Not every fantasy armor can be optimized for steel fights.

In this video, I make the medieval armet on based on two artifacts. They are the Italian sallet (which is what it says on the picture) and the visor which looks like it is german.

ArmorySmith Review

When I first began fighting I had no Idea what I was set to encounter.  I needed protection, but there was such a huge selection of armor and armorers that at the end of a three month’s search I had made little progress towards picking a kit.  I spent days going over pictures and videos posted by European armorers trying to figure out which set or time period really fit me the best. At first, I have to admit, I was very hesitant. Sending money to some company I had never heard of halfway across the world in hopes of getting some armor in return?  There was certainly some worry that sending money overseas was going to disappear into a black hole.  ArmorySmith proved me wrong.

Fierce German mercenary knight Götz von Berlichingen loved a good feud. As a soldier for hire in the early 1500s, he and his rogue crew of rabble-rousers fought on behalf of whichever Bavarian dukes and barons had the biggest beefs and the fattest wallets.

The ArtArmor Workshop – our name for more than 5 years, but unfortunately not mellifluent and difficult to remember. In addition to this, we transfered to the “.com” type of website instead of “com.ua” and our name was already taken. This is why we decided to move forward and to make a little re-branding.
