leather lamellar is a reenactorism. get some good iron/steel/bronze lamellae and make a vest that is more than just a heatstroke inducer. also as the guy says below, get some real maille. it will be heavier but will let air flow better through it than your current substitute..

[@AIA1990]

in his longer video he explains more or less that he uses leather to represent the overall look because he can not acquire the real deal

[@Albukhshi]

'leather lamellar is a reenactorism." In this case, it really isn't, though the type of leather used wasn't what was used at the time. For starters, it was lacquered with some sort of protective layer that made it very hard. And the Arabic used could refer to either leather, or (more likely) rawhide; there was even a variant that involved applying such lacquer to cloth rags (so yeah, the Arabs used rag armor XD).

[@hilmarheathkliff9511]

@@Albukhshi dude the lamellar scales he has in this video are thinner and softer than my mothers couch. your addition of the lacquered rags brings to my mind the ancient greek linothorax. might be a similar idea there.

[@Albukhshi]

@@hilmarheathkliff9511 Well, that's why I wrote it didn't look quite like that. The main point is simply that leather armor isn't a reenactorism per se.

[@hilmarheathkliff9511]

@@Albukhshi honestly i wouldnt have a problem if he had hardened the leather in his lamellar with something. But you cant convince me he did not cut the plates to shape with kitchen scissors and laced it together. In that brief moment when he is putting it on his body i can see how thin and floppy it is. Even if he had metal maille under it, a needle bodkin shot from a 50pound hunting bow will punch right through and poke through his ribcage/get stuck in a rib.

[@bronsonleach3573]

Byzantine Christians wore a similar armor at least in the case of the lower class. The higher class wore scale armor mixed with plate. Except the peasants at least had the decency of wearing a metal helmet. Most middle eastern kingdoms could careless about their men and often fought each other with hoard tactics or with overwhelming calvary mixed with horse archery. The mongols and Turkics loved their horse archery and defeated many kingdoms with it till much later when eastern knights started wearing plate armor and so did their horses. A little hard to kill a knight or horse when it is covered in armor. Eastern Europeans also used horse archery.

the leather protects against slashes, and the chain mail protects against stabs, perfectly balanced.

[@muhammadahmad1851]

Dude...its upside down, as a maille maker and owner myself, Chainmaille was effectively works against slashing but not piercing/stabbing(especially if the blow huts directly in the rings...which was 70% of its properties) so it depends on the strengths of the metal bondings. The best thing about Chainmaile it was easier to maintain and the most versatile and mobility armor. Thats why it was used by human for around 2000 years,the longest serving armor ever even after the creation of plate armor. About the leather??? If it was a normal cow hide then nah....to make it alone need cuttings, how do you expect it works against slashing?😅

What's really good about having a scarf of turban in battle, is the fact you have a spare piece of cloth.

To carry a baby to safety and many more things that you can do with just some cloth

These guys had leather while the crusaders had metal and they still won

[@Albukhshi]

Well, I don't know how good the armor actually was compared to what the Crusaders used, but it wasn't simple leather. There are a few instructions from a guy named al-Tarsusi, which he put into a manual which was his CV for Saladin. Here's one recipe (which I've massively simplified, having translated it for one Mr. Petrou): 1-you make the individual lamellae out of either horse/donkey hide, or rags (yes, rags: any textile will do, he doesn't specify). 2-On the lamellae, you lacquer/paint on layers of a dark-colored material that is made of powdered hide, powdered sinew, iron filings (two different types), crushed glass, crushed spleen (don't ask), two types of glue (one of which provides the color), and I'm sure a few other things. You have to mix the components separately in two different mixtures, then mix the two mixtures together till homogenized; this you do right before you apply the lot to the lamellae. To make the holes, you then punch them into the lamellae when they're partly dried (otherwise it would be too brittle, I'm guessing). The guy specifically states that this armor will turn arrows, spears, and swords. He even recommends this method to make helmets--and indeed, there are surviving examples from the Damascus Castle of just such helmets. We also know of similar material in use for vambraces. The shields were--at least according to al-Tarsusi), largely made of sinew in a ply construction, not just hide; the hide only holds the layers of sinew together, and is held in place with fish glue; the glue that held the sinew layers to themselves was to be alternately impregnated with powdered iron filings, powdered glass, powdered spleen (again, don't ask), and powdered marble. He recommends horse or donkey hide. He also said that while this was enough, you can also line the back of the shield with lead plates (which would then be glued in place with mugworts glue, and held by an additional layer of horse/donkey hide glued in place). I'm actually thinking of trying to replicate the recipies: I can get the material and already have the equipment handy, so why not?

[@leonvoelker7639]

They both had chain mail. This isn't the knights in half of fullplate armor. This was the 11th and 12th century. The first plate armor appeared in the late 13th century. While the knights armor covered more like the hands, to the feet and even head, it wasn't like the arabs were wearing paper. Most leather armor wasn't worn by itself and was either used as an over-layer (just like in the short) or as an underlayer, along with padding. No armor was worn without padding, as it would be unconfortable and hurt, as the padding provided a softening of the attack before it the the person wearing it. Main armor wasn't the leather but the mail.
