Ichcahuipilli

Mesoamerican military armor made out of cotton

The ichcahuīpīlli, known in Spanish as escaupil, was a Mesoamerican military soft body armor similar to the European gambeson that was commonly used by the Aztecs and the Tlaxcaltecs. It was also constructed of densely packed, unspun cotton stitched between two layers of fabric. The name is derived from the Nahuatl words ichcatl "cotton" and huīpīlli "shirt".
