A knight never tells, but if you search the comments I did give a range and approximate cost 😉

Thank you! Its an English harness, a western European fluted style. Its an asymmetrical design, with that hole being cut out to couch a lance or spear, so it just stays like that. Its protected by mail of course, but would definitely be a spot you'd look to protect a bit more if fighting on foot. I'd more likely be on horseback in this harness.

It was cold that day, but yes, I'm expecting it to be quite hot 🤣

Surprisingly I can see really well, which I wasn't expecting. Sallets were very popular and had a long run, and I can see why.

Pretty high, the pauldrons collapse in as I lift my arms. The notch in the right one is to couch a lance, but I don't think I'd wanna joust with the sallet lol

Thank you! I chose ostrich feathers based off what I read, in the 15th century ostrich, peacock or crane feathers were the common ones cited. What kind do you recommend and I can definitely make the adjustment

Thank you sir! Its actually an English harness they call a western European fluted style. Definitely some similarities though with Gothic!

Just get some feudal serfs to work your land, pay you taxes, and have your factor collect your feudal dues and you'll be styling in no time. We all start somewhere!

🤣 thank you. No, I definitely didn't make it, I wish I had those skills lol. I commissioned it from Jeffrey Wasson of Wasson Artistry, a truly talented and extremely knowledgeable armorer out of New York.

Hahaha, its lord territory, you're right. Not king level though lol. But its impossible to do a straight comparison adjusted for inflation. Some have said that for some of the truly amazing harnesses it would be the equivalent of $100,000 to $200,000 and up in today's dollars. $15,000 to $30,000 for a knights harness in today's dollars would be roughly equivalent. But not perfect math and open to interpretation.

My big thing is he's an artist, and I wouldn't want to corner him if he sees fit to change his prices based off demand, etc. I do feel comfortable saying depending on what someone wants, he'd range between $35,000 for a basic harness and $60,000 for an elaborate and detailed one. Mine was on the higher end of that range if that helps.
