Armour then : prevent death.

I always went by the rule of "If it's Kult of Athena, just walk away..."

For the cost barrier, I personally avoid plate armour entirely, preferring chainmail and more High Medieval equipment.

Glad I found your channel from the poleaxe video. I'm starting to collect my own late 15th c armor, and it's really nice having video resources to consult in addition to forums and visuals (especially as I'm not a historian, I'm a hobbyist.)

As a buhurt fighter the thing about people getting hurt more by their armor than the weapons is so true armor bites hurt

Is it required for an armourer to have long hair, but the beard may only be worn by a master armourer? Can you talk about the quirky policies in your guild?

Is polish armor often mistake or black armor?

Have you looked into modern fabrication methods? There's no reason for a helmet to cost $2000 if you had a factory making them at scale. What would it take to get that Indian factory to produce something that's actually high-quality. Or if you think that the market is too small to make it viable, how about moving your operation to India. They make for just as good apprentices but cost a fraction.

You emphasize how important it is for you to recreate authentic armour. Are you in ways limiting yourself to making armour that is too flawless? No hammer marks, everything evenly polished without any blemish. Is that the modern consumer expecting what he's familiar with from buying something in a store? Was medieval armour aesthetically perfect? And functionally, what's the proportion of armour that was worn and didn't fit well or didn't move as well? What do we know of armour quality grades? What about munitions armour when some king of England just filled up the tower of London?
