Russia: Scary Siberian Bear Hunting Armor From The 1800s
The object is being called a Siberian bear-hunting suit, but I suspect it is more likely to be for bear bating than hunting, since I can&rsquo;t imagine anyone could run around the woods in it. It consists of leather pants and jacket (and an iron helmet) studded all over with 1-inch iron nails about 3/4 in. apart. The nails are held in place by a second layer of leather lining the whole thing and quilted into place between the nails. (via BuzzFeed)
