How to put on plate armor without help: wear a brigandine instead of a cuirass

Way more involved than throwing on my plate carrier. Armor sure has changed over the centuries.

Arguably it was more protective though (for the weapons of the time), imagine an arming gambeson of soft Kevlar and then all the armor plates being hard composite Kevlar plates? If you could figure out the logistics on how to make all that work without overheating, over burdening, and overworking the soldier you'd practically need a direct RPG hit to go down as just an infantryman.

@Average Guns for sure, but I would argue that protection has not really gone down per-say, rather it has changed from clothing articles to cover and concealment. Armor systems now are becoming less protective but more low profile so getting into prone positions or up close to cover is easier. The object has always been not to get hit (even in the ancient times) but the method of not getting hit has merely changed.

Yeah still missing my Rus and Viking kits. Teutonic has the best one yet for it.

Nice brigandine. A mail shirt over the jacket would add a good layer of protection.

"GERALT OF RIVIA, THE MIGHTY WITCHER!"

Neat. I have my entire arm harness, and upper body mail, attached to the gambeson via standard arming points. I arm as usual from feet up. Then I just put the top on, almost like a jacket. After than is laced up, I add a mail skit, and cuirass. The only time I need any help is on the cuirass. Now that I see you brigandine set up, I might ditch the cuirass. Lots of ideas.

Beautiful. Oh, and the video too, of course! ;)

I love Toussaint

It's an amazing suit of armor but I feel like it would look even more badass without the sure coat covering The Brigandine.

Nice!

I would love to see this guy put together a full bronze lorica squamata scale armor with maybe a bronze corinthian helmet, & bronze tipped spear & falcata sword.

This is nice info to learn lol

If you want to make the gauntlets more period appropriate, I think there are some makers who make mitten gauntlets designed for buhurt which are shaped/designed after late 14th century finger gauntlets :)

Ready for buhurt

It’s buhurt time ⚔️

all this is good, but it is desirable to give a description in the annotation - what is made of what, characteristics, weight...

The only way to defeat one of those, back then, was to let it be on the battlefield during an hot summer day.

Cool! Is it all handmade or did you order it?

Where did you get that gambenson harness that supports the leg armor? I NEED THAT MY BASIC BELT DOESNT WORK ON MY MAIL

Kind of a long story. So I wanted my own colors and coat of arms for my kit, something simple and using yellow and black. So I did some research on the rules of heraldic designs and came up with a fee concepts. One was 3 black mallets on a field of yellow representing myself and my brothers who are all craftsmen. Turns out that design exists in the Zurich Wappenrolle. So I used that as my source and tweaked the hammer shape to match. Not only did I end up with a coat of arms with personal meaning, but by dumb luck it turns out to be perfectly historical. I'll probably do a video on it at some point or a Q and A and show the pictures of my designs.
