Historically accurate, hardened carbon steel plates designed for re-enactment combat. Perfect for both eastern and western ancients and early middle ages re-enactments.

Lamellar armour is a kind of personal body armour consisting of small plates (lames) which are laced together in parallel rows. Lamellar armour evolved from scale armour, from which it differs by not needing a backing for the scales. Lamellar is pictured in many historical sources on Byzantine warriors, especially heavy cavalry. It is thought that it was worn to create a more deflective surface to the rider's armour, thus allowing blades to skim over, rather than strike and pierce.

Each package contains between 95 and 100 plates and weighs approx. 2.4kgs.

Size: ~100 mm long x ~30 mm wide x ~1 mm thick
Hole diameter: ~4.5 mm

Tips on estimating requirements based on size:
You need to establish columns and rows needed, taking note that shoulders require fewer columns than the torso.
1. Estimating number of rows, measure the height in centimetres and divide by 6. (e.g. 30cm / 6 = 5 rows).
2. Estimating number of columns, measure width or circumference in centimetres and divide by 2.2. (e.g. 88cm / 2.2 = 40 columns).
