Hello, We have just finished our first brigandine.We chose a late model for corresponding well to my harnois of Nuremberg of the end of XVe .
It is fixed on each side by a long lacing. Each plate measures 5cm x 3cm and is attached by 4 aligned rivets. What think about it?
I largely thank you for your criticisms and your assistance which helps us and makes us progress. Cordially

Nice. I have several Questions: you mention a nuremberg harness you wear the brigantine with; do you know of any evidences for brigandines being worn in southern germany?
What material is the brigantine made from, how is the inner finished, and on what does it base (which brigantine still existing?)-------------------- Diu Minnezît

Very nice. I wonder...what evidences is the wool velvet based on? I only know silk velvet form the middle ages, that's why I'm asking.-------------------- Diu Minnezît

Hello Lelong-I am wondering about the "wool velvet" in your brig. Do you mean the fabric the velvet is made from comes from the hair of sheep? If so, I have never heard of velvet made of wool! I wonder if perhaps "wool" is a translation flaw. Could you explain please? This is very interesting! Thank you- Gwen

Wool velvet exists. I did a search on it not too long ago.I think it's early 20th century. J -------------------- ad finem fidelis

Hello,You did a lovely job. I see only one problem with the design - side closure brigandines with plates that small, and with the nauil patterns in single rows dates to the 1490's at earliest, and is most common for the first two decades of the 16th century. You did a very good job at replicating one, and you should be proud of it, but no subject of Valois Burgundy ever wore one, although his son or grandson might have.
