Sous-plastrons

The sous-plastron is the protective clothing worn under the fencing jacket. It adds an additional layer of protection to the chest, shoulder and upper arm facing the opponent. Some sous-plastrons offer neck protection as well. Sous-plastrons offer more than another layer of protection. They also block against blades entering weak seams in the external jacket as they, by design, cannot have seams in the same location.
