Description
The Medieval Collar Bevor serves as a vital guard for the neck, crafted to shield the wearer from blows and slashes aimed at this vulnerable area during battle. Forged from sturdy 16 gauge mild steel, this piece is shaped to curve smoothly around the throat and lower face, allowing for both protection and movement. When worn, it fits snugly beneath the helmet and over the gorget, completing the defensive layering of a full suit of armor.
Secured by an adjustable leather belt fastened with a solid iron buckle, the bevor can be tightened or loosened to suit the wearer’s comfort and armor configuration. This fastening system not only ensures the collar stays firmly in place during combat or movement but also echoes the fastening methods used by armorers of the medieval period. The steel is carefully formed and tempered to withstand impacts while maintaining a manageable weight for extended wear.
In the workshop, shaping a bevor like this requires skill in hammering and bending steel to achieve a smooth, protective curve that doesn’t restrict the knight’s head or neck movements. The leather strap is hand-cut and riveted, chosen to endure the stresses of battle and time.
