THICKNESS MAPPING OF BODY ARMOUR:
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF EIGHT BREASTPLATES
FROM THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF SLOVENIA
Publications of historical armour often provide sur-
prisingly little in the way of relevant technical or sta-
tistical data. For instance, the weight of armour, a vital
and truly basic piece of information, has been ignored
by a great many authors, or at best treated in a rather
cursory manner.1 Sir James Mann’s catalogue of the
Wallace Collection armoury is one of the few early
exceptions, listing the weight of every single item on
display.2 Such is not necessarily the case even today, in
specialist literature otherwise of the highest standard.
The thickness of plate defences is perhaps an even
greater mystery, as well as a matter of considerable
speculation and misunderstanding. Only a handful of
recent publications have addressed this subject to any
major degree.3 Moreover, even in those few instances

when clear reference is made to the thickness of plate
armour, the reported values are generally restricted to
the maximal values measured on the specimen.
This is quite problematic, for the maximal thickness
of medieval or early modern body defences is rarely
representative of the entire piece, let alone the complete
harness. A closer inspection of historical plate armour
generally reveals that the elements covering the vital
areas, particularly the central section of the breastplate,
were deliberately made much thicker than those cover-
ing the extremities or less vulnerable parts of the body.
Such design principles allowed the armour mak-
ers to achieve an optimal distribution of mass and
protection, obtaining the highest degree of security
at the lightest possible weight. These considerations
were extremely important to the overall functionality
of armour. Modern soldiers face similar challenges in
the quest toward developing efective body protection
without sacrifcing the wearer’s mobility – a problem to
which no single defnite, entirely satisfactory solution
has been found so far, and perhaps will never be. How-
ever, the fghting men of the medieval and early mod-
ern period must have felt these constraints even more
Abstract: There is relatively little information available on the weight and thickness of historical plate armour. The purpose of the present
study is to present a detailed analysis of eight torso defences from the National Museum of Slovenia dating from the early 16th to the mid-
19th century. Each artefact has been measured in detail and its thickness mapping is presented in graphical diagrams. Furthermore, 3D mod-
elling has been used experimentally to estimate the height of individuals expected to wear the armour. T
