Medieval Cuirass – Authentic 14th Century Knight Armor Plate:

The medieval cuirass was a crucial element of armor used during the 14th and 15th centuries. As warfare evolved the need for stronger protection grew. In the early 14th century most warriors relied on chainmail and padded garments. However with the rise of powerful weapons like crossbows and swords armorers began crafting solid steel plates to protect vital areas especially the chest and back. This gave rise to the use of the cuirass metal torso armor that became increasingly common among knights and elite soldiers.

By the mid-14th century the cuirass became more refined. It typically featured two main parts a front plate (breastplate) and a back plate which were fastened together using strong leather straps and buckles. These straps allowed for flexibility and a better fit which was essential for mobility in battle. As armor design advanced into the 15th century cuirasses began to include rolled edges and fluting, which helped deflect blows and added structural strength.

Our Cuirass is crafted to reflect the designs of that historical period. It features rolled edges at sensitive areas to enhance protection and comfort. It is secured with strong leather belts to ensure a snug and adjustable fit. This makes it not only historically accurate but also highly functional for various uses.

The cuirass is made from durable mild steel and is available in several gauges: 20G , 18G , 16G and 14G allowing users to choose between lighter or heavier protection. It comes in either a dull finish for a traditional, battle worn appearance or a mirror polish for a more decorative look. Sizes range from XS to 2XL/3XL making it suitable for many body types.

This armor is perfect for live-action roleplay (LARP), historical events film productions , cosplay or as a collectible piece for enthusiasts. With a commitment to authenticity and quality we also offer a lowest price guarantee ensuring great value for this historically inspired piece.
