Leather Armour
Leather armour was used by warriors in different countries and in different historical periods. Leather is probably one of the oldest materials from which armour was produced. However, archaeological research can’t provide any specific evidence.
Many types of leather armour were used – it is certain. Leather greaves, cuirasses, gauntlets, helmets, vambraces and boots were leather armour parts that were made most often.
The word cuirass is derived from naming of body protector that was made from boiled leather (in French: cuir). This name has been kept still.
Lower ranks of military units were equipped with leather armour often because the production of such equipment was less expensive than the production of plate armour.
