Blackened lamellar torso armor for full contact

Lamellar armor is a work-oriented torso solution for full-contact historical fighting, developed with reference to historical sources and period analogs across Eurasia, where lamellar patterns were used for centuries, especially in eastern traditions. This model combines lamellar plates with sections executed in a scale-style approach, balancing coverage and movement on the body.

Mobility comes from segmentation: the armor behaves as linked elements rather than a single rigid shell, so it follows bends, twists, and arm work with fewer dead spots. In clinch-heavy fighting that matters for reducing unwanted catching and keeping your breathing mechanics more consistent.

Durability and service: lamellar is valued for maintainability. Lacing and individual plates are service items—damaged parts can be replaced locally instead of rebuilding the whole torso. That keeps downtime lower after hard sparring or tournament weekends.

Blackened finish increases resistance to everyday corrosion: less surface “flash rust” from moisture and sweat, and simpler post-training cleanup. Dry wipe and standard steel protection routines remain recommended.

Fit and integration: the plate geometry accounts for typical body contours and contact points (chest, ribs, waist) to help the armor sit stable when the size is chosen correctly and the suspension is tuned. By agreement, plate size can be adjusted to match the intended look and assembly layout of the kit.

Event compliance: suitable for buhurt and related rule sets in general terms, but final acceptance always depends on the organizer’s checks (edge finishing, required coverage, padding, fastening). Verify requirements for your specific event before inspection.
