A [[Coat-of-Plates]], also known as '''Wisby Coat-of-Plate''' (after an archaeological find at [[Wisby]] in [[Gotland]]) or '''False Coat-of-Plate''' (a [[SCAism]]), is a kind of armor made of overlapping narrow metal strips [[sew]]n or [[rivet]]ed to a [[leather]] or [[canvas]] front dating from the 13th and early 14th Centuries. When worn the plates are completely concealed by the [[leather]] covering; the rivets show clearly against the [[textile]] and can be quite visually attractive.

This type of armor is popular in the SCA due to ease of construction and comparatively good protection against blunt impact. Also, because the plates are concealed an armorer can use inexpensive (but also less visually appealing) [[galvanized steel]] or [[plastic]] to make the plates.
