It would really depend on your time period Sir William.  That blog actually covers three different brigs.  Generally brigandines are also more of a late 14th - 16th century type of deal.  If you fit in that time frame, go for it!  My friend has a gorgeous jack of plates (similar in construction to a brig) that just fits oh so nice :D

Sir William:
I can fit in just about any time frame given enough time and money (and materials)!  ;)

I have a Visby style coat of plates that I'm liking quite a bit, if only because it fits me so well despite not having been made for me and I can barely tell I'm wearing it by weight alone.  Got it so I could get into harnisfechten with our brethren but I like wearing it about the house too.  lol
