A Brief & Informal Explanation of My

- I figured I would upload a quick and super informal explanation of what basic armor is, what my armor is, and where to get some of it. Metatron and Shad, would love some more info, even corrections if I got some stuff wrong, if either of you happen to see this. :)

it’s taking me so long to get a full set of armor cuz it is expensive so thank you for letting me live vicariously through you in this video and see the whole kit and kaboodle! also I struggle w pronouncing all the weird french names too 😂
Haha glad I could help. 😀 I'm pretty sure I'll butcher most names in the future too 😂
I am in love with that Brigandine!
It's an awesome one! I'll be showing it off more specifically in a video soon. 😊
I absolutely love the video man! I found your channel through your shorts. Totally jealous of your amazing setup! Keep it going strong ^_^
Thanks for this video, great run-through of all the kit!
You're welcome!
This video is supremely helpful. All the sources are Enormously appreciated.
Glad it helped brother!
Thanks for making such an educational video really interesting and helpful
It was fun to do! Thank you too! 😊
Awesome dude, I've wanted something like this ever since I was a kid
Same, it's like a cool little part of a dream coming true. 😀
Like 9👍🏾 Awesome video brotha!
Looking strong and healthy💪🏼
Great armor explanation🏹🎽
Thanks man! A couple of yours have made me want to jump back on a skateboard more. 💪
Really nice explanation and information, thanks, hi from Holland! :) Subbed!
Nice to meet you, and thank you too! 😁
very cool, ty for taking the time
You bet!
Love the Missus little smiles and giggles, like "that's MY armored man, he whup your ass!" :)
She pretty proud of me I think anyways 😊
how is armor assessed in terms of the time period they came from? is there an easier way to tell when you order them? I was trying to go for a kettle helm with a more italian style armor pieces for everything else, is there a specific century i should aim for? just so i know what to look for
Really awesome!
Thank you! ☺️
I'm thinking of taking up buhurt/hmb I already have a suit of armour i use for reenacting. Where do you need it to be the thickest? WHere do you take the worst hits?
Also, do you prefer a small plate brig to a cuirass?
It's gotta have specific thickness depending on the type of steel. Easiest explanation is to find the IMCF rules, but for an example, titanium needs to be 1.5mm on the spine in the ACW league.
I'd say most painful is ribs and back, but gaps in shoulders and arms are more common.
I prefer a small plate brig for mobility. I'm going to address a lot of this in upcoming videos too!
Damn your figure is *Chef's kiss*
Thanks! 🙂
Thanks for the video!
Glad you liked it!
Hey I was wondering if you had an idea of how much for full kit weighs? Great video man thanks for postin.
It’s around $2,500. Give or take a couple hundred. That’s a very basic kit but it will get you started.
Just to add, I’ll do a video on this and some places I go. I’m a bit hesitant to publicly share it because you should really find a team first.
Thanks Grant
Sure thing!
I am super curious about buhurt and in switzerland (hi from switzerland) its popular, i want to get into it, ive seen cold rolled 14ga-10ga steel armor from steelmastery that looks great and are affordable and am curious if that would be enough or if i should get it in hardened 12ga-14ga steel ? What would you recommend ? As for the chest im going with a titanium brigandine with linen instead of cotton/wool and for the limbs i havent started looking at the items, what are your general recommendations ?
I don't deal with gauge too much, but I think that would be ok overall until you get into tournaments. I could argue a minimum of 1mm hardened steel for limbs and brig can be 1mm anything but sound should be 1.2 to 1.5mm. Helmet at least 2.5mm hardened. 3mm is much more comfortable though 😁
Also I don't think the American leagues have any teams in Switzerland, there are a few in England. But check out HMB (Historical Medieval Battle). I'd figured they're bound to have one. I'm getting back in the swing of things. Summer is time consuming for me, but I'll have a video up on some of this really soon too.
@@GrantTheKnight oh we have our own teams here in switzerland 😁 and thank you very much for all this help, the max ive seen for the armor on steel mastery is 2.5mm and the minimum is 1.0mm, i think they have only 2.0mm hardened steel though so im gonna go check
Check out Pavel, Aleksey Perebeynos, and Medieval Extreme too. They're good ones.
Are you ever worried about hand injurys with that type of gauntlet?
I've been ok, except when putting my hand out there to get hit. The injury I've had is on my palm, which is a technical mistake because I shouldn't be throwing my hand out. Other than that it's been fairly safe.
Lol, I'm going all slow and crap trying not to make too much noise getting your arm pieces out!
Hey I appreciate you help! 🫂
Nice.
That helmet is a close helm by the way, not an armet. Armets open from the sides, whereas close helms open from the front, although you didn't seem to need to open it at all and just slid it straight on.
I'm not very knowledgeable about modern tournaments and whatnot, but are there regulations regarding how much "extra" padding you need to be wearing underneath the metal?
I ask because the suits I always see people wearing in these things are so much larger and bulkier than the real suits of armor were.
The last helm has clips on the side, they were already opened and if you watch my wife closes and clips the sides in, I should have explained that part while it was going on. I am still learning about some of these armor pieces though so 🤷
On the modern rules I'm not 100% sure with HMB, but as far as I know there aren't rules on having too much. As long as it's completely concealed, you can have modern stuff underneath, and people definitely do; from motorcycle protective gear to QB shirts to hockey gear to knee braces and the like. I use a QB shirt because I've been gapped, but it's really tight fit. I've seen others use much more bulky things.
Close helm is an armet Close helm is a modern term
I'm definitely not an expert on it and am bound to mess it up. I rely on comments to fix my errors 😅
👍🏻
👍
What an absolute Chad
I changed my nickname in my team chat to Chad just for you. 🤣
How tall are you?
A the andrey Galevsky legs
I really like them. I can move really well, and others I've let borrow say the same.
What about protecting the man hood ?
Gotta wear a cup under there. Can get a codpiece too, some guys got one.
You need a squire to help you arm up
My wife is the camera woman and squire, hopefully my kid can be trusted soon and she can be a little free again.
Your wife is awesome.
She really is. Deals with all this crap 😂
Several things here.
First Don't buy from Armstreet until they get their head out of their ass. They were under new management back in 21 and had a ton of issues with custom orders.
Second Sabatons weren't really meant for fighting on foot. For safety yes wear them but English Knights who fought predominantly on foot did not.
Third your gambeson is of very poor design. This is why your mobility is restricted. Most of the armor your wearing is mid to late 14th to early 15th century. I'd suggest you get a Charles de blois purpoint with tie downs.
On your helmets armets are alot later in the 15th century. They typically weren't worn with brigantine which was being phased out. Further a French knight would be wearing a jupon over his chest armor.
Just to comment on a couple things:
Sabatons save my feet from the greaves, I prefer them. My gambeson is actually modified by me to give me more mobility, and I've changed my set up a bit more since then. I also wore the armet because I wanted to, and I still can't quite afford to get a full kit plus helmet when I already have a full kit and another helmet. Don't want to sell either as well.
Mars Attacks! What a disgusting mix
😅 yeah I can see that, bonus is I can fight and have one. That was step 1, working on getting pieces I want that match better and work for HMB now though.
Props to you for staying vigalent and stopping as soon as you realized an ingury could have occured 🫡 cheers
