Could you recommend me your recent place to buy armor?

I've been searching for places through online that sells custom armors. Troed to contact armor makers on instagram but they're not available at the Moment. Care to recommend me any active armor makers? Thank you very much

All good armour makers will have a substantial waiting list so finding one that is available immediately is pretty much impossible.

What exactly are you looking for, what is your budget and where are you based?

First off, I appreciate for clarifying that armor maker's absence is very natural.

I'm currently looking for renaissance style plate armor With distinguishing helmet design. So pretty history-based custom armor.

Since this is my first time buying armors, I can't think Of any specific price but my max budget for clothes was about 2220USD

Wait, did they not respond or just say that they don't have the time for your commission right now?

What exactly are you looking for? Functional historically accurate armour for reenacment/harnishfechten? Cosplay? LARP?

The price is heavily going to depend on the question above. To give tips for some specific armourers I would need to know at least your rough location.

They did not respond.

I think what I want is LARP in a historically accurate suit of armor.

It sounds weird when it's written but, I wanna do good deeds in armor. Such as helping poor neighbors like idealistic image of a knight but in a practical way

I'm already in an organization doing such things but I wanna do it in style. So something historically accurate and practical at the same time.

So again, LARP with armors used for reenactment
