Please note, this isn't me in the photos, but my armourer.
I'm quite a bit shorter and have larger arms, shoulders and chest... But you get the picture... Its still worn with a haubergeon, and there is a mail coif/aventail that is worn under the helm which will show past the extended portions of the grand bascient. |
Great looking armour and the coif would seem useful to me to seal the gap between the bottom edge of the helm and the top of the breast plate as I assume that without the coif a point could slip between the above ?
One doesn't see these Great Bascinet reproduced as often as the regular smaller ones + attached aventail.
