Well, if we're playing by MyArmoury rules, then we must also remember to ignore the effigies and change the dates on all your extant peices!  ;D

LOL @ that

And they wonder why I won't give up any money to keep their site going; with SFI, they've gone gun-shy, with MyA they just decided it was their way.  That's it.

In an attempt to settle this once and for all.   :)

The MyArmory Rules are rules to be followed.  However I will stand on my original point that the possibility of wool gorgets in the 14th Century is there.  It is very practical to wear on underneath the aventail (unless if you are doing a padded aventail) for the protection of your windpipe.  Plus if yuo wish, add a simple metal gorget to add further protection like this one.

My comments regarding gorgets are in relation to a steel (or leather/steel) one. A wool gorget, I would just consider a tall standing collar, which I have seen on 14th century gambesons - though I can't remember if that's a modern addition for sake of convenience, or based off historical imagery.

And why the heck didn't you use the search funtion? This thread is meaningless because someone posted a thread that had the words "Historical" and "Gorget" in the title back in 2003! BANNED!
