Gothic Cuirass (Back and Breastplates) - 18 gauge
Gothic Armour was a popular style of armour in England and Germany during the late 15th Century. It was influenced by the peaks and ridges of Gothic architecture and art of the period and by the 1480's it was considered to be the best armour in Europe. It was worn by knights and nobles on both sides in the Wars of the Roses where it afforded excellent protection against the arrow storms associated with the battles of this period.

Laced Gambeson - Natural - XL
This style of gambeson has leather thong closures and is crafted in heavy-duty padded canvas. It has good blow-absorbing properties when worn separately and provides superior protection from cuts when worn under mail or plate. This gambeson provides a good level of protection but is not as well padded as the GDFB equivalent. The armpits are open for extra manoeuvrability.
