The 16th Century Italian Breastplate without Tasset Belts constitutes an important mutation in the evolutionary chain of the European armor. Italy was a center for the manufacture of high quality arms during the 1500s. Armorers began developing more mobile armor for soldiers, and for many the breastplate without tasset belts was the answer. Unlike previous ways which featured tassets suspended from belts this style concentrated on protecting only the upper torso and, hence, ease of movement and weight reduction. Fine for foot soldiers and officers requiring protection and agility to implement in the battle.
\nThis breastplate is made from mild steel and features rolled edges around sensitive areas for enhanced safety and comfort. The lack of tasset belts simplifies its design making it easier to wear over a gambeson or with other armor components. Stronger leather belts are used for shoulder and side adjustments ensuring a snug and customizable fit.
\nIt is available in four gauge options 20G , 18G , 16G and 14G giving buyers the choice between lighter and heavier protection. You can also choose between a dull finish for a battle worn look or a mirror polish for display or ceremonial use.
\nThis breastplate comes in sizes from XS to 2XL/3XL catering to a wide range of body types. It’s perfect for LARP historical reenactments collectors character costumes and film productions.
\nWith our lowest price guarantee this 16th century inspired piece offers exceptional value for enthusiasts seeking historically accurate and durable armor.
