I would put it on and walk around my neighborhood regularly, getting ready to wear it around fair all day.

The peasants laughed at the knights in those days, however, when a knight was in need, they took what they wanted from those weak, distracted, downtrodden peasants. -Setchra
@@skullofserpent5727 No, actually after I learned everything I did about knights, I have an enormous dislike for their way of life. Armor is cool, but not necessarily the people who wore them.
Never thought about just falling on my soda cans with my armor, that would have been awesome to have done, lol. nooo, I wouldnt want to clean soda off that armor. lol
+Adam Hollowman I like plate armour how I like women... Hourglass waist, round chest, slim legs, elegantly formed, and fun to be in. I meant to say this harness looks fucking atrocious.
When I look at this it mostly reminds me of jousting armour. Mostly harder to move in and it weights a lot more. Would also explain the hook thingy on his breastplate since that gets used to hold up a knights lance.
The pauldrons look messy and the waist didn't look right from the rear, hard to tell if that's his shape or if there too much space in the back and in the armpits.
Gosh. I really don't want to sound demeaning, but that video is more a demonstration of why not to buy cheap, mass produced plate armour. The noise, the multitude of large gaps opening all over the armour at the slightest movement and the very fact that he has to catch his breath after doing practically nothing at all just speaks volumes. I'm not very keen on some of the particular features of the design itself. Apart from the fact, that it's not at all historical (which is totally forgivable) some of it just seems impractical, uncomfortable or even dangerous: The huge, strangely shaped pauldrons protect next to nothing despite their size. The breasplate extends too far down and is way too flat, it will catch a hammer or mace blow very easily and posibly cave in. The bevor floating above the breastplate tells me, that its articulation really doesn't work too well.
Let's not forget his sallet, which doesn't have a breastplate to accomodate it. My own Gothic armor fits well, and I got it in one purchase, rather than the probable piecemeal set we have here.
+Young Savage With full plate armour that's gonna be a problem. Plate armour needs to be shaped to the wearer individually. If you just buy standardized pieces off the Internet, it really doesn't matter how good the quality is, it's never gonna fit perfectly. At a minimum you should find an armourer online to whom you can send your precise measurements and have him make the armour according to those. It's still not as good as having it fitted in person, but it's acceptable. That's why a good suit of armour costs many thousands of dollars. There is just no way around having it made and fitted to your exact body. Of course with individual pieces of armour such as gauntlets and helmets as well as maille, it's not such a big problem and you can buy good quality stuff online.
+TheJetprox I'm sure Knights (who weren't all soldiers) as well as men at arms had varied characteristics. But I do agree somewhat, its the face I would pick for a movie in that period.
Seeing your enemy fully engulfed in metal like that that actually rattles and is impenetrable by most means while you yourself had hardened leather armor or barely any armor at all must have been the most horryfing and terribly pants-soiling sight for anyone to behold
@@johurt7913 actually not quite, i'm not educated enough on this subject but leather armor is certainly not a mythto some extent, here are some sources: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiled_leather ua-cam.com/video/LP8QB_7Jsdc/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Skallagrim
@@LanceAntisin100 If leather was used in armour, it wa the binding textile between lames in articulation or it was used as the dominant textile in armour such as a coat of plates or brigandine. Of course exceptions can be found of someone using leather as armour, but these remain just that: exceptions. There are, as far as I am aware from hours of research in this particular field, no examples of leather being used in any regular manner as a form of armour.
Of course the legs are important. Ive just reviewed some other vids' on youtube and I stand by what I said. He sounds like pots and pans rattling on a cart. There are other videos out there with people fighting in full armour and not rattling like this one. He needs to secure his kit better than this. I'm not getting into a flame war over this so if the replies are abusive I shall not be answering. Have your self a great day! I'm off longswording while the sun is shining.
The answer is the thickness of a plate, tap 2 empty cans of coke together it sounds like this. Tap 2 chisels together much thicker more dense sound. His armor does look very thin and probably prone to piercing, it's likely made to be displayable but not effective in actual combat.
Immediately I knew that this had to be made by the Mercenary's Tailor, - the poor shape of the Sallet's bowl and the bizarre articulation of the lames of the tail is a dead giveaway. With The Merc. Tailor you get what you pay for- essentially bulk armor made quickly and without much finesse, as evidenced by the preponderance of flat planes on the armor which are structurally weak and should be avoided at all cost when purchasing armor. I wouldn't recommend this for use- better suited at a Ren-Fair. Really problematic is the fact that there were so many adjustments made- there are ample methods of fitting armor to an individual- there are many resources that provide measuring diagrams that can be used to order armor, and would bypass some of the issues present. There are plenty of modern armorers who are capable of crafting armor reflective of the period- the Merc. Tailor was not one of them- there are reasons that some armories fall behind. If you're serious about armor, better to find another maker, especially if you're going to be fighting in it.
would the armor be that noisy? I've seen people wear knights armor and while it is clearly clanky, this guy sounds like he is banging on pots every step he makes.
Man, that is a sweet set of armour, you must be so proud, I've just had a crack at my first breastplate from 16 g mild steel, turned out too small, so I've made some new templates and lets start again, I've worked in all facets of metal fabrication and machining for 20 yrs and I find it challenging, good luck to all who tries this, I think its the most awesome thing someone could make, Cheers and thanks for sharing,Kimbo
I'm in the process of making a near-full suit of steel armor. Mine isn't as shiny and doesn't make that much noise (Only when I'm running in full charge with it). It doesn't feel as much of an encumbrance unless I'm trying to rapidly run for a steady amount of time. My melee weapon that goes with it though, doesn't need a lot of force or space to one-hit-kill anything with a skull and a brain :P
DΛNTE : South America... no sword fight at all. The only piece of armour this place saw is the chestplaste of the conquerors... Our culture at least in my region only show interest in firearms. And the economy its pretty crappy around there compared to USA so armorers dont ever bother moving to this places like some europeans did to north america.
Tucoco Tucoco my point exactly (but that doesnt mean u guys dont have anything). U guys have a couple teams in the Battle of the Nations, that means it is there. keep looking my friend. If u made a trip up to the states as well, say like an SCA event in Arizona or California, ull find someone who can make it for u 100%. Armor isnt cheap, but its a solid investment, itll be on this planet longer then u will, that is for sure. if u cant afford it like me, u can always do what i did and get a 55 gallon plastic drum usually used for food storage and export, and u can cut that into armor and make ur own. Its easy to learn arming from that plastic along with the proper research. After 6 years of fighting in and modifying my plastic armor, i figured out my favorite design and then made it out of leather and wax hardened it. i can tell u without a doubt, wax hardened leather armor is more then enough for sword combat.
Sorry to say but this armour is nothing like true medieval plate armour, you want an armourer to tailor the armour so that it fits perfectly. This piece in particular while it looks like plate armour represents pretty much none of the historical plate armours out there. Since you have a sallet I assume you were going for a gothic style but everything else just seems off, it's fantasy.
Dude, I hate to break the bad news to you but you are a rogue. And if you tried to fight in that plate suit you would be defeated by a clone of yourself using leather and a sabre. And that is because you can actually swing your weapon properly in leather. Your strike with the pike in that plate does not wound somebody in leather armour or even thick cloth. Therefore, you would be a lot better off in leather and using a sabre. And that is because you have the body weight of a rogue. In contrast, if you ate food until you were 160 kilograms in body weight over 3-6 years you would function in that plate armour. You would be harder to knock over. You would hit harder because you would be stronger and you would move faster in the armour because you would have stronger core and legs.
Your late to the party Bro, I don't even own the suit anymore, if you actually paid attention to the video, this is what I could afford at the time. It's still much more expensive then your modern average fabric clothing. This was and is a personal interest. I don't even own the Armor anymore. I upgraded, perhaps you should watch my actual recent video's on my channel and see just how invalid everything in your comments are. . Dude, chill out it's 2023, lay off telling people what they "should do" and go do something yo' dern self or continue to be immature, it's your life and your choice. Thanks for commenting and Much Love to you and Many Blessings or cursings, whatever you feel you deserve, you will get all of it X10.
***** You'd think so, but later in the video there's a few segments where he just lifts his shoulders and it still makes a bunch of noise. All those segmented metal plates rubbing and knocking up against each other can't not make a bunch of noise.
I'm assuming this is a mix of Milanese, gothic and other designs of armour from different periods? It explains the clanking, you can move sure, but if the armour isn't designed to fit together, you won't have full mobility. You also seem to have a great deal of weight on your shoulders which could be the cause for the loss of breath, in comparison to fitted matching armour, that said you probably have a lot more mobility than someone in a full set of mass produced anachronistic armour. I'm not an historian though, the armour looks sick :)

Gorget of helmet is pretty suck this one block shoulders and its not fixed to cuirass ..and cuirass is for cavarly ...typical, if you buy armor part by part ..or without informations :/
The armour looks terrible. The upper rerebraces are 14th century and don't match the late 15th century theme of the rest of the plates. The shoulders are a terrible interpretation of what early 16th century pauldrons should be (so they also don't match the rest), and you should never point them under the straps of the cuirass, that way they fall out of place like they did here. The back plate doesn't have a fauld.... but most of all, why would you strap the sallet OVER the stupid bevor?
yea my biological brother saw me one day and thought he could knock me down. I told him to charge and do his thing. When he ran into my armored body, he fell to the ground and got upset cause there was oil on his whitish shirt. lol, great memories, thanks for that.
I have a question I need something to help with the Armour around my neck because my armor cuts into me right around my neck is there something I can make or buy?
The mic recording this is set to high and sensitive. Just put headphones on to confirm it. You can hear a terrible buzz even when there is no movement from the guy.
Why would you want to make that moves where you take the weapon up? that is the best way to show all your not armored places, wouldn't it be better to use more compact movements?

+Lava Drink the katana is meant as a skill weapon thats why it takes a long time using it efficiently and it was made for cutting weak spots and breaking bones (thats how samurai in armor faught they had to disable them until they get a good stab or slice if they lost their pole arm, axe, or odachi)
all weapons require skill , thats not unique Though you are better than weebs that still isnt quite accurate , yes the katana was made for cutting weak spots and sometimes hitting with the bluntside to break bones , thats also the reason that wasnt their main weapon , because it wasnt powerfull enough to penetrate their mostly leather and wooden armour , neither long or versatile enough to be an effective weapon against someone with anything else than a sword There was an old saying from japan that went something like this "If you see a man with his sword drawn on the battlefield he has already lost his spear , axe and bow"

All that clanking can largely be avoided with oiling (metal will slide instead of crash into metal) and small layers of fabric in every joint.

I love the gothic helmets.
U can be have even more mobility, in armor, if its custom made to ur body. Buying armor off the internet usually doesn't produce any positive results.
There is a big problem when you arent from europe and cant travel.
Tucoco Tucoco
no its not, if there is sword fighting in ur country, there is armor
DΛNTE :
South America... no sword fight at all.
The only piece of armour this place saw is the chestplaste of the conquerors...
Our culture at least in my region only show interest in firearms.
And the economy its pretty crappy around there compared to USA so armorers dont ever bother moving to this places like some europeans did to north america.
Tucoco Tucoco my point exactly (but that doesnt mean u guys dont have anything). U guys have a couple teams in the Battle of the Nations, that means it is there. keep looking my friend.
If u made a trip up to the states as well, say like an SCA event in Arizona or California, ull find someone who can make it for u 100%. Armor isnt cheap, but its a solid investment, itll be on this planet longer then u will, that is for sure.
if u cant afford it like me, u can always do what i did and get a 55 gallon plastic drum usually used for food storage and export, and u can cut that into armor and make ur own. Its easy to learn arming from that plastic along with the proper research.
After 6 years of fighting in and modifying my plastic armor, i figured out my favorite design and then made it out of leather and wax hardened it. i can tell u without a doubt, wax hardened leather armor is more then enough for sword combat.
hey i don`t know if you see this. but this video is really helpful for a drawing i am making
That's awesomeness! If you care to share the results, my email is Setchra@yahoo.com
Thinking of making a suit of armour out of baked bean cans but by the sound of all that clanking i might give it a miss lol
those armors were probably like how we hear sirens today.
Tj Bernal You hear the clanging of that full plate armour, you get out of the way or be trampled by horses.
It really does function like a siren.

what a depressing backyard.
also
he's wearing jousting armour
not really suitable for fighting on foot with polearms.
why don't you have maille voiders
Sorry to say but this armour is nothing like true medieval plate armour, you want an armourer to tailor the armour so that it fits perfectly. This piece in particular while it looks like plate armour represents pretty much none of the historical plate armours out there. Since you have a sallet I assume you were going for a gothic style but everything else just seems off, it's fantasy.
It was an enjoyable fantasy, memories I would not change. I loved the experiences I was able to have, only because I actually had the gear.
You could hear them a mile away I guess..
More clang than a berserk 2016 anime series.
God medieval battles are noisy
Dude, I hate to break the bad news to you but you are a rogue. And if you tried to fight in that plate suit you would be defeated by a clone of yourself using leather and a sabre. And that is because you can actually swing your weapon properly in leather. Your strike with the pike in that plate does not wound somebody in leather armour or even thick cloth. Therefore, you would be a lot better off in leather and using a sabre. And that is because you have the body weight of a rogue. In contrast, if you ate food until you were 160 kilograms in body weight over 3-6 years you would function in that plate armour. You would be harder to knock over. You would hit harder because you would be stronger and you would move faster in the armour because you would have stronger core and legs.
Your late to the party Bro, I don't even own the suit anymore, if you actually paid attention to the video, this is what I could afford at the time. It's still much more expensive then your modern average fabric clothing. This was and is a personal interest. I don't even own the Armor anymore. I upgraded, perhaps you should watch my actual recent video's on my channel and see just how invalid everything in your comments are. . Dude, chill out it's 2023, lay off telling people what they "should do" and go do something yo' dern self or continue to be immature, it's your life and your choice. Thanks for commenting and Much Love to you and Many Blessings or cursings, whatever you feel you deserve, you will get all of it X10.
Lol, great thanks
In skyrim I can stealth in that.
And thats why you dont buy cheap armor.
How easily can you get up from lying on the ground? (film it please!)
There's a bunch of other plate armor vids on youtube you can watch that shows how easy it is to get up.
neighbors must love that sound..
The armor looks really cool. Now i'm wondering how noisy a duel between two knights could be...
***** Sabatons make a lot of noise too mate ;)
***** You'd think so, but later in the video there's a few segments where he just lifts his shoulders and it still makes a bunch of noise. All those segmented metal plates rubbing and knocking up against each other can't not make a bunch of noise.
@@metatronyt hello sir, i love watching you and Shad's vids.
I'm assuming this is a mix of Milanese, gothic and other designs of armour from different periods? It explains the clanking, you can move sure, but if the armour isn't designed to fit together, you won't have full mobility.
You also seem to have a great deal of weight on your shoulders which could be the cause for the loss of breath, in comparison to fitted matching armour, that said you probably have a lot more mobility than someone in a full set of mass produced anachronistic armour.
I'm not an historian though, the armour looks sick :)
thank you very much for your comments and yes even though it was made by the same guy, your initial paragraphs comments are pretty much accurate.
armor for stealth missions. do you wear earplugs or just coton in ears? nice video, thanks
Permission to enter the Armoury.
Permission Granted, Tis 2023, The Angels Liberty. Fellow warriors of Love's Might, Arm thyself and make they clatter, the band be playing, the ceremonies are happening, and the trumpets are sounding^^ 2023 we Angels Unite!
Open multiple tabs of this and get an idea of a clanking army :P
Reminds me of the scene in Garden State when the guy wakes up to the fully armored knight in the kitchen eaten cereal.
challenge of the day, try being stealthy while wearing the armor xD
Gorget of helmet is pretty suck this one block shoulders and its not fixed to cuirass ..and cuirass is for cavarly ...typical, if you buy armor part by part ..or without informations :/
Good reference material, thank you
haha, sorry m8 - so its a tournament or battle armour??? doesnt both... nonono, sorry, lots of work, homemade plates... nothing with original medieval
The armour looks terrible. The upper rerebraces are 14th century and don't match the late 15th century theme of the rest of the plates. The shoulders are a terrible interpretation of what early 16th century pauldrons should be (so they also don't match the rest), and you should never point them under the straps of the cuirass, that way they fall out of place like they did here. The back plate doesn't have a fauld.... but most of all, why would you strap the sallet OVER the stupid bevor?
I would not wanna accidentally walk in on this
yea my biological brother saw me one day and thought he could knock me down. I told him to charge and do his thing. When he ran into my armored body, he fell to the ground and got upset cause there was oil on his whitish shirt. lol, great memories, thanks for that.
Nice pole axe i made the same but your armor isn't at your fit and neither totally historical ^_^
its called a halberd describe them as a mix of a spear and a axe if you need to
well know i know i need to expand my knowledge on medieval weapons
@@MultiNecra there’s a difference.
I have a question I need something to help with the Armour around my neck because my armor cuts into me right around my neck is there something I can make or buy?
The mic recording this is set to high and sensitive. Just put headphones on to confirm it. You can hear a terrible buzz even when there is no movement from the guy.
Im sorry theres so many people who cant understand how freaking cool this is and how skilful you are,
Great armor! I really like the sallet and bevor.
Why would you want to make that moves where you take the weapon up? that is the best way to show all your not armored places, wouldn't it be better to use more compact movements?
Disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks...
I just imagine myself as a peasant facing a knight / soldier wearing this. This just commands respect.
I know armor is really noisy but it shouldn't be THAT noisy.
Will you just shut up. I want armor sounds. Which are good btw.
yes i agree this video is definitely *educational* what are you talking about
You sound like a busy kitchen and youre likely cooking under all that insulation.
Wow, this is awesome!!!
Thank you, While I had the armor I enjoyed it as much as I could. My mind just went on a splurge, and it got typed out here instead of FB. Not nesscirily directed at yourself though the name Dunedian mom struck a thought ---->The amount of Bells I currently and regularly wear equates into about the same volume of clanging, I just been given out Angel Wings.

when they asked for armor sound effects
The only thing in my mind the whole video was 'Clink clinck clinck'
Yeah....no stealthy skills on the battlefield with you haha
Can you do a moonwalk like michael jackson?
I had a child ask me if I could do a moonwalk about 2 months ago. Seems I do walk upon the Moon, though the eye's of these bodies will likely never see such things
@@Setchra just dont become a electrician :)
@@anthonydobija3669 lol, Now that's interesting and funny. My dad was an electrician. Though I'll stick by your advice, and follow in his steps mwahaha, oh, thats so good
It's loud! Not stealthy. I'd rather be a ninja XD
+Elmaso just how?
How? He has armor you don't.
Ryan Imeighteen Don't say a Katana would be a good weapon ether, if you try that weapon against armor, you have no chance.
+Lava Drink the katana is meant as a skill weapon thats why it takes a long time using it efficiently and it was made for cutting weak spots and breaking bones (thats how samurai in armor faught they had to disable them until they get a good stab or slice if they lost their pole arm, axe, or odachi)
all weapons require skill , thats not unique
Though you are better than weebs that still isnt quite accurate , yes the katana was made for cutting weak spots and sometimes hitting with the bluntside to break bones , thats also the reason that wasnt their main weapon , because it wasnt powerfull enough to penetrate their mostly leather and wooden armour , neither long or versatile enough to be an effective weapon against someone with anything else than a sword
There was an old saying from japan that went something like this "If you see a man with his sword drawn on the battlefield he has already lost his spear , axe and bow"
Anyone else going to the Kansas City Renaissance Festivals.
人間一人がプレートメイル着て動くだけでこの騒音。
プレートメイルだと隠密行動とか、奇襲は難しいだろうね。
Huh, sounds like when I gather all my cans for recycle.
disclaimer this kind of armor is not bulletproof
lol I can see why assassins didn't wear heavy plate armor.
Sounds like a bum digging in the garbage!!!!!
why is there a knife sticking out of the right breast...
You need better fitting armor and a squire to help put it on properly.
somthing about that harness seems really off.
somthing about that harness seems really off.
This is how men should actually dress
That is the coolest helmet i have seen in my life. Question: where does weight of that bevor fall upon mostly?
shoulders. It straps around the neck, however the primary impact is more weight on the shoulders, it never bothered my neck enough for me to notice a problem or weight upon the neck.
When you loot your armour from a dead knight
I HAVE LOTS OF CATFOOD TIN CAN. I THINK I'M GONNA MAKE ME SELF AN ARMOR
Very cool. Gold star.
Gloves seem to be the most awkward part of full plate so far.
ts really just the skirt causing all the noise.
This is more like a trash bin rather than armour...
Now those are what I call Brienne shoulders !
that armor was not fitted to you so this is all just a waste of time
I have been wondering where this video is linked so that it get's so many views. Though in my life and what I was able to experience, well I wanted to show what I, a normal joe could acquire and I wanted to share with others, that they may be aware of what they themselves may or may not be interested in. Happiness is NeveR a Waste of time, Much Love to everyone out there^^
is that as fast as you can go?
if it was plate armor would of sucked. Check out some videos of people actually fighting with it on, it does not actually hinder movement much.
Mikey Even without the armor.
I don't think you have the armor on tight enough.
where did you get that helmet? it looks really nice
