here's what the brig evolved from, the coat of plates, this one from the 1360's - originally, it would've had a fabric outer with smallish plates covering the waist etc.
as with many 15th C brigs, it has a solid breast plate area. the plates themselves would've been butted next to each other - tiny gaps which were solved by making plates overlap.
