Brigandine
Armor of small iron plates riveted between fabric layers
The brigandine consists of small iron plates riveted between two layers of cloth or leather, widely used in 14th-16th century Europe. Its distinctive exterior features rows of regularly spaced rivet heads. More affordable and flexible than full plate armor, it was popular among infantry, lower-ranking knights, and archers as an evolution of the earlier coat of plates.
