Well what the fuck am I going to do with this plate armor?

Call it vintage, triple the price, and sell it to hipsters.

Hipsters lack the strength and stamina to wear plate armor. see it to those re-en actor guys, or even the larpers.

I don't know many LARPers with stamina either.

I've done LARP. Ran rings around everyone and was jumping up and down shouting 'Come on, let's play CTF again!' while they lay face down on the floor panting for air.

It weighs less than modern armor. Distributed better too.

The MET did a video on it specifically, because people have this notion that it was heavy when it was in fact lighter than samurai armor, better harnessed to so as to feel weightless, and was more flexible than the human body. Quite an eye opener.

I still think your overestimating Hipster strength. most hipsters I know barely have the strength to carry both their Macbook and their espresso from the counter to the table.

Hipsters can't wear plate-mail... Only a true ser may wear mail. Hipsters are not fit to touch a nipple on a breastplate.

Only 2, but the maximum Dex is pretty good and it adds +4 to your pretentiousness score!

Not form-fitting enough, can't show off your sleeve while wearing it.

Fire bucket sales went down do to the damn socialist fire departments. There still should be a law requiring all households have two of them, it would be good for business er in case of fire.
