Around 1420 the surcoat, or coat of arms as it was known in England , began to disappear, in favour of uncovered plate. Areas not covered by plate were protected by mail armour mail sewn to the gambeson underneath. During the fifteenth century national styles of armour emerged. White armour was a term used synonymously with Italy Italian design, which was innovative in expanding the use of plate armour to cover joints that had been previously protected by mail. The descriptive term white armour referred both to the absence of a surcoat and the absence of decorative trimmings the rival Germany German style was fluted, both for aesthetic reasons and for structural advantage in resisting crushing blows. These two approaches to armouring remained recognizable throughout the fifteenth century. Eventually each borrowed the other s innovations.

Transitional armour describes the armour used in Europe around the 14th century, as body armour moved from simple maille hauberk s to full platearmourplate . File Transitional Cuirass.jpg thumb Transitional Cuirass The poleyn was added to the hauberk to better protect the elbows, and splinted armour and the coat of plates provided increased protection for other areas. Armourers in general began experimenting with various forms of rigid defense. They worked in a variety of materials, including wrought iron, latten, leather, cloth and even bone to substitute rigid materials for maille as the knight s harness progressed. Toward the end of the century and into the following one, updates to armour took place at an accelerated rate. The use of multiple materials is the key stylistic element of the period. For instance, a set of transitional style arm defenses could employ steel pauldrons , leather rerebraces , steel elbow cop s and leather vambraces . These items would be strapped with leather and might have brass or bronze fittings and buckles. This use of varied materials gave the armour different coloring, textures and more elegant appearance.
