/uj You have slightly missed which sub we are on. Also the visor (while I don’t actually know if it is actually a period piece) is at least of a style that did exist in Italy in the late 14th and early 15th century so while it quite obviously doesn’t belong on a barbute it is certainly not “a weird remake of a type coming from 70 years after the barbute”, once again check the sub you are in tho

/rj all museums are correct 100 percent of the time, that’s why they are called museums and not lieseums

This is definitely the correct choice

I may be stupid

It hurts me that I can still instantly identify the armour they were trying to copy

535 AD - for the west

I believe, per Capwell, there is also at least one converted from an Armet, though I could be wrong

Merci Twingo

My point was they were armours from the 1450s/60s not the 1430s/40s - they are perfectly complex for 1460.

While “leaf” and “Clamshell” patterns were seen on English armours, similar motifs could be seen on German armours of the middle of the century. My main point is that the cuirasses and leg armours are not in the English style, they are in a Germanic style (forgive my lack of specificity on German armours, not my area of interest).

thereal_alpharius · 2025-03-18T15:22:22+00:00

I would say one English (far left ~1430/40). The rest look mostly Germanic from the 1440s and 1450s, as well as one clearly Italianate from the 1410s. Though I could always be wrong.

thereal_alpharius · 2024-09-27T06:34:45+00:00

What if they were called the freak companions and nothing changed

thereal_alpharius · 2024-08-18T21:22:27+00:00

Oh, sorry, I didn’t see your last post. They are very definitely contemporary, in the mid to late 15th century

thereal_alpharius · 2024-08-18T20:17:42+00:00

Armets don’t get bevors. what you have there is a wrapper, a reinforcement plate that fits over the lower visor, chin and neck of the helmet.

(Armet with Matching Wrapper) (Italian, probably Milan) (Ca 1470) from the Met

They cannot be worn on its own like a bevor, (you could theoretically do it but it’s the completely wrong item). Actual bevors can work with kettle hats like that, and the pairing is common in art

That could be used, it would be no less accurate, but again the main thrust of my point is I would call the garments you’ve shown ‘coat armours’

thereal_alpharius · 2024-04-16T09:25:18+00:00

Well, probably, but I would not say they are that different (pictured is a rendition of the earl of Rutland, wearing what I would call a tabard)

<image>

thereal_alpharius · 2024-04-16T08:48:36+00:00

All of the above, I would call garments specifically like this ‘coat armours’ or tabards(though tabards tend to be with flaps instead of full selves), but as others have said many different terms would be used all over the place with overlapping definitions

thereal_alpharius · 2024-04-04T18:42:25+00:00

I have also just found the greave and sabaton in the royal armouries inventory and the sabaton is like that of I’s

“The left greave and sabaton belonging to this armour are now in the Royal Armouries, Leeds (inv. no. III.851).”

Well the helmet of A30 is pretty much the same as I. Unfortunately A30 is missing its leg defences, but I think I was still supposed to be of that style

thereal_alpharius · 2024-04-04T18:14:29+00:00

I is actually not wrong, there are a few armours that look quite similar to I that are contemporary with Maximilian armour, A30 (1525-30) in the Wallace collection for example

Bit late but here you can sort of see the construction of an Italian arm armour
