From Jeff's research, underlapping is consistent with earlier faulds, while overlapping became the predominant method later in the 15th century.

Time for some brain work on why they changed over and how it affects movement. :D Thanks!

Here James, dated to the last quarter of the 14th century from the Pistoia silver altarpiece, an example of an underlapping fauld on a breasplate.  The bottom photo is the documented use of the strapping configuration on my copy:

Hey Ian, Jeff Hildebrandt is working on a similar breastplate with fauld for me now, and we've been discussing how to attach the fauld historically. So I'm curious, how did Jeff Wasson attach yours?

My new Galaxy Note 3 doesn't want to call you "Sir Iran" like my old phone. Cheers!

I'm glad to hear that I'm once again American :)

The fauld lames are floated on three leathers and fixed with rivets.
