Style in Steel: Plate Armor as Fashion

I often observe 21st century people dismiss beautiful armors as purely decorative objects. Folks look at these harnesses, conclude that they seem too beautiful for the battlefield, and just write them off as “parade” armors that sat in some castle unused and pristine, only donned for ceremony or for portraiture. But people of the past deeply understood how fashion and function could be blended to create objects of immense beauty and influence. *MY ARMOR FASHION BRAND* https://loricaclothing.com/ *SUPPORT THE CHANNEL* https://ko-fi.com/loricaclothing *VIDEO CONTENTS* 00:00 - Intro 02:25 - Chapter One, Medieval Male Beauty 03:22 - Arming Doublets 04:05 - Knightly Insecurity 05:19 - Chapter Two, Kastenbrust 07:18 - Chapter Three, German Gothic 08:32 - Chapter Four, Maximilian 09:02 - Microtrend: Landsknecht Armor 10:20 - Maximilian I and Image as Power 11:02 - Closing Remarks #armor #history #medieval
