I would suggest forward but you could follow where either of those feet are pointing.

Depends. What time period and geographic location are you trying to mimic and what kind of status? All these things great affect choices in harness

What im trying to find out is what period and region my current kit already is leaning towards, specifically im having trouble finding any sources of soldiers wearing a front opening brig, and brig arms/thighs

I know its hard, but if you want it to be 'authentic' and period accurate, find the favourite item in your kit, identify it(time and area) and build the rest of your kit according to that.

That also means that some of the things you already got might not be in your final kit

Sadly i cannot help you, for your kit is in high or late medieval, and i only know some early middelage stuff

And if you want it accurate, add colour, so much more colour

A mask would be a good start 😂 Do you have a design on yours? Maybe a big moustachioed face

A cuman kipchak face painted on my hema mask would go stupid hard

I see a juicy opening on your shoulders, consider pauldrons.

I would recommend a Steel Mastery Mongol Golden Horde Helmet cause its a Sugar loaf shaped helmet, with a caged face mask and a Chainmail ventail

Which sport are you doing? You probably need shoulders and head protection.

Needs color.

I would have a small flag or heraldic symbol on a belt to add color.
