Join the Leeds Brigandine as they return to the battlefields of the 1400s, a piece of armor that perfectly blends flexibility, protection, and medieval authenticity. Popular among both men-at-arms and noble retinues, brigandines were the favored choice of the late Middle Ages, offering soldiers a strong defense while still allowing the agility needed for combat.
This reproduction features a suede leather shell reinforced with 18-gauge mild steel plates, riveted in a historically accurate pattern. Depending on the size, each brigandine holds 147–149 plates, carefully arranged to distribute weight evenly while ensuring reliable coverage.
Designed for both display and practical use, the front and shoulder leather straps with metal buckles allow for a secure, adjustable fit whether worn over a gambeson or lighter arming garments. Its riveted design not only enhances durability but also lends the piece a battle-worn, authentic medieval look.
