Padded Waist Belt, Belt for Chauses, Arming Gardle Padded Belt, 12th-15th cen.

This arming gardle padded belt is ideal for fastening leg armour, chain mail leggings etc. so that they do not slip down. Thanks to the clever C-shaped cut, the weight of the laced armour is distributed around the waist. Wearing plate or chain mail legs is then much more comfortable than if they were just hanging from a normal leather belt. By lacing the leg armour with this belt, the position of the armour is also fixed. The armour will not slip as if it were only hanging from a leather belt. The belt is made of strong cotton and is padded on the inside with recycled cotton. It is available in two colours and four sizes. More information...
