About the Advanced Brigandine “Wimbledon”

The armor is fastened in front of the fighter with the help of straps. The plates are placed horizontally with a large overlap. This is a distinctive feature of the Wimbledon. Due to this design, the armor is fitted to the body, suits well, and perfectly protects you. All plates of this brigandine are enlarged compared to medieval ones. Thus, the strike is distributed over a larger area of body armor and loses its power.

The plates are made from lightweight and reliable materials, such as hardened spring steel or titanium.

Thickness: from 0.8 mm in front to 1.5 mm on the back. This is especially important because the brigandine is the heaviest part of the armor. With these materials, you can make your equipment lighter by 2.5-3 kg compared to mild steel.

The large number of elements and their strategic placement contribute to the “Wimbledon’s” good mobility. You will be able to bend, bow down, and move in combat without any difficulty.

Unlike the historical analog, we extended body protection and added an extra plate to protect the tailbone. This helps the armor better protect the hip joint in combat, especially when you are bending or wrestling. The brigandine plates are riveted with leather softening on the cloth base. This prevents tearing of the cloth, ensuring your “Wimbledon” will serve you longer. The base is made of a layer of wool and lasting tarpaulin, glued together for greater durability.

This model is lightweight, comfortable, and well-protected. It is suitable for both single combat and large-scale battles (or buhurts).

If you need mobility and reliability in battle, the Advanced Brigandine “Wimbledon” is your choice.

Body Armor FAQ

How should I take the measurements for my body armor?

Before we begin, ensure you have your actual padded under-armor kit ready: gambeson, chausses, and c-belt. Using anything else like modern jackets, sweatpants, or layered sweaters won’t provide the accurate measurements needed for fitting your brigantine. If you’re planning to order both your padded kit and brigantine from our shop simultaneously, sending your bare body measurements is acceptable. However, please inform us of this so we can properly adjust the sizing based on your true dimensions.

Additional Tips:

When taking measurements, stand relaxed with good posture.
Make sure the measuring tape is snug but not tight.
If you’re unsure about any measurements, it’s always best to err on the side of being slightly larger.
Consider having someone else take your measurements for greater accuracy.

This table should give you a good starting point for taking all the necessary measurements for your medieval body armor. Remember, precise measurements are crucial for a comfortable and well-fitting suit of armor.

Required measurements:

A. Body Weight: Stand on a scale without shoes or other heavy clothing.

B. Full Body Height: Stand straight, barefoot, with your back against a wall. Have someone measure from the top of your head to the floor.

D. Neck Circumference: Measure around the base of the neck, just above the collarbone.

E. Shoulder Width (Back): Measure from the seam of one shoulder pad to the seam of the other, across the back.

R. Shoulder Width (Front): Measure from the seam of one shoulder pad to the seam of the other, across the chest.

O. Chest Width (Arms Together): Measure the front of the chest with arms holding each other, from armpit to armpit.

F. Maximum Chest Circumference: Measure around the chest at its fullest point, usually while breathing in.

G. Waist Circumference: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, above the hips.

H. Maximum Hip Circumference: Measure around the widest part of your hips, usually at the level of your buttocks.

U. Neckline to Waistline: Measure from the lowest point of the neckline just under the neck to the waistline, usually above the belly button.

X. Neckline to Groin Line: Measure from the lowest point of the neckline just under the neck to the groin line, where you want the armor to end. This helps ensure the pelvis is covered.
