Scale mail, thigh length Jarl"
|
The scale mail consists of hundreds of small scales, which are riveted to an elastic base made of natural leather. Each scale has a convex form, and looks like a spoon. Due to the elastic base and a special way of riveting, the rows of scales are flexible. If You bend on any side, the rows fold together. In that way the scale mail combines two qualities: perfect flexibility and high level of protection.
The thickness of steel scales is 0,8 mm. So, the total thickness of the metal in some places is over a few mm.
If You get hit the scales distribute the impact on a big area, thus decreasing the force of an impact. In combination with the gambeson from Paladin-Armoury and special pauldrons, scale mail is used by the Paladin – Armour warriors for full contact fights as an adequate substitution for plate armour.
The Pauldrons and the skirt of scale mail are decorated with the leather fringes.
For our Plate Armour we use metal with the following characteristic:
