Please note:

In the Middle Ages, plate armour was usually customized to fit each individual. Here we offer a standardized size for men of average stature and a body-height of about 1.75 m to 1.80 m. The size can be somewhat adjusted thanks to the riveted straps with buckles, however we cannot guarantee a perfect fit with this type of armour.

To ensure that this armour is the right fit for you, please remember to take your measurements over your gambeson and/or any piece of clothing or chainmail you may plan to wear underneath!

The steel used here is not rust-proof and might show slight surface tarnishing in places. We recommend you to maintain plate armour on a regular basis, for example using Ballistol Universal Oil, which is ideally suited for steel care.
