What Are Gorgets?

Gorgets are protective pieces of armor designed to shield the throat and upper chest. Originating in medieval Europe, they were commonly used as part of a full suit of armor. Over time, gorgets evolved from purely defensive equipment into ceremonial insignia worn by officers.

From the battlefields of the Middle Ages to ceremonial military uniforms, gorgets have maintained their presence as a symbol of protection and honor. Today, they are highly sought after for:

• Historical reenactments

• Cosplay and LARP events

• Decorative armor displays

The Historical Significance of Gorgets

In medieval times, gorgets were essential protective gear for knights and soldiers. As plate armor evolved, the gorget became a vital defense against sword strikes and projectiles targeting the vulnerable neck area.

By the 17th and 18th centuries, gorgets transitioned into ceremonial insignia worn by military officers. Even today, certain military traditions maintain symbolic use of gorgets in formal uniforms.
