A brigandine skirt is a practical add-on when your torso brigandine ends too high. It adds coverage for the pelvis and upper thigh, reducing bruising and edge hits in clinch work. Belt-mounted construction keeps the hips mobile for stepping, crouching, and pivots when tightened correctly. The belt is included; several material and finish options are available. Straps and hardware are serviceable on demand.

Product description

Brigandine skirt is a utilitarian add-on for cases where a torso brigandine does not reach low enough. It extends coverage to the pelvis and the upper thigh—areas that take frequent contact in full-contact melee: clinch pressure, body checks, and glancing impacts along plate edges.

The geometry is based on historical brigandine skirts/faulds and comparable late medieval solutions, guided by period sources and surviving analogs. The shape follows the belt line and hip anatomy for stable seating in motion, without implying a fully bespoke, per-person build.

  • Protection: adds a working layer over hip bones and upper thigh to reduce painful direct hits and fabric damage.
  • Mobility: belt-mounted design preserves hip range for steps, squats, and turns when adjusted correctly.
  • Fit: adjustable by belt tension and strap setup; compatible with most torso brigandines as an external skirt module.
  • Serviceability: straps and hardware are maintainable and can be replaced as wear items.

You can choose the outer color. Belt is included. Several material and build options are available depending on availability and your weight/durability priorities.

Tournament checks: the item is intended for full-contact historical formats; final compliance depends on configuration, edge condition, and the rules of a specific organizer—approval is determined during the marshal inspection.
