Steel Vest (TL5). A concealable armor vest, relatively lightweight and cheap. An example is the Soldiers' Bullet Proof Vest, produced by carriage-maker G. & D. Cook & Co. of New Haven, Connecticut during the American Civil War. It was a standard, military-style blue vest with pockets for two steel plates in the front. These overlapped in the center where the vest buttoned. Infantrymen thought it too heavy and hot during long marches – and of little value against musket fire in any event. Nevertheless, it was a common sight on the battlefield. Legend has it that Wyatt Earp wore one, although he vehemently denied it.
