Chin up, Stand tall!

To speak with authority is one thing — to protect that voice in steel is another. The Landsknecht Gorget is a masterfully crafted piece of throat and collar armour, designed not only to defend the vulnerable neck and upper chest, but to frame the poise of a commander. Worn alone or as part of a full harness, it is the kind of piece that turns a soldier into a symbol.
Inspired by the bold silhouettes of 16th-century mercenary captains, the gorget features a clean bevor-style front plate that covers the clavicle and upper sternum with geometric clarity. At the neck, three articulated lames curve upward in a protective collar, moving smoothly with the head while guarding the throat from glancing blows and sudden strikes.
But the true strength of this design lies in its balance. A steel plate at the upper back mirrors the front and serves a dual purpose: providing additional protection to the spine and shoulders, and crucially, balancing the weight of the gorget front-to-back. This thoughtful construction helps the piece rest securely around the neck and collar, preventing shifting during movement — no tugging, twisting, or constant adjustment as you stride into your scene or skirmish.
Crafted from durable 1 mm steel, the Landsknecht Gorget is secured using leather straps and steel buckles that adjust for a snug, comfortable fit. It sits perfectly over a gambeson or arming doublet and is fully compatible with Epic Armoury’s shoulder plates, spaulders, and full cuirass sets — including, of course, the rest of the Landsknecht line.

Features:

Protects the neck, throat, upper chest, and upper back
Articulated neck lames for smooth movement and dynamic protection
Bevor-style front plate and rear plate for balanced weight and comfort
Crafted from 1 mm steel, ideal for LARP, reenactment, and stage
Adjustable leather straps and buckles for secure wear
Compatible with most Epic Armoury spaulders and cuirasses
Available in Polished Steel and Epic Dark finishes

Whether you wear it to complete a full plate harness or as a standalone mark of rank, the Landsknecht Gorget commands attention. It’s more than a piece of armour — it’s the line between vulnerability and defiance, between speech and silence.

Material:	Leather, 19ga Mild Steel
Maintenance:	Regularly apply lanolin based lubricant for best results.

Landsknecht Armour Bundle

Steel with swagger. Discipline with drama.

The Complete Landsknecht Armour Set is a full upper-body harness forged for those who fight with flair and lead from the front. Inspired by the bold and notoriously flamboyant mercenary companies of the 16th century, this set delivers both battlefield presence and reliable protection — equally suited for LARP campaigns, reenactment displays, or the intensity of the theatre stage.
This is armour that doesn’t just shield the body — it defines the character. From the commanding line of the breastplate to the rhythmic layering of articulated steel, every piece has been designed to move with purpose and leave a lasting impression. Whether you're portraying a captain of fortune, a noble officer, or a war-weary veteran, this harness carries weight in both style and story.
At the heart of the set is the Landsknecht Cuirass, a robust torso plate that wraps the chest and back with clean lines and reinforced shaping. It includes integrated faulds and tassets, protecting the lower torso and hips while echoing the layered silhouette that made Landsknecht fashion so iconic.
Guarding the neck is the Landsknecht Gorget, built with three articulated lames that rise to cover the throat and a hidden rear plate that protects the spine and ensures balance across the shoulders. This smart construction helps anchor the armour securely in place, even during long hours of wear.
The Landsknecht Spaulders add sculptural drama to the upper body, with four cascading lames that allow full shoulder rotation and besagews to shield the armpits — combining visual flair with essential function. These are matched by the Landsknecht Vambraces, a full set of articulated arm guards that cover the upper arms, elbows, and forearms with fluid protection that moves as naturally as the warrior inside it.

Each piece is forged from 1 mm steel, offering a strong yet lightweight build that allows for agility on the field and comfort during prolonged wear. Fastened with leather straps and brass buckles, the entire set is designed for easy adjustment over gambesons, arming coats, or stage costumes.

Whether you're building a complete historical ensemble or layering it into a custom fantasy kit, the Landsknecht Armour Set offers the perfect fusion of character, comfort, and commanding presence.
