Joshua's armor - was Re: Ed's Mid 14th C. kit
Joshua Santana:
But if a Coat of Plates would be the better choice, I am perfectly fine with that!
Anshelm's Coat of Plates would the one I would go for.
Sir Edward:
Christian's harness in that photo is definitely leaning into the second half of the 14th. He's missing the haubergeon, arms, and spaulders in the photo. But the hourglass gaunts, globose breastplate, and houndskull visor are all in the second half of the century.
That doesn't rule out a coat of plates of course, but the breastplate become more popular at that point.
Joshua Santana:
Yep, I figured it was second half of 1400's. Oh well, it seems I will have to settle with Mid to Late 14th Century Plate.
But that good news is that I will be ordering the pieces from Anshelm Arms and Armor. If I am unable to, I will talk to Andre at Ice Falcon and see if he can make a similar suit (only with more historical accuracy than all of his other SCA pieces).
But that doesn't limit me to making an Early 14th century Kit with the Coat of Plates. Which I intend to start of with for now thanks to your advice along with Das Bill!
Sir Wolf:
me likey!

no no second half of 1400s is 1450s. remember 1400-1499 is 15th century. 1300 to 1399 is 14th century. a lot of the plate that we think of in the 14thc came into the 15thc in the beginning. say to 1415 era. then it drastically changes by 1450 into the full on white harnesses etc
