Lord and Ladies, Sirs and Maidens,

I have progressed in my acquisition of armour but alas I am running into issues understanding my layers. Please Help!
As a base layer I have a basic linen shirt, over that I was thinking a quilted gamberson or jacket. Over this I would have the chainmail. I eventually want to create my very own coat of arms (with my sparrow hawk emblem) onto a tabard.
I will then have helmet, gorget, pauldrons, knee and greaves as well as Spoleto and gauntlets as the final outer layer. (I will probably have a belt with wine skin and pouches to finish off) what do you all think and do you think I should change anything. I realise I haven’t got any trousers on at this point but I may go for linen trousers with padded chausses to complete the look.
What do you all think and should I consider anything else?
Thank you all eternally for the continued patience and wit when engaging with a simple low-born.
EDIT I am aware of the obvious AI images however the real thing is being created by my smith who made my helmet and they are happy to create it to a “realistic” standard.l

Knight(32) Noble Knights of the continents, help a sir in need. My mail is strong, mine helmet could allow victory over an ox but alas… mine own silhouette betrays me. How could a knight such a me ensure my presence appears more …knightly… ?
Thank you.

Just got my new helmet from HonourKraft and I’ve gotta say, other than a wait and a bit of miscommunication they were really helpful. Great quality, good service and an awesome start to my armour set!

Hey Everyone M32 here, what do you think of my helmet I got custom made, 2.5mm tempered and darkened steel? New to all this but hope to make a social featuring the build.

Hey Everyone,
Finally got some pictures of my helmet I’ve ordered, what do you all think and do you think it will be a good start to a piece to a fantasy armor set?

M32- Hi Everyone, I'm starting a content page across multiple social media’s for my son and I. The main theme is me in a suit of armour whilst we do medieval/fantasy themed things as well as self improvement (I wanted to be his knight in shining armour!) Trouble is, I've never worn any armour before. I asked AI for a bit of help using some pieces I found online but I wanted you kind people to give me a hand on what I should change. I want my "Character" to look battle worn but regal (Roguishly tough) In my mind I had Castlevania's Trevor Belmont mixed with a sell sword Knight. What do you guys think and what can I make it better? I apologise if AI is not appreciated but it was the only way I could design my concept for the armour I will be eventually buying.
A few caveats- I don’t need it to be overly historically correct but I don’t want anything too over the top. And secondly the colour and logos will be changed too for a personalized crest and colour.
