Medieval Padded Arming Chausses – Quilted Canvas Leg Armor Padding for Chainmail & Plate Armor

Step into authentic medieval combat gear with these Padded Arming Chausses, built for warriors who demand both comfort and defense. Inspired by the needs of 14th–15th century infantry and foot soldiers, these quilted leggings offer essential padding beneath chainmail chausses or plate armor, ensuring greater protection without sacrificing mobility.

Crafted from two layers of tough canvas with real padding stitched in between, these chausses deliver reliable defense against impacts and abrasions while remaining flexible enough for movement. Unlike modern synthetic imitations, they are built to withstand the rigors of combat and long wear.

The leather-reinforced loops at the waist allow for easy attachment to belts, padded girdles, or lendenier systems, ensuring adaptability across armor setups. Measuring approx. 83 cm at the front and 67 cm at the back, they provide broad coverage for different body types. The back lacing system further customizes the fit, keeping the leggings secure even during the most rigorous activity.

Functional, protective, and historically inspired, these padded chausses are a vital component for any warrior’s kit, serving as an extra layer beneath armor or as standalone quilted leg protection.

Care Instructions:

• Air out after use to prevent moisture buildup

• Hand wash gently with mild soap if needed; avoid machine washing

• Store in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight

• Ensure padding is fully dry before long-term storage
