Modern replica of brigandine – popular in Europe small plate armor. You can also see a helmet and mittens that combine plate armor and chain mail. This red brigandine looks very noble.

Modern replica of medieval helmet with detachable aventail. It even has the eyebrows and shaped nose guard. This helmet is used for historical reconstruction battles – that’s why it’s so beaten.

Authentic medieval armor of a knight. It's from circa 1555-1560. Unfortunately, this armor is only partial, it doesn't even have the leg parts and gauntlets are damaged. But look how elaborate this armor is.

Authentic buff coat – leather under armor of warriors. Thick leather serves as additional protection, under the metal armor.

Medieval warrior armor made from leather. It is called “cuir bouillis”, also known as “boiled leather”. It was very thick and protected the knight somewhat from arrows and daggers, but a good sword could cut through such armor easily.

Wonderful Belgian helmet from about 1575. The style was inspired by French helmets. From The Met.

Lovely bascinet helmet from around 1375-1425, possibly French. The helmet is made from steel and has a cute shape, like a child’s hood. There are even holes at the ears so that the warrior hears what’s happening around him. From The Met Museum.
