Plate armor
Sir Edward:
Yeah, you're looking at coats of plates in the earlier periods. Brigs are pretty late.
Sir William:
Like the one I'm selling...ugh. lol
Sir Edward:
Well, it also depends on what part of the period. The coat of plates you're selling is appropriate for mid-14th. Earlier than that, and the plates were sewn into larger coats, like surcoats.
Sir William:
You know, Lloyd Clark mentioned something about making an armoured surcoat, which I thought sounded way cool. I really wanted a brig though, I just like the look of them. I think I might go that route anyway...I know it isn't anachronistic to the 14th C but since I'm not fighting and I'm not in the SCA, I can get away with it. The average lay person's not going to know the difference and it is they who are our main audience currently.
I know that's bad isn't it. lol
Sir Wolf:
illusion does make nice stuff, just wait time sometimes takes a while.
you would be ok with a brass edged helmet and not anything else.
as far the other topic, think of it this way. coats of plates = correnzas(sp) = brigs = etc. just like aketons = gambesons = jacks = jack of plates etc. there all different animals, some closer cousins to some than others. there is so much mix n match its crazy during the 14thc.
