So I know it's on the site that should not be named, but there's some good info on it here

https://www.reddit.com/r/ArmsandArmor/comments/17g4pzh/why_did_knights_stop_wearing_surcoats_in_the/

Just fashion I am guessing. Knights still occaisionally had their armor painted from time to time as people still like color, but bare armor was just more in style.

Is that new? I've posted here so many times without the OC tag and never git removed before.

Basically a surcoat and my hood that I'd normally pair with the armor.

It wasn't until the late 14th-15th century and beyond that bare armor was the fashion.

Here's my kit before I bought the breastplate and leg harness, and also the helmet I intend to wear with this kit.

I am getting a plume holder installed and then I will paint it to match!

Thank you!

I don't believe I am a Dwarf, cousin of Gimli, and companion of Thorin OakenShield, who later perished in an attempt to reclaim Khazad Dum.

Jk. Thanks!

Possibly? I don't have access to 3d printing tho

I do not LARP or fight lol. I wear it to the renfest and use it for costuming for videos.

I can't imagine how much hassle it would be to make an entire shirt of 3d printed chainmail

I actually got everything you see here off medievalcollectibles.com. it's all been modified by me.

It's all steel.

I painted and weathered the armor using this technique that I learned from a friend.

They can lick my metal balls. Don't need no organization.

Lol.

Follow me my brother!

I would. I have a maille hauberk I used to wear with my crusader armor. Unfortunately due to a couple back injuries I got at work, I can't really wear that anymore.

Maybe I will!

Thank'ee kindly!

Done

Thank you! More coming soon-ish.

Thanks! Can't wait until I can paint my new helmet too. Gotta wait until I am done with the last few modifications though.

That's actually where I learned some of my process as well as my friend who showed me how to do this.

Honestly looking at it in person it looks so much better than this image.

I am definitely going to darken the low spots to make the relief show up better.
