The use of leather and metal armour combined is something that many people believe led to the confusion of the Victorians, who believed that there was such a thing as "studded" armour. This type of confusion has been carried over in many cases to our days, where we can still see references to it in role-playing games or literature. The reality is that there are historical examples of leather or textile armour, reinforced by metal bands that are riveted to them, hence the aspect that led our ancestors into error. A logical evolution and typical of the time of transitional armour, some examples can be the funerary effigy of Gunther von Schwarzburg (1349) and the funerary brass of Sir Thomas Cheyne (1375), which gives a broad spectrum when it comes to dating the use of these armours.
A very similar protection is seen precisely on the effigy of Sir Thomas Cheyne, in which the rows of rivets and the metal part on the outside can be seen.
Specs:
Made of high quality suede and steel. It may contain scratches, imperfections and not be 100% regular, but this is proof of its authenticity. The roughness or color may vary slightly and the finish cannot be guaranteed to be identical from one product to another. The dyeing is done by natural methods and the final finish may vary depending on the original tone of the leather. The thickness of the steel may vary due to the artisanal manufacturing of our products. Carbon steel is not treated so it may have rust, which is easily removed. You can protect this item from rust with synthetic or mineral oil.
No claims will be accepted for any of the above cases.
