WHOA!

The tassets and breast/back are actually separate pieces!? I didn't know that. I don't think I've ever seen an actual harness like that before. Wow, I wonder where the idea / inspiration came from?

Seeing that armor just makes me so warm and fuzzy. Seeing it go on piece by piece, you can see the elegance of just how closely fitted the greaves are, and how form fitting every little bit of it is. The black with brass trim makes it that much more epicly-awesome-super-coolness.
