Need advice about late 14th century kit
Hi everyone, I'll try and keep my post as brief as I can. I'm hoping to get some insight here on late 14th century armour. I'd like to put something together that represents a well-armoured foot soldier from either France or Italy, from about 1380. I really like the look of this bascinet from Lorifactor: https://www.lorifactor.com/p3382,ah-21-r-bascinet-14-15th-cent-pig-face-hundsgugel-for-order.html and I'd like to know which other pieces would best suit it. I plan to wear mail under a jupon (I found one from SPES medieval market that looks right for this period) and a breastplate over that, which I understand was not as common as wearing it underneath the jupon over the mail (?), and some plate gauntlets. I was also wondering about forearm protection- I'd rather not have 3/4 arm harness made just yet. I've seen some examples of what appears to be separate splint vambrace/bazubands from between 1340-60: https://www.facebook.com/groups/xivcenturyeuropeanarmour/posts/1782746311861902/ and wondered how authentic that would be for the time? I'd hugely appreciate any advice. Many thanks!
