Churburg Early 15th Century Breastplate CH18, 16 Gauge steel

Churburg Early 15th Century Breastplate CH18, 16 Gauge steel

This beautiful 15th-century cuirass is inspired by an original Italian armour from the Churburg collection (item CH18), dated around 1410-1420. This new style of cuirass offered significantly more protection than the simpler globose breastplates typical of the 14th century, making it popular among knights and men-at-arms who could afford it. It also provided safer defence than the older coat of plates, thanks to its carefully designed shape that efficiently deflected most attacks. Pair it with one of our gambeson/arming doublet and chainmail shirts (sold separately) for an impressive ensemble in your next LARP or reenactment event!

This piece of armour is handcrafted from tough 1,6mm thick (16-gauge) mild steel and offers high adjustability with its multiple genuine leather straps.

• It is available in three sizes: M (chest 94-104 cm), L (chest 105-115 cm), and XL (chest 116-126 cm). Please measure yourself with the gambeson on.
