Italian Gothic Armor Kit

Italian Gothic Armor Kit

Gothic armor arms, pauldrons, legs set

The armour of the late 15th century was dominated by the Gotischer Plattenpanzer or German Gothic-style. It featured elongated curves, flutings, and strengthening ridges, provided natural deflection from arrows and weapon strikes, and further advanced the model as fashion. The Gothic armour, created in what would become Germany, greatly influenced the armor manufacturing both in Italy and England, with their own individual takes on the style.

At ArmStreet, we have always had a love for the “Alla Tedesca” (German-style) Italian armour created in the late 15th Century. While it has the large couter and poleyn fans and large, fluted rear fans of the pauldrons, all indicative of Gothic armour from the “middle” of the period, the Italian fluting emphasized larger, smoother lines and ridges, giving an overall “cleaner” look, valued by so many collectors.

We also off this kit in 2mm or 16ga stainless steel for only $200 more.

IMPORTANT: To fit correctly and prevent injury, a suit of armour must be accurately built to the measurements of the person wearing it. PLEASE take all measurements over either the gambeson or under-padding you are planning to wear with this armour. The sole exception is for persons buying armour and padding together, ArmStreet will then make the proper size adjustments for the armour based on the measurements provided for the padding. For size measurements for sabatons, please send the actual measurements of the footwear you plan to wear under them.
