Here is Wes' pic. It is a good example of an eyelet doublet but doesn't help in regards to this subject. We need an eyelet doublet with rings incorporated into its internal construction, not layered over a separate mail shirt. Does anyone actually know of an eyelet doublet that uses metal rings? All the examples I've seen so far are just a fancy variant of a padded jack.

I would classify this as "banded mail"

I would classify this as "banded armour" or "segmented armour". I agree that a coat of plates can be treated as another variant of segmented armour.

- Trellised (and Riveted); most likely just a Riveted Brigandine Gambeson's "Quilting" thought to be made entirely from Leather.
- Rustred (Imbricated & Riveted Small Metal Lozenge Plates); again, another mistake in thinking that a Riveted Brigandine Gambeson's "Quilting" is made entirely from Metal.
- Macled (Imbricated Small Metal Lozenge Plates w/out Rivets); another Cloth Gambeson's "Quilting" incorrectly identified as being completely made from Metal. |
What do you mean when you say "riveted brigandine gambeson"? Brigandines and gambesons are completely different armours. They don't belong in the same classification.

you need to look closer, magnify, and stop looking and the maille underneath! the rings are there and not interlaced!
I'm looking to familiarize my knowledge of Renaissance weapons and armour.

Thanks Wes. Guys, here is a section that Wes highlighted. It looks like a metal ring to me. There seem to be more exposed rings just to the left of the highlighted section.

take a look at all 4 photos, magnify them (scroll), there is a ring for each star pattern. the rings are almost of the same color as the dark blank spaces of shadow within the center of each star stitching. some of the ring stand-out as cresent shaped lines, but when you magnify its very clear that they "are" rings!

|
|
when i add Jack or Gambeson to a label, it's because i find that many types of armour use a backing or foundation similar to that of a Jack, Gambeson, Jerkin, etc.. a small version of Brigandine is commonly called a Jack-of-plates (emphasis on "Jack"). a larger type of Brigandine used a backing similar to that of a Gambeson. it's like saying Doublet or Coat. although many types of armour used padded cloth garments as backing, some also used leather.

That picture is of the same armor as the magnification? If so, it certainly seems like it matches your description, and is something I'll say I've never seen before... Very cool looking.

It is an attempt to construct one of the types of armour that Meyrick made up. It isn't historical.

Is it supposed to be banded mail? Is it functional? Anyone know much about who, when, how, or why these things were made?

Is it just me, or have they been discussed in a previous thread? I recall seeing multiple images like these (of a whole series of armours, not just this one) explained in a thread somewhere, though possibly not here. They're all hilariously wrong 19th- or early 20th-century reconstructions based upon the state of knowledge in that era.
