Description
This Medieval Gorget is forged from 18-gauge mild steel, a choice material that balances strength with manageable weight. The steel is carefully shaped and polished to a smooth finish, not only to resist the elements but to present a clean, purposeful appearance befitting a soldier or knight. The gorget fastens with a belt and buckle system, allowing the wearer to adjust it snugly around the neck, providing vital protection without sacrificing comfort or range of motion. Such design was essential for warriors who needed to keep their guard up while remaining agile on the battlefield or during tournaments.
Whether worn in reenactments, live-action roleplay, or as part of a historical display, this gorget offers a practical glimpse into the armor worn by those who defended their honor and lives in the medieval era.
