The front, back, and shoulder sections are fully assembled, with adjustable leather cord fastenings along the sides and shoulders for a customizable fit. Lamellar Construction Lamilar armor is constructed from hundreds of small overlapping steel plates called lamellae. Each plate is individually punched and laced together using genuine leather cords, creating a flexible defensive garment. Made from polished 20 gauge steel, the overlapping plates of the La milar armor provide the distinctive look that made lamellar armor one of history’s most known forms of protection. The leather lacing allows the armor to move naturally with the wearer. Inspired by Historical Armor Medieval lamellar armor was widely used across Asia, the Byzantine Empire, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and parts of medieval Europe. Instead of attaching plates to a fabric backing, individual steel or leather plates were laced directly together to create a flexible protective shell. Its excellent mobility, durability, and ease of repair made lamellar armor a preferred choice. Perfect for Reenactment & Costume This steel lamellar armor is designed for those who seek both historical inspiration and visual look. The polished steel finish, overlapping construction, and genuine leather lacing make it ideal for a wide range of uses. Care Instructions Wipe steel plates dry after use. Apply a light coat of oil occasionally to help protect the steel. Keep the leather cords dry and condition them periodically with leather conditioner. Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture. Note: Each lamellar armor is crafted with attention to detail by hand therefore minor variations in steel finish, leather colour, and hand-lacing are natural .
