Quilted Eastern Robe for buhurt and training
Quilted Eastern Robe is a utilitarian layer for buhurt/full contact when you need impact damping and wear comfort without sacrificing movement. The design follows a traditional eastern pattern and is based on historical analogs and sources (visual and descriptive references of quilted protective clothing used by eastern peoples, including Mongol traditions).
Outer shell: durable black cotton. Inside: natural thick batting (one layer). This setup helps absorb shock, smooths plate edges, distributes pressure from straps and suspension points, and keeps the armor more stable during grappling.
- Mobility: cut to support active arm work, torso rotation, and clinch fighting with less bulk in bend zones.
- Fit: geometry accounts for common body proportions; sizing lets you choose volume without implying default bespoke measurements.
- Service life: cotton shell tolerates routine use against metal; seams are accessible for field repairs.
- Use case: effective under lamellar, brigandine, or other torso armor; also works as standalone padded wear for drills.
For tournaments, follow your organization’s requirements (HMB, IMCF, ACL, or local rules): passing inspection depends on your full kit configuration and the marshals’ decision at the specific event.
