Medieval gorget with shoulder pads, S. XIV

Medieval gorget with shoulder pads with a design inspired by the models used during the 14th century. This wearable, articulated reconstruction of late medieval plate armor for the neck (gorget) and shoulders/upper arms (shoulders, sometimes spelled pouldrons or powldrons) is hand forged from 1. 6mm thick. The shoulder pads have steel rondels (so-called besagues or besagews) to protect the armpits. These rondels are attached to each shoulder pad with sturdy leather and rivets.

For proper freedom of movement, the sliding plates or slats of the shoulder pads are connected to each other by sturdy leather straps that are riveted on the inside. The shoulder parts are removable and close at the level of the upper arm with an adjustable leather strap and brass buckle for a comfortable and personalized fit.

Whether used for combat reenactment, LARP, stage, or cosplay, this battle-ready neck and shoulder armor will make your transformation into a proud and noble knight or warrior just perfect.
