介绍（中）	盔甲的设计经常受到男装风格的影响。从大约 1510 年到 1530 年左右，在德国南部和奥地利，这种趋势在精心制作的盔甲中达到了极致，直接模仿了华丽的膨化和切割服装。只有最熟练和最有创造力的盔甲师才能成功地用锤击和蚀刻钢重新制作切割天鹅绒和刺绣丝绸。这种要求苛刻的风格最著名的实践者是因斯布鲁克的康拉德·苏森霍夫（活跃于 1500-1517 年）和奥格斯堡的科尔曼·赫尔姆施密德（1471-1532 年），他们都为宫廷工作。服装盔甲的头盔经常包括压花的遮阳板，以代表夸张的人类或动物面具。这种面具遮阳板的部分灵感来自在德国流行的传统四旬期前狂欢节中佩戴的面具。
介绍（英）	The design of armor was often influenced by the style of men’s clothing. From about 1510 to about 1530, in southern Germany and Austria, this trend was taken to an extreme in elaborate armor that directly imitated flamboyant puffed and slashed costume. Only the most skillful and inventive armorers could successfully re-create cut-velvet and embroidered silk in hammered and etched steel. The most renowned practitioners of this demanding style were Conrad Seusenhofer (active 1500–1517) of Innsbruck and Kolman Helmschmid (1471–1532) of Augsburg, both of whom worked for the imperial court. The helmets of costume armors frequently included visors that were embossed to represent exaggerated human or animal masks. Such mask-visors were inspired in part by the masks worn in the traditional pre-Lenten carnivals that were popular throughout Germany.
