    In Europe, use of mail hauberks continued up through the 14th century, when plate armor began to supplant it. Some knights continued to wear chain hauberks, however, underneath plate armor.[13] It remained in usage until the Renaissance.[10]

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hauberk

    Translated from german with DeepL:

    Milanese armour was characterised by its round, bulky shape and asymmetrical construction. A full suit of chain mail was also usually worn underneath the Milanese armour. In Germany, the Gothic armour was predominant, as well as later on the cuirass. The Gothic armour was characterised by its slimmer and more delicate construction. In addition, a complete chain mail shirt was rarely worn under the Gothic armour; more often, chain mail pieces were attached to the doublet in such a way that they covered the weak points of the armour.

    Here is an example picture of a Milanese Armour: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giano_II_di_Campofregoso#/media/File%3AHJRK_A_11_-_Armour_of_Giano_II_di_Campofregoso.jpg

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world
