thought i had; almost all these helmets dont have face protection. face protection means sacrificing vision. possibly in a large well trained army, the training and trust you have in your fellow soldier was enough to make up for the lack of vision, but in poor militias where they are not well trained, perhaps the visibility from not having face protection was worth it since you are more alone in a fight.

It's really fascinating learning about those specific little tailoring tricks that were used to give mail the necessary range of motion without making the armor extra baggy and thus heavier than desired. Thats been something I've wondered about since I came to the realization that mail can't function quite like fabric does because iron rings, in effect, won't stretch like a fiber weave will.

Even in modern armor, accidents are not uncommon.

appears to me that chainmail will be a trend again with all the muslim stabbings

@3:41 That helmet appeared in Nioh 2.

"Juicy arteries" words I'd never though I'd hear from a video like this.

really good detailed video! very helpful for figuring out how to draw armor as well i always see the too-long breastplate in video games and ofc it always looks a bit funny, cause to make it still move with the character, they just.. make the metal stretchy/bendy lmao and ofc trying to make a costume/cosplay with that too-long breastplate design is a mess; even if its flexible foam its still gonna be super uncomfortable

Weird, most fotos of sobatons on the internet are of sabatons that have the next piece underlaping the previous where as these are overlapping the previous This is also how I designed mine, an my gauntlets are the opposite, underlaping

It was really, really informative for me. Before this video i didn't understood why i don't see hinges on that armet's cheeks, how he opens. Thank you, m'lord, may the Lord watch over you

Talk about limited field of view….that is a big trade off in combat…..

its been a while and im assuming you wont be coming back so i would like to thank you for being such a consummate professional here on youtube, i knew going into each video that at the very least it would plunge me into a specific aspect of something and i would leave with a broader perspective which is invaluable here on youtube the land of clicks and "edu-tainment"

Great video! Fascinating and very informative!

I enjoy this so much! Amazing content, best wishes to you and your future projects! 🌻

Very interesting! I love these videos.

You are remarkably well spoken and I could kick myself for finding you years late!!! Time to binge watch and catch up!

Thank you this was very helpful.

This took the shine off of my Steele how do I get that shin back

Thank you for this video. Excellent. I was very curious about how the decorations were done and here I found the answers!

Great vid, I love your channel❤ Could you do more on the venetian bascinet? Why don't they have any breathing holes?

I was curious if visor locks were a thing. Not a lot of information on them on the internet that I can find. Thank you.

Thansk for sharing....is great...

These were not for fighting. You cannot see shit from that narrow slit. There are types not made for human facial features, also. These are for protection and from the time humans shared a common enemy,; an electrostatic charge build up of mother nature.

Update?

who in 2024?

Imagine using the beak of the visor and hit your enemies with it, that could been so funny

Please come back please

What would you say the weight of that is?

Did you make the arming cap yourself?

I miss this channel, I hope you’re doing well and come back to KZbin eventually!

I MISS YOU SO MUCH PLEASE COME BACK WE NEED YOU 😭😭😭

Oh this is lovely

How do you keep in shape, to be able to keep your armor fitted to you? What do you do?

Horse, the cars of old

It’s good to see you can get a full harness without any arming points on the gambeson. Figuring out how many arming points to get and where all those laces go has been a real sticking point for me, but it looks like most of the armor you have is self supporting or links up directly with the other plates.

You might find this of interest, my review of a reproduction Close Helm Sallet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXS1d3qsiJVrgaMsi=Ub5m1K1P4HxCMEXe

Ian, you haven't posted in a while, I hope you are doing well! You are my favourite historical youtuber, I hope you'll return to continue delivering quality content.

thank you for such a historic explanation! i appreciate it as a seamstress to understand how to replicate the construction and have it fit properly

What happened to Knyght Errant?

The knight set from elden is so historically accurate but also isn't too plain looking. It has a closed helm without breathing holes, plate armor with a blue gambeson underneath that sports a golden design along the fringes. The armor and helmet also have simple ornate engravings on them. Its my favorite set in elden ring!

The infantry breastplates are still incredible works of art in my opinion. The the fact they are polished metal means they were worth a good bit on their day, unless that polishing was done by some silly Victorians way later on.

i can't believe people really think every piece of real surviving armor has to be perfect, THEY WERE MADE IN THE 1400's CMON

Thanks for this amazing video! Im trying to make a set of medieval armor from cardboard and i was wondering this exact same thing. So close helmet is it

Si , con aceite mineral y talco para proteger el acero tanto la armadura y las espada de la humedad y la corrosión, ya que el armero que me hizo mi armadura y espadas me recomendó aceite mineral y talco y me ha conservado lo mio bien

Where did you purchase your dublit

This broad kettle helmet reminds me of the Portuguese Conquistadores while their Spanish rivals wore the Curved Morion Helmet.

🙌

Fantastic video, thanks. I was just beginning to draw up the pictures myself for the same purpose, and you saved me from doing a far worse job of it :)

It gives "Juggernaut" vibes

Why didn't they put breaths in the bever ?
