Leather and Bone Armor - Not Just Fantasy!

Описание: Non-metal armor in history came in a variety of different forms, most commonly fabric based, like gambesons for instance. Leather breastplates and vambraces ("bracers") are everywhere in movies and video games, generally presented inaccurately. There is limited evidence of leather and even bone armor though, and we'll take a look at it.
