      Critical areas of the armor, like the cuirass/breastplate, always seemed to be thicker than other areas, like arms and legs, in the 14th or 15th or 16th centuries. So it would seem that certain parts of many 16th and 17th century armor harnesses were bullet proof, while other parts were not. Just as certain parts of a 15th century armor harness were arrow proof, while other parts were not.

    Fantastic video and armor! I have two questions:
    First, how limited is ankle mobility in greaves with attached sabatons like the one in this video? I know armor like this would be used mostly on horseback, but I'd imagine it'd get in the way of ankle mobility during foot combat, no?
    Second, is there more detailed footage of the inner elbow defense of this armor? I've always wondered how the lames interact with each other in that configuration.

    • @albertcollins6427
      @albertcollins6427  3 роки тому +17

      actually, I had no problem moving my ankle when using it, or at least it was nothing I noticed. maybe if I used it more often in foot combat. all parts of the sabaton is connected with sliding rivets, which gives the foot very good space to move also side so side.

      The doublet is short but in this video is attached with a removable skirt., the "övertog" the short overtrousers were not finished, when filming it. but the skirt is something you see in period illustration and artwork when used in tournaments. the cut of the doublet is exactly the same as Erik Stures, but with the addition of some padding and holes for lacing the arms, legs and mail. we also used silk and quilted it instead of attaching ribbons. Janet Arnold made some very nice studies and patterns for it in her book patterns of fashion.

    • @SteveMc2425
      @SteveMc2425 2 місяці тому +1

      ​@@loserjanik I guess, but in my opinion it might be easy because you wouldn't realy want a helmet that you cannot open by yourself specialy when you need to take breath more when tired.

      Albert Collins, the creator of this video made it. He is an extremely talented master armourer. If you want armour like this then either approach Albert himself or find another armourer. But armour of this kind must be properly fitted, will take years to make and will cost tens of thousands of pounds.

    Fantastic harness. I have one question, would he wear a mail skirt with that? For groins and such

    • @dioxideuniversal
      @dioxideuniversal 2 роки тому +1

      This harness was meant for riding. You can see that the inside of the thighs are also uncovered. Armoring these areas would restrict the wearer from maneuvering on horseback effectively, while providing little additional protection on horseback. A foot soldier would have armor in these areas--but they also would generally not be outfitted with sabatons, as the feet are an a highly impractical strike area on foot (hard to hit, leaves you wide open.) Meanwhile, sabatons were essential for cavalry because their feet are the closest target to infantry. Almost all functional full-body harnesses like these are for cavalry. This is also reflected in the design of the visor, which are two upwards-sweeping plates on the bottom of the face. Blows on horseback would overwhelmingly be coming from below--especially from pikes--and the visor is angled as such.

    All that effort to offer full protection, and yet the armorer left an obvious gap near the right shoulder?

    • @SteveMc2425
      @SteveMc2425 7 місяців тому +1

      It is intentional, it is so that the wearer can move his right arm more, this is because the right arm is typicaly the arm we use for holding the weapon, the left is more armored because it is more likely to get hit, also do not under estimate chain mail and the padding.

    • @micahbush5397
      @micahbush5397 Місяць тому

      ​@@SteveMc2425Still, one would think it would be fairly trivial to add a rondel to protect the right armpit without sacrificing mobility. Maille and padding may be fine against swords, but I wouldn't want to test them against a war hammer or the spike of a polearm.

    One question, were you able to breathe well inside the armor?

    • @Raptorman0205
      @Raptorman0205 2 роки тому +1

      I would venture to guess that Armet's breathability with the visor down is exceptionally poor given the lack of breaths. The only bit of air exchange the visor affords is through the oculars. Doesn't look like it's meant to be coupled with a wrapper plate though, which is most likely why the visor is more heavy duty.
