Brigandine is a form of body armour which is made up of either
canvas or leather which was worn over gambeson and mail shirt worn

The leggings of maille armour were usually called "chausses",
and were indeed an armour reserved for wealthier knights initially,
but were considered a lower quality of armour as coats of plates,
brigandine and full plate harnesses gradually came out (with
similar style parts covering the legs).
