		Milanese armour from the 15th century was characterized by smooth rounded lines and functionality. They were practical fighting suits which had upper and lower breastplates attached with vertical leather straps.
		Upper body protection. These custom made brigandines; or more accurately known as a "coat of plates", are similar to those used in "Braveheart"! These armour coats are constructed with thick leather plates riveted to top quality suede leather and then fully lined inside with suede leather. Includes ALL Straps and Buckles. Measurements when ordering:
		Our cuirass was designed to provide a great deal of mobility. The faulds (skirt) and tassets are also completely articulated allowing you to bend over at the waist as well as sit down comfortably.

	Arms & Armour Glossary of Terms
		There are illustrations that show the breastplate worn both over and under of an outer houpelande, but by 1400 the usual practice was to attach the breastplate to the backplate and provide faulds for the defense of the hip, the solution widely implemented during the whole of the 15th century.
		By the end of the century, the breast and backplate had advanced to the point where they were fully encompassing, and with the addition of faulds defended not only the body but the hips as well.
		Breastplate: Originally evolving out of the cote of plates as the size on each individual plate increased and the front plate was increasingly globular, the breastplate was fully formed by 1360 or so but was not in wide use until the 1380s.
