The flutings may have originated as a means of imitating the pleatings of male costume of the day. It became apparent, however, that the flutings were also a strengthening device, similar to corrugated metal. This enabled the armorer to use plates of thinner\u2014and therefore lighter\u2014steel. Such suits of armor demanded time-consuming and highly precise work from the armorer, which in turn quickly drove the production costs high enough that the fashion disappeared by 1540.", "external_resources": {"wikidata": ["https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q60755266"], "internet_archive": ["https://archive.org/details/clevelandart-1916.1714-partial-suit-of-armo"]}, "citations": [{"citation": "Charles Alexander, Baron de Cosson (1843-1929).", "page_number": "Cat.
