right now I'm in the middle of leather sewing so I will be slow as fuck but in the meantime try to think about specifics that you want to see

You need to add accessories that display status.

Otherwise it depends on the time period and region what classifies you as a poor knight. A full blown small plated brigantine was relatively pricey and was only worn by those with the money for it, while those with a lesser budget would opt for something like a coat of plates or a visby brigantine. Materials of the brigantine is also a good way to show off.

Are you fond of standard themes or like something a little less common? For example try and look into early renaissance Italian footmen and their fashion. Or other late medieval periods or the likes. Everybody has seen the Ketill pants and Tabbard look. And everybody has been thrown to death with a knight in maille and tabbard. Sure you can make it look great (there are some picture perfect costumes out there) but all in all you need to put a little thought into that and really work on all the details to get to that point.

On the other hand, although a little hard to step into if I were you I'd look into some of the more unused periods, Landsknechten aren't too common usually and not too hard although just a massive amount of work compared to most others. A houppelande or a good arming jacket with jack chains can take you very very far in life.
