description

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".

Same brigantine vest purported to be owned by a Yuan-period Tibetan Prince of Bailang.

J’ai commandé cette armure afin d’avoir une réplique d’armure chinoise protectrice et avec peu d’entretien. Ce modèle est inspiré d’une peinture de la dynastie Ming et optimiser pour avoir une bonne protection et un poids raisonnable. Au final 12kg d’armure (acier de 1 mm) pour une protection qui va jusqu’au genoux. En terme de mobilité elle est parfaite et permet tous mouvements utiles (roulade faisable sans aucunes gènes). I ordered this armor to have a protective and low-maintenance Chinese armor replica. This model is inspired by a painting from the Ming Dynasty and optimized for good protection and a reasonable weight. So it weight 12kg (1mm steel) for a protection that goes up to the knees. In terms of mobility it is perfect and allows all useful movements (i can roll with no problems).
