I'm confused about how the lamellar field relates to the body armor. Should the link be disabled?

^ I don't think the link should be disabled,

However: the armour is likely referred to as lamellar (if it ever actually is...) due to the crystaline-structure of the iron alloy rather than gill structered layout of the Iron plates.

Ideally, a Chemistry cognicient Traditional Japanese Metal-Smith will (if tradition, conscience and responsabilities permit) explain here the crystaline structure of Japanese metals and Laquers.

And, Has anyone ever isolated Kevlar out of Japanese Laquer? It doesn't seem too far from possible.

I will not change the article. Whoever comprehends Japanese Metal and Chemistries should be the ones who do. V

I'm interested in knowing where they used leather lamellar and when, if at all. All help? R
