The Buff coat (so-called because of its yellowish color) was an item of leather clothing worn by both the infantry and cavalry during the 17th century, usually worn under armour.[1] It evolved from the leather jerkins worn by soldiers during the Tudor period[2] to a 3/4 length, close-fitting garment.[3]
It was made of 3mm-thick suede cowhide and provided protection against swords,[4] blunt trauma and possibly long range pistol balls,[5] however as with all armour of the time it was ineffective against musket fire.[6]
Together with the lobster pot helmet and cuirass it formed the basis of the equipment of the New Model Army's Ironside cavalry of the English Civil War. Cavaliers wore similar buff-coats, either privately purchased and decorated with gold lace, or captured from fallen enemies.[7] Both sides issued a sleeveless version to the musketeers in the pike and shot formations of both to give them some protection during hand-to-hand combat.
Buff coats were also worn by civilians, including some of the Pilgrim Fathers due to its plain and simple appearance suggesting equality. It was lined with cotton for warmth and fastened with hooks and eyes as the Puritans viewed buttons as extravagent and vain.[8]
As well as protecting the wearer from bad weather the buff coat was a highly desirable status symbol in the 17th century, making it the ancestor of the modern leather jacket.[9]
