    Plate should be tailored specifically for you and custom made. Same with swords tbh but most people ignore that.

        get parts of it made instead of getting a full harness at once, start with a cuirass and a helmet, get gauntlets and vambraces after that, etc
        as a positive, that's how foot soldiers would actually equip themselves when they didn't have enough money. they'd start with a helmet, get chest protection and then gauntlets

            With full face helmets, you want to be very precise with the measurements and take into account if you will be wearing padding under the helmet, or the eye holes won't be properly aligned and your breath will make the whole thing very sweaty, very quickly.

        It's a SUIT of armor
        suits are tailor made for one individual

        All you need to do now is find a modern-day blacksmith who has enough time in their schedule to make your suit of armor for you, that'll be an extra $1300 to bump up your piece and that's if they stick to their word and don't just frick you out of your money like Super Bloke Lindy who made a video detailing the process of trying to get one piece of armor from some guy, a week passed, 2 weeks, then 3, a few months, and no reply back on that piece of armor.
        If you don't have that money or time, you can always go the route of

        what you're going to get is a steaming pile of hot mess like this, OP.

        if you're really wanting to wear it, you're going to have to talk to the guys in Ukraine or Poland, and pay about twice that.

        the crappy indian-made stuff is awful.

          Man, you're in for a surprise once you're old enough for your parents to buy you your first suit.
          As for other bits of general advice learning to shape metal doesn't also teach you how every possible metal object should be shaped, and as such most blacksmiths don't have much of a clue about armor.

              From "suits are tailor made" to it being possible to get a suit tailor made if you look around a bit and pay a premium for it. Ain't that something.

      While having things custom tailored won't hurt, buying stuff off the rack was how it was generally done with knightly plate armour and so on back in the day. A fully custom suit of armor back in the day, well, we can probably compare it to not just buying a Rolls Royce today but also having it fully customised inside and out. For lower ranking soldiers the powers that were often bought armour by the dozen or hundreds. Swords were quite literally made and sold by the barrel.
      On the other hand, the armour bought off the rack would usually have been available in a few different sizes. And whether a single suit for a knight or five hundred sets for the armoury, it would have been designed by someone who knew how the human body is shaped and moves, how to wrap armour around that while keeping it protective and likely how to also have it look reasonably good. All of this stands in stark contrast to how the suit in OP's pic has been designed. Whoever did that has seen enough actual armour to put together something that, well, can be put together and actually have a living human inside of it. Probably even without causing the wearer any significant injury. But he doesn't seem to have bothered much beyond that, since the target audience likely hasn't looked much at historical armour either.
      The Japanese-style suits don't look nearly as bad, but the photos aren't nearly as clear either and the way they're shaped and constructed also makes it a bit harder to see.

      So if OP just wants to blow 1700USD on a man-sized dust collector then, sure, go ahead. If he wants something a bit more than that then, as

      first figure out what you want to larp as/put on display, then look up an osprey publishing book on the subject to see what they actually looked like, then start googling recommendations from historical reenactment forums

      said it's time to do some homework. Ideally a whole bloody lot of homework. Pick a place, pick a time (this may be down to the decade in the plat armour period), start reading up on what they wore there and then. Go look at the real thing in museums, or at least find photos of them. Eventually you'll be able to spot the worst shite just by a glance.

    Honestly, it's a lot of fun to muck around in these things, so if you've got the spare cash and it's in your size, go for it.
    Just a warning though, double-check it was made by an actual armourer and not just a replica someone assembled using standard steel as it will weigh a tonne and your experience after half an hour will not be bueno.

      >someone assembled using standard steel as it will weigh a tonne
      There's no major density difference between steel grades, if it's too heavy it's because it's too thick. As for how thick it needs to be to protect even a basic modern steel will tend to be a lot better a big chunk of what they made armour from back in the day (the "entry level" stuff there being plain iron). So an excessively heavy suit is either just poorly designed here, or it's been made to provide a lot more protection than historical (say, keeping you without all too many bruises as you go back to work on Monday morning as opposed to simply keeping you alive).

    You wanna wear it? Don't buy it. It's cheap but if you want to have a dope armor that also fits then you should scratch together a couple thousand bucks more and get a hand crafted, fitted suit of armor. If you're only putting it on display however then it's fine.

    Okay /k/, let's say two people of equal height and build get in to a fight. Neither one of them is taken by surprise. One of them has authentic, properly fitted knight armor, and the other has a Home Depot machete, who wins?

      Armorgay here:
      I have absolute faith in my equipment. I have absolute contempt for anyone else's (that isn't plate or a poleaxe) in a head to head, hand fight. If the guy in the armor is even vaguely similar, he'll win every time. Plate is a lethal weapon against unarmored people. There are very few targets the machete can do any harm to, they're hard to hit, and the man in armor knows where they are and how to defend them. It's literally as simple as duck the head, close your fists, and charge.

      If he hesitates a lot he could lose, but otherwise it's just going to be a soon to be unarmed man forced to grapple with a much heavier opponent he can't always get a grip on, who's pummeling him with steel knees, elbows, hands, and headbutts, and who is actually immune to some types joint manipulation. Fkr example, you CANNOT hyperextend or otherwise injure my knee unless you hit me so hard you break the armor. It just can't move that way. On the other hand, I can absolutely kick someone in the knee with my legs and sabatons on.

      Probably the guy in authentic fitted knight armor designed specifically to mitigate blows from shit better designed than a Home Depot machete. I'd imagine it would go something like the guy with the machete wildly swinging while charging, realizing that it isn't doing much, then wildly swinging while backpedaling, before tripping and landing on his ass, then getting ground and pounded by steel knuckles.
