This light brigandine armor was wide spread through Ming and later - Qing cavalry and infantry. Lightweight and flexible, it offers a good protection against indirect spear jabs and bladed attacks. It consisted of rectangular plates of metal, riveted under the fabric layers.
Custom medieval plates’ armor is made-to-measure item. That means that our artisans use individual body parameters and personal regards (picture) of client to handcraft such body protection:

Such brigandine type appeared in the VIIIth century as parade armour for the Chinese Emperor's guards. A thick cloth robe was reinforced with overlapping iron plates. Interestingly, it did not come into wide use until the XIIIth century, when it became widespread in the newborn Mongol Empire under the name of khatangu degel -"robe which is as strong as iron".

If you wish, not a basic, but a custom version of the brigantine, look closer to the model in the photo. Brigandine's cover is made of the best royal blue wool and edged with a wide strip of emerald green wool, edged with thin stripes of golden yellow.
