Looking for leg armor

<< < (2/6) > >>

SirNathanQ:
If you're doing 15th century, lower legs weren't always armoured. Good way to get around the expensive greave problem  :P

Sir William:
Sir Wolf is giving you the upper end of the fighter's spectrum...full-on custom armor can cost as much as a car, but there's good munitions-class armor to be had.  I suggest talking to Allan Senefelder at The Mercenary's Tailor - check out his site:  http://www.merctailor.com

By the way, you can only get leg armor in pairs (as there was no real precedent, at least not medievally, in armoring only one leg) and you'll find that Allan's legs are well within your price range and a number of us here can vouch for his quality and workmanship.  I have had two pairs of his greaves, both under $100 and both very well fitting, if I might add- but it is entirely up to you.

Sir Matthew:
I, too, would recomend Merc Taylor. It might be beneficial to know your focused time period, though. If you are doing very early, Sabatons may not be period. You might also get away with just mail chausses, which aren't really any cheaper. While you are building your kit, I would focus on protecting the more vital areas: body, head, even arms. You can always add leg armor later.

Thorsteinn:
Also there is Anshelm Arms, Clang armoury, and Icefalcon Armoury, etc
