Lambert Gorget

The gorget of our “Lambert” series stands out through its curved shape. A flexibly mounted neck segment allows comfortably adjusting the size of the neck cutout. That means you can make sure the gorget won’t fit uncomfortable or chafe your skin. Additionally, the two-part gorget was joined movably in the nape area, which also contributes to a significantly increased wearing comfort. The gorget “Lambert” is a great choice for all wearers of armour that value functionality and wearing comfort.

We recommend wearing a gambeson jacket or padded collar underneath the gorget to avoid bruises and abrasions.

NEVER RISK YOUR NECK

Designed to add comfort and protection beneath your Epic Armoury Scout Shoulders, this Scout Shoulder Gambeson is a must have when you venture into battle. Made from quilted cotton encasement and lined with a soft polyester interior, this product has a stitching that ensures the padding remaining evenly spaced. Secure it around your neck by tying the cotton strings in front and wear it just on its own or as padding beneath any heavy steel or leather armour. Quilted armour was common through many cultures and time periods, and with its interchangeable style and affordable price, the Scout Shoulder Gambeson will work on a wide variety of LARP characters.

HISTORY

• Quilted armours have been around since at least 400 BCE
• Used as padding under chainmail or plate armour
• Historically, a high-medieval European gambeson was recorded as being capable of stopping sword blows from penetrating the skin
• Could stop heavy arrows and mace and axe impacts with the addition of overlaying chainmail
• Specific style often worn by freemen, mercenaries, and other independent warriors

The bracers of Mytholon's Lambert series feature a curved beading and have a cutout for the crook of the wearer’s arm. That way, they won’t hinder the wearer’s movements in combat and are comfortable to wear. Like all parts of the Lambert series, these bracers combine functionality with an elegant design.

We recommend wearing a padding or arm wraps underneath the bracers to increase wearing comfort and avoid bruises and abrasions.

The belt shield of our “Lambert” series is an accessory you don’t necessarily need to wear in combination with a suit of armour. It is ideally suited for being used to display your coat of arms or group affiliation. Its broad loops allow you to comfortably attach it to your belt. The loops can be rotated to change their position, allowing you to attach the shield to a chainmail shirt or in a similar position.

The spaulders of Mytholon's Lambert series consist of six movable segments. Due to their exceptional length, they also protect the upper arm without hindering the wearer’s movements in combat.

Like the entire Lambert armour series, the spaulders have a curved design and stand out through both their functionality as well as their elegant shape. Straps on the inside may be used to attach additional arm protection.

The armour belt of Mytholon's Lambert series features a broad leather lamella that closes the gap between torso armour and armour belt.

The fittings for tassets can be used to attach Lambert tassets as well as tassets from other armour series, such as Galahad. The armour belt may be closed by means of a strap at the back.

The tassets of Mytholon's Lambert armour series consist of four curved segments and offer great mobility. They may also be attached to torso armour parts and armour belts from other armour series, such as Galahad or Edward.

We recommend wearing a long gambeson jacked or thigh paddings to avoid bruises and abrasions.

The greaves of Mytholon's Lambert series are ornamented with a beading that curves upwards. Their broad cutouts for the wearer’s feet allow comfortably wearing them even on long marches.

The torso armour of Mytholon's Lambert series features a plain and functional design. It consists of a breast plate and a back plate that are connected by adjustable shoulder straps. The straps on both sides may also be used to adjust the size. The backplate comprises two parts and has a movable lower segment. This serves to considerably increase wearing comfort and mobility.
Please note that the indentations are where the wearer's shoulder blades should be, and are not intended for protection of a female chest. Wearing it backwards in this way will be, at best, incredibly uncomfortable.

Unlike the other parts of the Lambert series, the torso armour is not ornamented in any way, meaning it can also be universally combined with other armour series and outfits.

We recommend wearing a gambeson jacket or padded collar underneath the torso armour to increase wearing comfort and avoid bruises and abrasions.

The best defence in life means nothing if it is eaten away by time and the elements, or even attacked from the inside.
And so it is with your own armour!
Humidity, expansion and contraction in the heat, UV radiation, rain, and the withering blows of your enemies all conspire to expose your armour to rust, but worse yet, your very own precious bodily fluids conspire to corrode it from the inside with their impurities and corruption! (which is why we only ever drink pure grain alcohol or rainwater)

You could coat your armour (and other metal objects) in a regular run of the mill lubricant, but many of them are actively hydrophobic. Great for metal but terrible for leather, cotton and other organic materials!

Lanox MX4 is a lanolin rich lubricant, and lanolin is the oil that is naturally produced by sheep to prevent them from shrinking in the rain and generally remain weather proof! It is superior to many artificial compounds and does not damage leathers or organic fibres.

The "Mina" line was made as an armour for women, drawing from historical and fantasy sources for inspiration.
The gorget is, just like the entire "Mina" series, built similary to the "Balthasar" series: decorations with rivets along the edge beading are a returning design element in both armours. Both armour series can easily be combined with each other. A slim built and swung lines provide a delicate shape to this gorget. It does not overlap with the chest plate or spaulders, so that you can use the space for creative costume pieces. It also offers more movability to this area. The gorget is being closed with a brass pin and a leather strap.

Our "Lena" armour series was especially designed for warrior princesses and shield maidens alike. We distanced from historical patterns and steped closer to a rather fantastic shape. The outcome was a not only a long awaited womens armour, but also a costume set of in the form of a worthy armour set. Be it an Amazone, a warrior princess or an exalted priestess - all of them are possible by combining the armour with the right clothing pieces...
Only your imagination limits the possibilities.

The "Lena" series gorget appears smaller and more delicate than most other plate metal gorgets. despite of this, it works just as good as a plate spaulder carrier with the two buckle/straps on the sides. It is being closed with a simple strap and can be closed by the wearer when fully armed.
You can wear all our spaulders from all series in combination with this gorget.
Younger heroes, kids and smaller persons can wear this gorget in a combination with the small spaulders from the "Adam", "Balthasar" and "Markward" series.

If your costume creation allows a padded gorget - we suggest to wear padding underneath all metal armour pieces, as this prevents bruises and scratches when being armed.

The gorget of the "Markward" series is not only special because of its rather technical design, it also differs in its construction from conventional plate gorgets. By a flexibly suspended throat element, the size can be varied there. This avoids that the gorget scrubs and presses on the throat. In addition, the two-part gorget was movably joined in the neck area. This also increases the wearing comfort significantly.

The gorget "Markward" is well suited for all armor wearers who value functionality and comfort.

Simple Design, Great Protection

Epic Armoury’s Soldier Gorget is designed to sit around the neck, providing protection to the thorax and shoulders. Handmade and molded to sit comfortably on the shoulders, this gorget offers some of the best protection for the battlefield without being overly ornate. This design makes for a practical look, easily transferred between multiple costumes or to fit a simple medieval soldier.

The Soldier’s Gorget is made from two pieces, one side secured with a bolt and the other closed with an adjustable leather strap. Attach it to your gambeson by threading canvas ties through the leather shoulder plates. With regular leather and metal care you can expect this quality made armour to last for a long time!

Inspired by Renaissance History

• Also referred to as a gorget, which means throat
• Early versions were typically worn under the breastplate and backplate to support the weight of the heavier plate armour
• Later versions were larger and designed to be worn over clothing

You look upon your leading officer as he makes his way down the line of your fellow soldiers. Your fate and the fate of your entire unit is dependent on this veteran’s word, and you find yourself relieved not to shoulder such a heavy burden.

“We must fight!” your officer shouts for all to hear. You adjust your Neck Plate Warrior armour, double checking the buckles as you listen to him continue. “For our homes and for our families, we will fight until we can fight no more!” With a resounding cheer, your fellow soldiers ready themselves for the charge. You withdraw your weapon, eager and afraid all at once.

The battle has begun.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Neck Plate Warrior is a gorget designed to sit around the neck and give additional protection to the throat. An elongated front piece and shorter back piece are decorated with rivets, and can be attached to shoulderguards using sturdy top-grain leather straps. Although the armour is designed to match Epic Armoury’s ‘Warrior’ set, it is fully interchangeable with other Epic Armoury armours in order to fully customize your character’s look.

Secure the Neck Plate Warrior by tightening the leather straps across the shoulders, adjusting so that the armour sits comfortably around the neck. Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and top-grain leather straps and fittings, this armour piece is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or historical reenactment with regular leather and metal armour care.
