The perfect piece to complete your medieval warrior ensemble, the Steel Elias Gorget offers excellent protection to the neck of the wearer. This steel gorget displays a bright metal finish that goes great with other plate armour. Buckles enable shoulder armour like the Large Steel Elias Spaulders (MY100067) or Small Steel Elias Spaulders (MY100073) to be easily linked up with the sides of this metal gorget. We recommend wearing a padded collar or other arming wear with this steel armour for increased comfort. Our Elias armour works great for LARP battles and re-enactments.
If you’re looking for the matching pieces to this armour, check out our Steel Elias Armour Set (ARMOUR-S11), which includes the large spaulders and a longer cuirass. If you would prefer an option with smaller spaulders and a shorter cuirass, check out the Steel Elias Short Armour Set (ARMOUR-S10).
Please be aware that this armour is handmade, and it can be thicker than listed here. As such, it is intended mainly for costuming, light reenactment, and LARP.

Simple and functional! Felt no burden wearing this, as the neck hole is significantly larger than ones head. Most of the time the gorget stayed centered despite constant shifting from my pauldrons. I definitely recommend a padded gorget be worn under this, as the last thing you want is your sweaty neck touching ice cold or searing hot steel. I purchased the Arthur gorget to go with this and all my burdens floated away Ive got a 38-40″ chest, and the front usually never made contact with my chest. I was able to correct it by easily bending the steel by hand so to get a fitted feel

It works great with my kit; my only problem with it is that it can be large and cumbersome if you don’t wear a cuirass with it. Other than that, it works great, and I’m very happy with what I got for the price.

I think it looks good, and has good durability and is resistant to tarnish, but I dislike the 1 strap/1 rivet approach. It just does not fit me well, all the other pieces I have of mostly this set do, but this piece sticks far forward and if it had 2 leather straps, it would be so much better. I’m young and not a big person, but everything else about it is good other than the fitting. I recommend this piece but you may have to do some work for it to fit.
