White armour White armour , or " alwyte armour " , was a form of plate armour worn in the Late Middle Ages characterized by full - body steel plate without a surcoat . Around 1420 the surcoat , or " coat of arms " as it was known in England , began to disappear , in favour of uncovered plate . Areas not covered by plate were protected by mail sewn to the gambeson underneath . During the fifteenth century national styles of armour emerged . White armour was a term used synonymously with Italian design , which was innovative in expanding the use of plate armour to cover joints that had been previously protected by mail . The descriptive term " white armour " referred both to the absence of a surcoat and the absence of decorative trimmings : the rival German style was fluted , both for aesthetic reasons and for structural advantage in resisting crushing blows . These two approaches to armouring remained recognizable throughout the fifteenth century . Eventually each borrowed the other ' s innovations . By the early sixteenth century the distinction became obsolete . Black and white armour is a different term , for late 16th and 17th century armour that uses a contrast between highly burnished " white " and unpolished " black " areas for decorative effect in large bold patterns over the armour .
