Visby Brigandine Type 3

Description

The Visby Brigandine Type 3 is a historically grounded interpretation of 14th-century torso armor, based on archaeological discoveries made at the Battle of Visby site on Gotland. This version continues the tradition of using overlapping steel plates riveted between a strong outer shell of canvas, wool, or leather, offering both formidable defense and wearer comfort.

Unlike heavier suits of full plate armor, this brigandine provides a balanced blend of flexibility and protection, allowing for active movement during battle reenactments or roleplay scenarios. Type 3 stands out with its refined rivet pattern and improved internal plate layout for enhanced coverage around vital areas like the ribs and lower torso.

Designed for practicality as well as authenticity, the brigandine features adjustable closures and a contoured cut that allows a snug, customized fit. Whether you’re a reenactor, fighter, or collector of historical armor, the Visby Brigandine Type 3 is a superior choice for 14th-century European impressions.
