HTTP://WWW.KHUKRIWALA.COM/MEDIEVAL-BODY-ARMOR1.HTML
Simplicity of construction and practical hard wearing design.
A very small amount of stitching at the back of the heel.
Stitching rots and wears faster than the leather, the sole and the upper become separated, because said stitching has given up.
