Ned Kelly wore armour made from steel mould boards. Mouldboards are the metal part of a plough that digs into the soil and turns it over. Ned Kelly and his gang spent some months before their final siege fashioning these mouldboards into four suits of wearable armour.
The armour consisted of a helmet, a frontpiece and a backpiece. There was another separate plate, hung on straps, to protect the groin area. The plates were held together with straps and wire, one with shoulder tips and the other with side plates that joined the front and back plates. Ned Kelly was believed to wear a skullcap, possibly knitted, underneath the helmet. The helmets had holes and were thought to have been lined.
