      'leather lamellar is a reenactorism."
      In this case, it really isn't, though the type of leather used wasn't what was used at the time.
      For starters, it was lacquered with some sort of protective layer that made it very hard. And the Arabic used could refer to either leather, or (more likely) rawhide; there was even a variant that involved applying such lacquer to cloth rags (so yeah, the Arabs used rag armor XD).

      But you cant convince me he did not cut the plates to shape with kitchen scissors and laced it together. In that brief moment when he is putting it on his body i can see how thin and floppy it is. Even if he had metal maille under it, a needle bodkin shot from a 50pound hunting bow will punch right through and poke through his ribcage/get stuck in a rib.

    As a mostly African historical enthusiast, I own a Kaskara that apparently was inspired by the either early Medieval Arab straight swords or Mamluk straight… originally Arabs used straight swords before curved blades were introduced from Iran and Central Asia, like the Persian Shamshir or Kılıç of the Turks, so it’s amazing to see how East Africa continued to carry on the legacy of the Arab straight sword while it became complete replaced by curved swords in the Middle East.
    But the question I wanted to ask is during the Umayyad period what types of shields do Arab warriors use in battle???
    This is the first I’m learning that Shields were made of leather… I always thought they used shields similar to those used in ancient India, but perhaps slightly bigger and rounded, produced from casting model made of either bronze or carved from wood.

    Byzantine Christians wore a similar armor at least in the case of the lower class. The higher class wore scale armor mixed with plate. Except the peasants at least had the decency of wearing a metal helmet. Most middle eastern kingdoms could careless about their men and often fought each other with hoard tactics or with overwhelming calvary mixed with horse archery. The mongols and Turkics loved their horse archery and defeated many kingdoms with it till much later when eastern knights started wearing plate armor and so did their horses. A little hard to kill a knight or horse when it is covered in armor. Eastern Europeans also used horse archery.

      Dude...its upside down, as a maille maker and owner myself,
      Chainmaille was effectively works against slashing but not piercing/stabbing(especially if the blow huts directly in the rings...which was 70% of its properties) so it depends on the strengths of the metal bondings. The best thing about Chainmaile it was easier to maintain and the most versatile and mobility armor. Thats why it was used by human for around 2000 years,the longest serving armor ever even after the creation of plate armor.
      About the leather??? If it was a normal cow hide then nah....to make it alone need cuttings, how do you expect it works against slashing?😅

    Thats not real chainmail huh? Looks like a shirt thats supposed to mimic chainmail. You should buy real chainmail it will make it more authentic and give you a an idea what these warriors went through. Then you'll have even more respect for them. Looks good man. 😁👍

    Helmets were by far the most important piece, it is said that it's better to go into battle butt naked with a helmet than fully armored without a helmet.

      Well, I don't know how good the armor actually was compared to what the Crusaders used, but it wasn't simple leather. There are a few instructions from a guy named al-Tarsusi, which he put into a manual which was his CV for Saladin.
      Here's one recipe (which I've massively simplified, having translated it for one Mr. Petrou):
      1-you make the individual lamellae out of either horse/donkey hide, or rags (yes, rags: any textile will do, he doesn't specify).
      2-On the lamellae, you lacquer/paint on layers of a dark-colored material that is made of powdered hide, powdered sinew, iron filings (two different types), crushed glass, crushed spleen (don't ask), two types of glue (one of which provides the color), and I'm sure a few other things. You have to mix the components separately in two different mixtures, then mix the two mixtures together till homogenized; this you do right before you apply the lot to the lamellae.
      To make the holes, you then punch them into the lamellae when they're partly dried (otherwise it would be too brittle, I'm guessing).
      The guy specifically states that this armor will turn arrows, spears, and swords. He even recommends this method to make helmets--and indeed, there are surviving examples from the Damascus Castle of just such helmets. We also know of similar material in use for vambraces.
      The shields were--at least according to al-Tarsusi), largely made of sinew in a ply construction, not just hide; the hide only holds the layers of sinew together, and is held in place with fish glue; the glue that held the sinew layers to themselves was to be alternately impregnated with powdered iron filings, powdered glass, powdered spleen (again, don't ask), and powdered marble. He recommends horse or donkey hide. He also said that while this was enough, you can also line the back of the shield with lead plates (which would then be glued in place with mugworts glue, and held by an additional layer of horse/donkey hide glued in place).
      I'm actually thinking of trying to replicate the recipies: I can get the material and already have the equipment handy, so why not?

      They both had chain mail. This isn't the knights in half of fullplate armor. This was the 11th and 12th century. The first plate armor appeared in the late 13th century. While the knights armor covered more like the hands, to the feet and even head, it wasn't like the arabs were wearing paper. Most leather armor wasn't worn by itself and was either used as an over-layer (just like in the short) or as an underlayer, along with padding. No armor was worn without padding, as it would be unconfortable and hurt, as the padding provided a softening of the attack before it the the person wearing it. Main armor wasn't the leather but the mail.

    This is not the Saudi Arabian war uniform. The Saudi war uniform is the dress, the shemagh, the headband, a shield on the belly only, the dagger or knife in the middle, the sword on the side, and the spear on the back.
