Get dressed in 16th century armour

This armour is made in Sweden by Albert Collins in 2019 as a masterpiece. It´s made with reconstructed 16th-century tools. You can see how the different parts lock and straps together, and how it is laced onto the doublet The undergarments are based on the "Sture" garments in Uppsala cathedral. An armour is not complete without proper well-fitted garments. The doublet is made from silk padded with a thin layer of cotton. the hose is made from elk buff leather, that has been painted black on the outside.

The workmanship, design, engineering, artistry, precision... it's absolutely exquisite... just look at his hand when he grips the weapon... unbelievable...

Not only is it amazing this ancient 16th century video still exists, but I was amazed that it was in color as well!

[rmj]

Absolutely astounding. Almost no hope of defeating that guy in battle....the moustache alone adds 10 points to strength

[rymreaper]

Hard to believe armor like his existed, history is fascinating. I want this so bad. It looks so beautiful!

[relivinghistory]

That harness is exquisite, a work of art.

[leoprzytuac]

YES!! Finally, a good 16th century armor video. Such an underrated period.

[TheCrispyForge]

Seeing people get dressed up in armor is incredibly satisfying. Especially when the armor is as beautiful as this!

[ulflidsman]

I really miss the sound on this video. It would have been fantastic to hear the clicks when the armour is putted together.

[AndonKling]

To think that this was developed right when firearms began to dominate battlefields. Imagine what armor could've evolved into if gunpowder weapons weren't so commonplace

[DETHMOKIL]

Dang, hard to believe that isn't a genuine artifact. Really extremely close fitting. Fantastic plumes too lol

[youraveragebinchicken]

truly one of the nicest pieces i've ever seen

[scrappermax]

There should be chainmail sewn onto the groin, huge open space there, the only way I could see it not being an issue is if the knight were on horseback, but dismounted that’s dangerous

[GarrettSmith-xu]

The craftsmanship of this armor is truly astounding. This is the quality of the armor of Kings. I am very curious to its cost.

[Themissw]

Wow! Watching this video is helping me draw suits of armour accurately. Thank you for sharing!

[RaulArmandoIbarraVera]

Knowing how this is all put together is super helpfull if you wanna make a cardboard one

[SamuraiJames]

Fantastic armor! Especially like the spring pin for the gauntlet cuff, such an excellent fit over the vambrace.

What is the piece on the cheek below the visor at 2:28? Does that lock the spring pin in place to prevent it from opening if hit during combat?

[Actually_Sanguinius]

That is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful harnesses of full plate i have ever seen. That amount of armor protection (especially around the joints) must be absolutely terrifying up close.

[ollelof]

see it at the armor chamber in stockholm

[InnerSilence]

I would love to see the movement of this armour on detail. there are many videos of armour in YT but none of them depicts such a high quality piece.

Mother of God!
This os truly a master work of armour, you sir are a very skilled man, I can not even imagine how long take you to learn all that is needed to create such wonderful suit.
