Help identifying garment/armour
Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster. I don’t usually feel the need to post because of that beautiful “Search” function. At any rate, I’m not entirely sure what this garment is. Is this a brigandine, or something similar? I feel like it is, but I thought I’d try to get some input (I’m pretty new to 14th Century stuff) It looks to be worn on top of mail shirt and gambeson/aketon. Seems like a lot of protection, but who can blame them? Most of the men in the painting appear to be wearing the same thing.

Thanks fellas!
