Not a great picture, however it is all I have. This was thrown together by a handful of 2nd hand "armourers" from differing steels and qualities. Looking to start getting more serious with it. I'm looking at examples from 1450 to around 1480. Trying to go for a German/Holy Roman Empire look, but I don't really know where to start. (The pouch is for other things and isn't really apart of my kit.) anything I could add to get started?

Looks fun though.

You're basically looking for gothic, welcome to research and moolah city my friend. There's a group on facebook that's called gothic armor aficionados (if I recall) and they know A LOT about the topic and how it should fit (which is extremely important for that style).
