Joseon Dynasty Armour
Armour from the Joseon dynasty consisted of a heavy canvas coat with iron plates on the inside. The iron plates held together by iron studs that were visible on the outside.
Two notable types were "dujeong-gap"(두정갑) and "durumagi"(두루마기). Both bore similar resemblance, except for the fact that the durumagi had additional scale armour.

Famous quotes containing the word armour:
“The man whose silent days
In harmless joys are spent,
Whom hopes cannot delude,
Nor sorrow discontent:
That man needs neither towers
Nor armour for defence,
Nor secret vaults to fly
From thunder’s violence.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
