For the most part, the Gaelic peoples fought without armour, instead wearing saffron coloured belted tunics called leine. Armour was usually a simple affair: the poorest might have worn padded coats; the wealthier might have worn boiled leather armour called cuir bouilli; and the wealthiest might have had access to bronze chest plates and perhaps mail (though it did exist in Ireland, it was rare). So why not be wealthy and wear this beautiful studded leather armour jacket to your next battle? |
