Gothic armor’s most characteristic feature is fluting (the addition of fold-like grooves or

Gothic armor’s most characteristic feature is the very rounded form of its plates and the
lack of fluting.
One of the key differences between German Gothic and Italian armor is that the plackart
(a reinforcement plate that covers the lower half of the front torso and the bottom part of
the breastplate) is riveted to the breastplate on German armor, while on Italian armor the
plackart is secured to the breastplate with a leather strap, allowing for greater mobility
because the plackart and breastplate can move independently.
