"A warrior who neglects his neck will find his days in the field cut short by a single ill-aimed thrust." Osric, Keeper of the Hearth & Forge
From the fourteenth century onward, no knight or man-at-arms rode into fray without guarding the vulnerable junction of throat and breast. This classic medieval gorget revives that essential martial harness, hammered by hand from dependable 18 or 20 gauge mild steel. It delivers the resilience required for stage skirmishes, LARP campaigns, and light combat, while maintaining historical lines.
Securing the plates is a harness of genuine leather straps, fitted with sturdy buckles and pre-punched holes. This allows you to adjust the plates over a quilted arming doublet or gambeson, keeping the steel seated firmly during strenuous footwork. Being individually hand-wrought, each collar displays subtle nuances in steel shaping and natural leather grain, marking it as the work of the hammer rather than an unfeeling machine.
Two traditional treatments are offered to match your station. The polished finish provides a radiant, mirror-bright sheen fit for tournament display or garrison parade, though it demands periodic oiling after use. For those seeking a grim, battle-worn demeanour with minimal upkeep, the blackened treatment offers a subdued, matte defence.
Care for this plate with practical discipline: wipe away dirt and moisture with a dry cloth after each muster, apply a light coat of oil to polished steel, and store the harness in a dry place out of direct sun.
