Handcrafted Medieval Full Body Armor

Every armor suit in this collection is crafted by experienced metalworking artisans using traditional armor-making techniques. Individual components are shaped, assembled, finished, and inspected with attention to detail.

From breastplates and backplates to pauldrons, gauntlets, greaves, and tassets, each component is designed to work together as part of a cohesive knight armor suit. Handcrafted construction can also result in subtle variations in finish, shaping, and appearance, giving each piece its own character.

Our designs draw inspiration from historical European armor, medieval knightly traditions, Gothic plate armor, and fantasy warrior aesthetics. Exact construction and historical accuracy vary by individual design, so review each product listing for its specific features and included components.

Steel Construction and Leather Fittings

Many of our medieval full body armor designs are made from 18-gauge steel and assembled with genuine leather straps and fittings. The steel components are formed and finished to create a distinctive medieval appearance, while adjustable straps and fastening systems help secure the individual armor pieces.

Depending on the design, armor may feature polished steel, darkened or blackened surfaces, battle-worn textures, or antique-inspired finishes. Because each suit is individually crafted, the exact finish and construction can vary between products.

What Is Included in a Full Body Armor Set?

A full suit of armor consists of multiple armor components designed to provide coverage across the torso, shoulders, arms, and legs. The exact contents vary from one armor design to another, so always check the individual product page before ordering.

Depending on the set, a full medieval armor set may include:

• Medieval knight helmet or other helmet style
• Breastplate and backplate
• Pauldrons or shoulder armor
• Gorget or neck protection
• Arm guards and bracers
• Gauntlets or armored gloves
• Faulds or tassets

Not every armor suit includes every component listed above. Some products are complete sets, while others contain a specific combination of armor pieces. The individual product listing should always be used as the final reference for what is included.

LARP Armor

A wearable suit of armor can help create an immersive medieval character for live-action roleplaying. The appearance of steel armor can add substantial visual impact to knight, warrior, crusader, and fantasy characters.

Before purchasing armor for LARP, check your organization's requirements for materials, construction, weight, mobility, and permitted equipment.

Historical Reenactment Armor

Our designs are inspired by historical European armor styles and medieval craftsmanship. They can be considered for suitable reenactment events depending on the specific design and the requirements of the organization.

Buyers seeking strict historical accuracy should review the individual product specifications and compare the design with their chosen historical period.

Decorative Armor and Display

A complete suit of armor can also serve as an impressive display piece in a home, office, private collection, themed venue, exhibition, or historical-inspired interior. The combination of shaped steel, detailed components, and medieval styling creates a strong visual centerpiece even when the armor is not being worn.

How to Choose the Right Full Body Armor

Choosing the right full knight armor involves more than selecting a design you like. Consider the following before purchasing:

Armor style: Decide whether you prefer Gothic, full plate, Templar, Crusader, Barbuta, tournament, or fantasy-inspired armor.

Included components: Check the individual product listing to see exactly which pieces are included in the set.

Size and fit: Carefully review the sizing information provided for the specific armor. Take your measurements according to the product's instructions and compare them with the available sizing.

Adjustability: Look for suits featuring adjustable leather straps, buckles, or fittings when adjustability is important for your intended use.

Weight: Consider the total weight of the armor and how long you expect to wear it.

Mobility: Full body armor covers more of the body and may affect movement. Consider the activities you plan to perform while wearing the suit.

Intended use: Think about whether you are purchasing armor for display, collecting, cosplay, LARP, reenactment, Renaissance fairs, photography, theater, or other events.

Historical or fantasy appearance: Decide whether you want a historically inspired medieval appearance or a more dramatic fantasy design.

Armor Sizing and Fit

A good fit is important when purchasing a wearable suit of armor. Armor components need to correspond appropriately with the wearer's body measurements while allowing the wearer to move comfortably within the limitations of the design.

Before ordering, review the measurements and sizing information provided on the individual product page. Take accurate body measurements and compare them with the product's specifications.

Where a product offers adjustable straps or fittings, these can help accommodate variations in fit. If you have questions about sizing or measurements for a particular armor suit, contact Artisans Hub before placing your order.

How Much Does a Full Suit of Armor Weigh?

The weight of a full suit of armor varies according to the steel thickness, number of components, armor size, construction, and design.

A complete suit containing a helmet, torso armor, shoulders, arm protection, and leg armor will generally weigh more than a partial armor set. The individual product specifications should be checked whenever weight information is provided.

For a more detailed explanation of medieval armor weight, construction, and the factors that influence the weight of steel armor, see our detailed medieval armor weight guide.

Display Armor vs. Wearable Armor

Medieval armor can serve different purposes. Some collectors want a striking display piece for their home, office, collection, or medieval-themed room, while others want wearable knight armor for events and costumes.

If you plan to wear your armor regularly, pay particular attention to sizing, adjustable fittings, weight, mobility, and the exact components included.

If your primary goal is display, you can focus more heavily on the armor's design, finish, historical inspiration, craftsmanship, and visual impact.
