"A stout plate at the throat has saved more good men than all the luck in Christendom." Osric, Keeper of the Hearth & Forge
When stepping into the fray, your neck demands unyielding safeguarding. Formed from 18 gauge mild steel, this knightly gorget balances dependable resilience with the mobility required during spirited martial engagements. The steel shell is shaped into protective front and back sections with an integrated standing collar, warding against stray strikes whilst presenting a proper martial silhouette fit for any warrior of rank.
Sound craftsmanship extends beyond the hammer work to the harness fittings. Robust genuine leather straps and buckles secure the plates firmly about the shoulders and collar, preventing awkward shifting when raising a sword or bracing against a charge. Recognising the varied forms of fighters in the field, the articulated front and back plates can be adjusted to seat comfortably against most body shapes, eliminating the stiff, cumbersome hindrance typical of poorly tailored plate.
Moreover, this harness is constructed with campaign utility in mind. Fitted with an additional pair of sturdy leather straps upon the shoulders, it enables seamless suspension of your pauldrons directly to the gorget, uniting your upper body harness into a unified, battle-ready kit. Whether you are marching in full reenactment kit or clashing in LARP skirmishes, ensure the leather straps are cinched snugly over an arming doublet or gambeson to achieve balanced weight distribution and unrestricted head movement across the field.
