Subarmalis?

-sorry, it was a loaded statement. I was compelled to pull the trigger.<hr><br>
<br>
Well, the wooden buttons I used on my first gambeson broke when hit with a rattan sword, and sharp bits of shattered button were driven into the edge of my pectoral muscle - requiring a set of needlenose pliers to pull the pieces out of my bloody chest.<br>
<br>
The small metal buttons used in an arming coat for an entirely different set of armour left <em>PERFECT</em> little button shaped bruises, with a nice black center where the shank of the button was driven deeper.<br>
<br>
I have long since (12+ years) avoided adding things like buckles, buttons or anything rigid to any sort of foundation garment for wearing under armour...<br>
