Even with the gambeson and a mail shirt a fighter was not as well protected as a warrior with plate armor. However plate armor could be expensive. The brigandine filled this gap very well. This suede leather garment has small steel plates rivited between the outer shell and the lining. This kind of construction made it easy enoujgh for a soldier to make and repair his own armor without needing the high skill of an armorer. Weighing only 6 lbs. it is very flexible and does not restrict movement. Commonly worn over a gambeson and mail shirt it was not long befor this form of protection was in wide use with fighters from knight to archer. Our vision has three buckles on each side for greater versatility in fit. There are metal plates all the way around. The plates are right next to each other with no gap in between. The metal plates are square in shape and are riveted to the garmet.

Aprrox. 32"long. Choose black or brown leather shell. S/M (fits chest size to 38") or L/XL (fits chest size to 48").. This item is a closeout and now only available in L/XL.
