Eastern-Style Torso Armor

This category covers eastern torso armor for full-contact armored fighting, built around solutions referenced to historical sources and surviving analogs. You’ll see approaches like lamellar, ringmail/plate constructions, and bakhterets-style assemblies, where overlap and articulation help spread impact.

In the clinch you need protection without locking the shoulders. Plate layout and flexible zones at the sides and hem keep your upper body active for shield work and weapon control, which matters in buhurt exchanges as much as in duels.

The geometry is drawn with anatomy in mind—chest volume, shoulder line, scapula movement—so the armor sits consistently over padding. Standard sizes plus strap or lacing adjustment let you dial in a stable fit without implying a bespoke build for every buyer. Before production we can confirm sizing and compatibility with a gorget, pauldrons, and belt protection.

For day-to-day use, durability and serviceability matter: damaged lamellae, plates, rings, or fasteners can be replaced locally, and seasonal maintenance usually comes down to edge check, rivet inspection, and renewing laces. The pieces are made with common safety expectations for tournament equipment checks in mind (including formats like HMB and IMCF), while final acceptance depends on the event ruleset and on-site inspection.
