As to the Varangian bra (great name, no?), I was fiddling around with a friend's hauberk (no innuendo there) and a modern reconstruction of the 'bra' and have come up with a solution that solves two problems: it was used to both redistribute weight and tighten loose fits.
I think Timothy Dawson and John Haldon have both came to this conclusion, as well through various means.
