well u see with those, they are there to keep form and not twist, or else the armor would distort. Hinges are very flexible in the ways they're supposed to bend. The outer shoulder blades are supposed to twist and bend for the arm movements. If there were leather straps riveted instead, the plates would move side to side and up and down giving away vulnerable areas. Hinges, just up and down. Understand?
