Our classical Greek muscle armour is crafted from 18 gauge steel with a painted black finish and features hinged lynch pin style brass fastenings and decoration. It comes complete with separate decorated leather pteruges (apron). It is great for fancy dress and film/stage work and will fit up to around a 50” chest.

During the Tudor period, armour became more elaborately decorated, culminating in works of art such as the gilded Greenwich Armour worn by Henry VIII and his nobles.

Our Tudor Breastplate echoes the artwork shown on this armour with its etched period patterns and decorative brass rivets. It is constructed from 18 gauge steel and features buckled leather straps allowing it to be worn by people up to a 56 inch chest (subject to body shape).
