Mina gorget - Silver

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.

The Moina greaves are kept simple, but with their curved tip they look both slim and elegant. Matching the rest of the Mina set, the bracers also have a circumferential bead.

Their functional cut and their good combinability with other armour parts from our range make them interesting for a variety of costume ideas.

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

The matching gorget from Mytholon's "Elias" series.

Offers good protection to the wearers' neck and makes every worn armour look even more astonishing. This gorget allows spaulders to be linked up to the buckles on its sides.

We suggest to combine the gorget with either a padded collar or a gambeson. This avoids scratches and bruises and gives a plus in comfort while wearing it.

This small gorget was designed for young heroes and ladies - bigger necks will have difficulties fitting in there.

The gorget is being closed with a buckle on the right shoulder and opened on the left one. It is made with a short "turtle neck", having a completly different appearance as any other gorget on the market. There are no fixpoints for spaulders attached on this 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.

SAVE YOUR NECK!

The mercenary roared in pain as my rapier found a weak spot in his armour. In a last effort of fearful rage, he drew his rondel dagger and made a forceful thrust. In a fraction of the following moment, I felt the blade sing as my gorget reflected the blade. A scratched armour is better than a fatal wound, I thought, as the fight continued.

The Captain Gorget is a minor but essential armour piece, available in glorious Polished Steel and grim Epic Dark.
