Last year I done some outfits for Lacazette (x) including casual and stage gear, I wanted to do some armour for him but undecided between buhurt or LARP. After spending more time learning how a set of armour work and look into a lot of fabulous manuscripts I decide jousting is his hobby now :))) 🦢🦢 He's not a professional jouster but he's well served in the sport, an intense opponent who loves wreaking people. He has logged thousands of hours in his armour, run thousands of joust courses, fought on foot and in the tourney. The Norwegian 🦇 The Belgian 🦢 The Arbëreshë 🐬 The Brit ❤️

Bevor:



Gorget:



(but a bevor is a type of gorget! yeah, but it's unique enough that it has its own name and function so we're splitting them up for the sake of a dumb post)
to start your research: Bevor, Gorget
#ive talked a big game about gorgets but the bevor has always been there for me#plus its almost always paired with a sallet and we all know how I feel about those#arms and armor#armor kink#knight kink#my post

Elements of a suit of armor (steel, gold, and copper alloy) for a light cavalryman, made in Milan, Italy, ca. 1510, but decorated with fluted surfaces "in the German fashion" (alla Tedesca). The band on the breastplate depicts the Virgin and Child in the center, flanked by St. Paul (right) and St. George (left). The gorget (collar) bears a representation of the Trinity.
There are two Latin inscriptions on the armor. The first, on the breastplate, reads CRISTVS RES (i.e. REX) VENIT IN PACE ET DEVS HOMO FACTVS ES: "Christ the King came in peace, and God was made human". The second, across the top of the backplate, is a slightly modified version of the Vulgate text of Luke 4:30: IESVS AVTEM TRANSIENS PERMEDIVM IL[L]ORVM IBAT ("But Jesus, passing through the midst of them, departed").
This suit of armor is now in the Arms and Armor collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY, USA. Photo credit: Metropolitan Museum of Art.

When she slid Oathkeeper from the ornate scabbard, Brienne’s breath caught in her throat. Black and red the ripples ran, deep within the steel. Valyrian steel, spell-forged. It was a sword fit for a hero. When she was small, her nurse had filled her ears with tales of valor, regaling her with the noble exploits of Ser Galladon of Morne, Florian the Fool, Prince Aemon the Dragonknight, and other champions. Each man bore a famous sword, and surely Oathkeeper belonged in their company, even if she herself did not. “You’ll be defending Ned Stark’s daughter with Ned Stark’s own steel,” Jaime had promised. (AFFC, Brienne I)
[George R. R. Martin] creates Valyrian steel and describes it so clearly that it resembles Damascene steel. […] The epithet derived from the name of Damascus, the capital city of Syria, and this kind of steel was used to manufacture swords in the Near East from antiquity through the early modern era. The swords had distinctive patterns of mottling reminiscent of flowing water. Their blades were legendary: tough, resistant to shattering, and capable of being honed to a razor-sharp edge. In the case of Eddard Stark’s sword Ice, however, Martin ensures that we know it was created using magic along with smithwork. Ice is clearly a sword of power, wielded by heroes. It fits a mythical concept of a sword for heroes. Heroes have special abilities; no ordinary warrior is capable of fighting with such a sword. The medieval equivalent would be a sword like Roland’s Durendal in the French epic La Chanson de Roland. Durendal is imbued with a very medieval power: it contains a holy relic. Thus Game of Thrones relates more strongly than usual to a past recognizable by historians, alluding both to the swords of crusaders and to those of medieval legendary figures. Martin is not in fact giving us either history or a reinvented Middle Ages; he is using aspects of medieval legend to create pageantry and drama. Ice is magical, like King Arthur’s Excalibur. (Gillian Polack, “Setting up Westeros: The Medievalesque World of Game of Thrones,” in Game of Thrones versus History: Written in Blood)
“Ser Galladon was a champion of such valor that the Maiden herself lost her heart to him. She gave him an enchanted sword as a token of her love. The Just Maid, it was called. No common sword could check her, nor any shield withstand her kiss. Ser Galladon bore the Just Maid proudly, but only thrice did he unsheathe her. He would not use the Maid against a mortal man, for she was so potent as to make any fight unfair.” (AFFC, Brienne IV)

Found these gorgeous gauntlets a while ago. It's refreshing that armor is still produced to this day, and while these are modernized; armor has been made since 500 BC to the 15th century and beyond.
