Leather and steel legs with knee pads - Red suede

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.

The legs we offer with this model are somewhat reminiscent of those worn in the representation of Sir Thomas Cheyne, in which you can see legs made of what appear to be five pieces, with the plates on the inside of the piece and with a decorative border at the end.
