I know you guys HATE the idea of studded leather, but something you may not've considered is the possibility that the armor that's typically refered to as studded leather is actually a brigandine that's made using leather instead of fabric (since leather is specially treated animal hide, I consider it different from fabric). Just a thought for you guys to consider.

I'm currently building a brigandine cuirass for my suit of armor. I would like to mention that brigandines can also be made out of linen (which is what i'm doing), leather, wool, or cotton. These natural fabrics were the most probable materials used to make brigandines. There's also many different variations of styles of brigandines. The reason the cloth is on the outside and the plates are on the inside was because the fabric on the outside helps sinch down the plates and lock them in place. The fabric also allows you to further stylize the look of each individual brigandine.

I've been watching a lot of videos about brigandine. You reminded me of some details I want in my novel. Thanks. BTW, your shell is gorgeous. Enjoy.

Brigandine armour is my favourite armour. It's so practical to wear and use. You made a great choice.

Yeah that brass pops beautifully, its was the first thing I thought and im glad it was a personal choice and handmade for you, very nice

Definitely need to get me one of these. They look so good and I'm kind of going for an armored soldier look. Definitely going to have to check out the maker. Thanks for sharing Metatron!

Brigandine for me is the natural evolution of the Roman segmentata. Therefore it's my armour of choice, together with simetrical plate shoulders and an open face morrion helmet.

Thank you for the video my friend! I love brigandines I think they are marvelous

Great vid, in the end, the brigandine is probably what you’re wearing for an unexpected fight but likely trouble and armor you’re wearing protects you.

Metatron you're a real blessing to all medieval and ancient history lovers, and it's even better given that you provide content for free! i've seen a lot of people look at brigandines and similar armor and think it to be just a fancy shirt. The same bias has been mistakenly popularized for example in the case of other medieval troops like Janissaries.

That armor combination at the beginning is beautiful. That set up would look amazing in any fantasy movie or series

Always loved how the Brigandine looks! Classy!

I Love your channel from Knights to Samurai. I searched the channel to see if you had done videos on the Knights Templars. I found from 5 years ago.
