What century is MRL's Leather Brigandine suppose to come from? To me it looks like a cruder coat-of-plates design form the 1300's.

Can anyone set me strait? And has anyone here owned one?

My superficial first impression also: Not necessarily a bad thing just mislabelled maybe.

yes i believe you are correct.

it seems to be more of a coat of plates rather than a brig. it was prob labeled as such for the braveheart crowds and MRL already had a C.O.P.

In teh ARmour of Visby book there are i believe over 50 versions of a COP.
