My rule #1 about plate armour. Get top quality or not at all, just a few shiny pieces of wonder will go a lot longer than a shabby poorly made and poorly fitting full plate at the same cost.


Quoted for truth.

When it comes to plate armour, it needs to fit well and bend in all the right places. As you learn more about armour you don't want to end up being embarressed about your own (something that happened to me).


Amen to that, good armour is more fitted than a Tux. Cheap off the shelf stuff looks cheap, when put together into a full armour. Affordable off the shelf stuff can work in instances like some have mentioned of minimum armour over chain or cloth. In the end you get what you pay for.
