With the context of our project established we begin gathering the resources to make our first piece of armor. A set of 15th Century Milanese gauntlets!
Using extant pieces, manuscript image, contemporary artwork and even a reliquary of Charles the Bold, we gather all the originals source material we need to design our gauntlets. Along the way we also discover a few interesting facts about Italian gauntlets in the 15th Century including how they evolved and a few stylistic differences that are unique to our project.

GAUNTLETS ITALIAN EXPORT/FLEMISH STYLE
Date: (1460 - 1470)
Make: Italian, Milanese
Style: Milanese Export/Flemish
This series will follow the step by step journey as we design, build and problem solve through making a set of Gauntlets for our larger Infantry Harness project.
Every quality build starts with quality research and this first episode shows the collection of resources and some of the ways to find original inspiration for an armor making project.
Using our context we were able to identify the details of the originals that aligned with the correct date, region and cohesion we require. With originals sourced, we can then select those that will serve as the basis for the patterns we will then trace onto steel.
