forged of a single lump of bronze. The cuirass (chest piece) is a hybrid of two different types of armour, those being “musculata” and “linothorax”. Musculata was the muscle-cuirass made usually of bronze from the late archaic period onward. Linothorax was a layered linen or possibly hardened leather armour used in the classical and Hellenistic period by Greek heavy infantry. I’m unaware of any archaeological finds of musculata that have shoulder plates like that, and none of them lace up on the side. The Linothorax does have shoulder plates, but they attach at a single point in the middle, and it does tie up at the sides. Interestingly, musculata armour is in fact sometimes found in Thracian graves. The bracers (arm piece). Adam called them gauntlets, but gauntlets are for the hands not the arms. Vambraces were a piece of arm armour used during the medieval period, but they were plate metal, and not period accurate to the Thracians. Bracers (like what he has) are a piece of archery equipment to protect the arm from the bowstring. The greaves (shin armour) are somewhat accurate. Greek hoplite infantry wore greaves, but they were basically long, shaped tubes of solid bronze, not leather with bronze plates (tied?) on them. The spear is a bit short for a Greek infantry spear, but a bit long for a javelin, though it would still work. The shield is a bit of a far cry from Thracians. It looks to be an upsized medieval jousting shield given that it has a lance rest, but those tended to be concave. It is approximately the size of a Pavise shield but those didn’t appear until the Late Medieval period. It could be a fantasy version of a Roman scutum except for the lance rest. The sword is a strange one because it’s a mix of a few different things. It’s a Roman gladius in the blade shape and guard style, but it lacks the pommel that gladii had, and it's fuller (the groove down the middle) is not found on a gladius. The scabbard is possibly the most accurate thing here, but it’s for a Greek xiphos sword, not a gladius. A Xiphos would hang from one string around the shoulder and had a horizontal bar at the end of the scabbard. Overall, mostly a fantasy costume, but cool nonetheless! Only a few things were actually debatably Thracian and the rest were a mix of different cultures and time periods. I have a costume made of an actual Thracian warrior and I’ll probably put up a video of it in the next few days if anyone wants to see a slightly less cool looking but more historical Thracian. Cheers!

It's actually pretty easy to make. One of my friends that finished design school had to have a full size puppetry puppet, from there, making an actual costume mannequin is just a matter of know how to stitch and glue the foam and that aerated material they use for pins and needles (kinda like old school summer veranda chairs material that doesn't give much about weather). He used a female stiff mannequin he bought used from a store (the old ones that have solid structure), from there he cut all the major joints and bought wooden balls that fit the various joints (eBay mostly, but a wood shop can churn them out with ease for ya). And following the classing doll jointed system he cut the balls to put structure inside and copper washers for ease of movement (remember, it's a puppet). Seriously, not counting the delivery time, and the slightly complicated part of getting the right washers, he finished work in one week. Frankly, the most complicated part was to figure out the wiring inside and the wiring outside for the show, but for a standing mannequin, that's easy, you just need to squeeze the joints just right so they move only when positioned.

Adam in the beginning he is basically going "getting packages is my fetish" love you man! :P

I love how adam is like a kid in a candy store when it comes to packages he gets.

0:40 , package says FRAGILE all over, Adam procceeds to throw it to the ground

Man that armor looks so great, I am loving the red leather (red is my favorite color) and all the wonderful detailing. Yet another thing I've seen on this channel that I'm immensely jealous of. Adam Savage is basically living all the dreams of all the nerds, at the same time. He has a truly beautiful passion about all his nerdy stuff too, and I just wish he would adopt me and let me play with his cool toys.

Adam really is like a kid on Christmas and it is so great to watch. It just warms my heart.

Hey Adam, do you have a CNC machine? I saw someone machining delrin with one and thought of the possibilities.

I was watching this video drooling over that shield and it made me remember that buried behind the furnace is a riot shield I made out of wood years ago in my highschool shop class, completely forgot it existed. My sudden desire for a big shield has been created and satisfied, thank you Adam. and yes I walked through my highschool with a homemade riot shield, got a lot of strange looks lol

I absolutely LOVE getting packages from Fed Ex, UPS and the USPS too!! I'm the shipper receiver where I work so whenever I send away for something, I have it shipped to my work. It always MAKES MY DAY when I get something FOR ME! and not just more tons of crap for the shop. Anyone remember George Carlin's funny skit, about "SENDING AWAY"?? And how much fun it is for little boys to "SEND AWAY"? I guess some of us will always stay little boys!

I don't know if Adam is buying all these costumes (which I could totally see Adam doing), or Prop Store of London is just sending you old costumes they couldn't sell to promote the company; but if the latter then tell them to send some female costumes for Simone to join in the fun with you.

Skall is great with modern reproductions, the metatron is more of a armor channel with knowledge about Japanese and roman armor and Matt from scola gladiatoria is great with antique swords and HEMA. All three have their own subject of which the know a lot. In this case, just for the armor, the metatron would be my best guess for info on this style of armor en the accuracy of it. But then again it's movie armor not a reproduction of a historical piece. As much as I flinch when I see a swordfight in a movie, I've been a HEMA practitioner for about 10 years now, a movie is about story telling and not a history lesson

Adam needs to build a mannequin army wearing every costume and prop he owns. So you'd have Thracians, next to terminators, all being led by Adam with Excalibur in a chewbaca costume

Adam's excitement is intoxicating...

i wish you would have went to starbucks dressed in that and filmed it haha that would be epic!

Bit of helpful advice, Adam: when armoring up, always start at the feet and work your way up. It's hard to bend with a cuirass or chest plate. If you've already got the feet, shins, knees, thighs, and waist done, then you don't have to worry about bending over anymore, and since armor is often layered, this will help ensure that the upper body armor will be seated properly.

I love how adam just has the box in his hands with fragile on it and he just throws it on the ground 😂😂😂

I like that Simone just popped in.

Just watching this made me so happy !!

Adam should really make a video that has all your costumes in it all of them not just from prop store but all you're incognito costumes to

Getting packages is always fun, its like Christmas every day since (at least for some of the things i order from amazon) it doesn't say whats in the box.

watching him open the box reminds me so much of the lamp scene from A Christmas Story.

Do y’all have a PO Box, because if Adam is so addicted to packages than you should do a fan mail show.

I have the production mold for the round lion head shield boss that wasn't used during production but it still produces awesome cast. I did a couple in cold cast bronze and have them hanging in our kitchen and gym.

They cut the part of the movie out when Spartacus calls his shield "Gorgeous and Fabulous" And the Crixus goes "Snap! you go boyfriend and with those sandals, you are killin' it."
