Description
This overcoat is fashioned from heavy black suede, a material valued in the forge for its strength and pliability. The padded shoulders and collar are designed not only to shield but also to ease the burden on the wearer, cushioning blows and preventing chafing during long hours of wear. Eight hanging tassets extend from the waist, offering added protection to the hips and upper thighs without hindering movement,crucial for both combat and travel. The front fastens with red leather laces threaded through eyelets, while a pair of false chest lacings adorn the front, echoing the decorative yet functional styles common in medieval garb. This garment fits sizes S/M and is shown here with the Nottingham Hat, a medieval thin long red belt, and the Nottingham Shirt.
Fun fact: The Nottingham Sleeveless Armor Jacket draws its name from Nottingham, a city renowned in medieval times for its skilled leatherworkers and archers, who preferred garments that balanced sturdiness with freedom of movement on the battlefield.
