If that was the case we would see exaggerating cod pieces in many more types of armor. Oh and a hole in the gambeson.
Really this was just the rolled sock of the day. It was all over mens fashion at the time.

It somehow feels very appropriate that you called them cad pieces.
Ha. I didn’t even notice. I think my phone autocorrected.
Doesn’t pass the smell test for me. Erections are the result of nitric oxide release relaxing vasculature to allow more blood to flow in no?
