There is a small correction Matt clout nails are a very soft steel, however having said that any kind of flat headed nail will do be they copper or whatever. The object is that with the flat head on the inside against the leather, when the nail is hammered into the countersink of the hole the flat head pulls right into the leather and the inside of the lorica is absoloutely smooth and flush.
