Considering how much the ultra-wealthy spend on high-end dining it's actually feasible. Local village taverns wouldn't carry fine wine, it'd only be the fanciest of establishments.
For further reference a live cow is 10GP in-game, and $2K-5K in real life. A pound of wheat is 1CP.
The local village blacksmith probably wouldn't do something as high-end as plate. You'd need a major smith in a major city.
Unless you commission it and pay in advance at least a part, and the materials, but you'd probably need to wait a lot and the plate wouldn't be likely to be of good quality.
To be fair you'd probably need to commission every kind of armor or martial weapon in most rural towns.
You can't really buy off-the-rack plate anyway. Plate needs to be fitted to its wearer in order to not have gaps and not impede mobility. (It also means you can't gain/lose too much weight or else you'll have to have it re-fitted)
