Concerning
application
For
all of our orders, since we do craft for several different
applications, we ask that if there are any requirements
regarding the specifications of your product, that you
advise us at the time of ordering. Leather armour must
be of a considerable thickness for some types of combat,
and can be treated in a number of ways to accentuate
this battle-worthiness. We can accommodate any of your
need in this area including lighter weight armor for
theater armor and movie costume purposes, slightly heavier
weight leather (8-12 oz), water or wax hardened for
LARP and/or boffer weapons combat, or full armour grade
leather (13/16 oz, Sole bend leathers) also available
"curbouille" hardened by boiling water or
beeswax.
Tell
us your application, and we'll make sure you're in compliance! |

Welcome
back to an era when wearing protective gear was
necessity, a way of life......or death. In medieval
times, thick hide leather armor was additionally
worn for warriors who wore chainmail, and complemented
the steel armor.This, in combination was
referred to as "transitional" armour. You will
find this here as well.
The
firearm has outdated such need for traditional
garb, but in its wake have the dreams of fantasy
survived, in modern day medieval faires and re-enactments,
live action role play (LARP), and renaissance
fairs. Many SCA and LARP veterans prefer leather
armor rather than steel armor for ease of movement,
conformance to body shape, and ease of maintenance
(leather doesn't rust). In defense of the steel,
however, there are those who prefer to have a
strong piercing blow glance off the metal, and
have their movements slowed rather than stopped.
It's a personal choice. We now have the best of
both worlds. Handcrafted leather armor and steel
armor created by a descendant of true middle ages
armorers !
