I've always wanted to play a knight at LARP, and I cannot make my own steel plate armor, so I decided to see if I could

put together a decent costume from other creators. I managed to put together this set from several sources keeping in mind my 2 constraints, which are that it needs to weigh as little as possible, and I need to keep a decent range of movement while wearing it. It took some research, but I am very happy with the result.

​

In the end, the only part by me is the leather harness to hold the pauldrons, the rest comes from these suppliers: cuirass and pauldrons: Stahlgilde; gambeson, gauntelets and greaves: Epic Armoury; belt: Wimmer Arts; skirt: Mytholon; sword: Calimacil.
