RFB Cape Arthur

You’ve been on the run from the bandit gang all night after escaping from their hideout, and while they scour the roads and search in town, you’ve taken to the woods. You’re a smart adventurer, after all--or at least one that is smart enough to still be alive.

Hiding in the underbrush and using your Ready-for-Battle Arthur Cape as camouflage, you decide to wait the bandits out until you can sneak away with their loot. Of course, your plan doesn’t really account for the possibility of running into wild beasts.

Here’s hoping the wolves aren’t hungry.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Ready-for-Battle Cape Arthur is an ankle-length cape, fitted with a hood and cotton-strap fastenings. This design is meant to offer the greatest degree of protection from the elements while still being lightweight and comfortable. This cape makes a great accessory if you need to add layering to your character’s costume, as capes have become synonymous with medieval and fantasy clothing. Capes are also highly practical in limiting the impact of wind, rain or sun.

The Ready-for-Battle Cape Arthur is a classic cut and will be usable by any character in any game world, allowing freedom when customizing equipment for your characters. Secure the cape around the neck by tying the cotton-straps. Made from comfortable light cotton, this cape is easily made water resistant with a treatment at home.

HISTORY

• One of the oldest garments known to humanity
• Common fashion in medieval Europe, especially when combined with a hood
• Capes that fasten at the neck were typically worn by women throughout history

LOOKS CAN BE DECIEVING

First of all: this sword is no virgin. Designed to appear as though it has seen countless battles, Epic Armoury’s Battleworn Ranger Sword comes with a non-pristine look like rusty spots and nicks and scratches. It looks grimed, aged and not at all well-cared for. Secondly, it has character; it could very likely be the trusty blade of a heroic outlaw or an unscrupulous assassin. Maybe it got picked up by a scavenging orc as stolen goods after a battle, or maybe it belongs to a daughter of a nomadic warrior clan. The possibilities for using it when crafting LARP characters seems almost inexhaustible.

Make no mistake though; The Battleworn Ranger Sword is as dependable as any clean blade in our broad range of products and you can feel absolutely sure that this hybrid model sword will give you confidence in the safety and appeal of your weapon on the battlefield. This 60 cm short latex-hybrid sword is impressively durable and is inspired by medieval weapons and fantasy lore alike. The crossguard features an intricate curved design that protects a leather-like grip. This grip, wide by the crossguard and narrow toward the golden “scent stopper” pommel, is ergonomic in your hand. The blade is made from closed cell foam around a fiberglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, while the handle is a polyurethane foam cast that allows for greater detail and no maintenance.

HISTORY

• Considered to be a long knife and is similar in size and shape to a thrusting dagger called a “dirk”
• Used as a personal sidearm by officers
• The pommel design is called a “scent stopper” design, popular in the 16th century. In shape it resembles the top on old crystal perfume bottles

Fibulas have been used since the bronze age to close clothing on the wearers' body. Often referred to as "the buttons before there were buttons", they were used up to the late medieval period until the button and buttonhole were introduced. Used as jewlery they were often decorating the rich.

Mytholon's Sylvana fibula is such a decorative fibula.
As with all their steel and iron ware, it is made by hand.
The fibula is beatifully decorated with leaves on its end. The ring is completly torqued. It was sanded down only a little to keep the rough, wrought iron look.

All our cloaks and coats can be worn with a fibula, but please note that the removal of the buttons or creation of holes with the fibula's "thorn" may void the warranty.

You are laughing too loud. You realize it must be scaring your enemy, because no one wants to face you on the frontline anymore. They think you are crazed. Maybe you are, because the adrenaline of being in a battle has left you feeling drunk with exhilaration.

If no one will come to you, it’s time to bring the fight to them! One poor soldier desperately strikes at you and you feel the thud of his sword against your RFB Fighter Leather Armour, but it hardly makes a scratch. You see the terror in his eyes as your laugh fills the field and you bring the strength of your axe down upon him.

You are Raynor Ironshood. Let them fear you. Let them all fear you.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Ready-for-Battle Leather Armour is a fancy leather cuirass with front and back plates to protect the torso from harm. The armour is constructed from brown leather oblongs cut from chrome-tanned, plated leather, riveted with brass studs onto soft split-leather. With elongated sides to protect the flanks, the front and back plates are secured together by sturdy leather straps and iron buckles.

The shoulder plates are made from similar oblongs reinforced with a leather strap that runs from the front plate to another set of iron buckles on the back. This makes the armour highly adjustable, allowing a snug fit for the individual wearer.

This armour is hemmed with additional soft split leather to keep the armour from deforming with excessive wear. The armour is fully interchangeable with other Epic Armoury products, and is also light with a distinct, but neutral style that will fit with almost any world or character you wish to take on your first adventure.

HISTORY

• Inspired by “brigandine” armour from the Middle Ages, but lighter without the usual metal plates riveted into the armour
• Inspired style came into wide use during the 15th century

A rectangular cape with artificial fur in the hem.
The cloth is lined, double-layered and quite heavy. We recommend it at night or when cold outside.
The cape is suitable for northern characters, but can be worn by almost every other character/costume as well.

Please note that sizings for these have recently changed. We are running the older stock dry, so you may not be able to order certain combinations.
