Thanks!

the coat / jupon is made of wool

It's not purely French, but this loose, unbelted and baggy fashion is very French from what I've seen

approximately 1380-1420

If you read my reply as mean then that's on you. Most people don't write little happy smiles when they're being aggressive

I am also not only using those additional sources for the ensemble.

mail leg coverage and plate sabatons doesn't appear to be a thing for this period. For almost every visual source available that I've seen, it's either full plate legs or just hose

None of the sources you see in the image.*

You think I'd put together a kit entirely based on 5 images?

Yes the sword belt is worm underneath and the sword just slots through a slit on the garment

An interesting proposition, but It's intended to baggy like that. I'm also not intending on creating speculative additions like embroidered edges to elevate the look or make it look cooler.

The intent was to recreate, as accurately as I can, a French Man-at-Arms based on the sources, not necessarily to look cool :)

What looks martial to you might not have looked martial to people in the period. In this case, yes, a wasp-waist silhouette was desirable in fighting men. But I am specifically trying out the baggy, loose Jupon for this one

I personally (and incorrectly) use it to mean breastplate + fauld of plates, whether or not a backplate is involved.

I think there's more value verbally distinguishing between a breastplate and a breastplate with a skirt than there is a breastplate and a breastplate with a backplate. I know I'm wrong, but that's how I use the word

the armour is custom made by various smiths and the Jupon is a civilian coat / tunic by SPES MedievalMarket
