Whenever designing any sort of realistic armor, always remember that it’s owner will almost certainly have something like this beneath it and it will effect her silhouette accordingly.

Yes, yes, YES!

It can not be stressed enough: if you wear heavy armor, gambeson (or something similar) beneath is a must!

Padding is mandatory part of proper armor, that’s why “metal worn directly on skin” is part the bingo.

This week we’re bringing back this spectacular example of what, assuming you want some degree of realism, is worn underneath most fantasy/medieval armors.

The necessity of this garment also ties in with why you, if you expect to see action, you certainly don’t want your armor form fitted either.
