Pirate Hat

You’re the first to spot the sails o’ a ship on the horizon, and so the chase begins. You and your crewmates have a reputation as the most formidable pirates on the sea, and it’s time to defend your title.

You board the merchant’s ship with your cutlass at the ready. They have heard o’ your flag before, and so they be surrendering smartly. Good. This be easy loot! You and your crew pack what plunder you can find before a Royal Navy ship can come along, but as you pass the miserable captain you notice his tricorne hat. The hat is your share o’ the profit with a simple snatch from the man’s head.

A mighty fine Pirate Hat it is, too.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s “tricorne” Pirate Hat is handmade from natural full-grain quality leather and sturdy stitching, embellished with cotton canvas and laced leather around the brim. Inspired by popular 18th century hats of the time, its brim is turned up and pinned to form a triangle around the crown with leather lacing. With regular leather care, you can expect this hat to add a special touch to your kit for a long time!

HISTORY

• Referred to as a “tricorne” or “cocked hat”
• Popular by the end of the 17th century as both civilian fashion and military uniform
• Typically worn with the point facing forward, although soldiers would often wear it pointed above their left eyebrow to allow their rifle to be rested on their shoulder

Oh, so many new faces, new recruits to train! All young men and a few women try their utmost to become musketeers, to serve the King. It is my duty to choose the strongest, noblest and most elegant of them, and to transform them into respected gentlemen that will give their life for the country.

My time of adventuring has long passed. I’ve seen my share of diplomacy, and of war. But I could not simply go into retirement. I wanted to leave something behind, to serve my King once again. That’s why I became a teacher, an instructor, and all the new recruits come before me. I doubt that some will become as legendary as the former musketeers, but I will do all I can for them to try, sword in hand!

Workshop

This new rapier introduces a new handle to Calimacil’s arsenal. The black handle is ornate with golden details and flowery patterns while the blade is steel-coloured. The blade is flexible enough to allow thrusting blows without danger.

The whole sword is incredibly realistic, making it perfect for historic reconstitution and LARP alike.

Characters

Perfect for musketeers, this rapier could also be used by conquistadors or lone swashbucklers. Great as a symbol of status, the sword was often seen hanging from the belt of noblemen and aspiring merchants.

Legend

« Battle station, battle station. Condition One throughout the ship. This is not a drill ». The message was blaring through the speakers. As if he didn’t know, as he was hiding behind the makeshift barricade of crates and sandbags, with laser fire streaking above his head. The Space pirates were gaining ground. He couldn’t ignore the fact that his own laser blaster’s battery was nearing emptiness. But it was not as if there was anywhere to flee, in the vast emptiness of space. The trigger clicked, without any flash of light. Damn, it was empty now. There was no choice but to get his trusty knife out of the sheath, and fight to the end.

Workshop

Of a very practical design, this knife is the perfect sidearm, or emergency solution in dire combat. The enclosed guard protecting the hand makes it very useful for that purpose. Lightweight, it won’t be cumbersome to carry around. As always made of our safe foam, it will be providing service for years to come.

Character

The anachronic combinaison of the saber guard and the modern blade makes it a perfect weapon for the low-class interstellar traveler of the far future, or the survivors of the nuclear wastelands plagued by zombies.

The pirates are attempting to board your ship! It’s a terrible battle at sea, your own crew scrambling at the defensive. How will you overcome such a frightening enemy?

As the pirate ship begins to launch their grappling lines, you reach for your Boarding Axe. You’ve used this as a tool aboard the ship, but it now comes in handy as you sever a grappling line in twain. Screams of fright fill the air as the boarding pirates fall into the watery depths.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Boarding Axe is a heavy 62 cm axe designed for sailors and swashbucklers. It has an axe-blade with a 15 cm blade, and along with its spike, it is great for both attacking your enemy and chopping down doors when attempting to commandeer a ship! The short hooked axe head is hand painted to look like real metal (although it is made of soft foam), and is attached to the handle designed to look like weathered wood.

Made from durable closed cell foam around a solid 10 mm fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, your new LARP axe will provide the safety and appeal you want when crafting your Defiant kit.

HISTORY

• The first hafted axe was created about 6,000 B.C. using birch-tar and raw-hide lashings to fix the blade to its handle
• Many battle axes doubled as tools and were cheaper to make than swords
• Boarding axes were designed to be heavy to cut through grappling lines, and were used during the 17th and 18th centuries

Hours inside the dungeon and you only manage to find one measly copper, despite all the monsters you’ve put to rest. Today is just not your day.

Just to add to your frustration, you miss an easily avoided trap and find yourself tumbling down a dark and damp hole. At the bottom, your ego bruised, you discover that your fall was broken by a pile of bones.

Really, in the grand scheme of adventures--this might be the worst.

Epic Armoury’s Bone Bag 18 pieces is a collection of grisly plastic, but realistically sculpted bones. With a range of bone types--including an impressive skull!--this collection is a great effect to add to your game as a prop or as general atmosphere. Handpainted and sculpted with intricate detail, these props looks realistic right down to the individually shaded teeth.

Made from hard plastic, these are not meant to be used as a LARP weapon.

Sure you could* use this to fasten rope around a fixed point on a yard arm, but it's much more effective as an improvised weapon to slug someone in near quarters.

*No, you couldn't. Please note that the Epic Armoury belaying pin is not a naval use device and is intended for roleplay purposes only.

You are part of a small group of men that have been secretly conspiring against your captain for weeks now. The time to act has come; the captain has grown suspicious and your chance to take control of the ship may slip away from you like badly secured rigging slipping through your hands during a storm.

You catch him standing alone on deck staring into the distant horizon. This has to be done quickly and quietly. You wallop your Belaying Pin swift and hard on the back of this poor bugger’s head before he can even scream: “Mutiny!”

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Belaying Pin measures 40 cm and is made from durable closed cell foam with a core of flexible tubing and finished with a strong latex coating. Hand painted and sculpted, this weapon appears to be made of real wood. Great impromptu LARP weapon for thumping skulls or for disciplining deck boys.

The Prescott jack boots  are made of soft, vegan suitable imitation leather with a light lining. They keep your feet warm and dry in bad weather. Ideal for pirates and sailors, they are also suited to adventurers, knights and noble characters.

While imitation leather boots are more weather resistant than ungreased leather boots and do not so quickly soak in the rain, please note that Prescotts are costuming quality boots and are not designed for long use in combat conditions.

Not only do we hand make and inspect each set of ears, we try to use the highest quality materials we can find. Often on the road we are told our ears last for years of use, with some people coming back with the same ears after 6-7 years of wearing them!  You can attach these ears with spirit gum or liquid latex (personally we recommend spirit gum). The seam lines can be blended with latex or hidden with the use of an ear cuff as shown in the picture.

Design: Paul and Michael Bielaczyc

These are handcrafted in our home studio, by the artists of Aradani, with attention to detail and quality. 

Aradani Studios was founded in 2002 by the Bielaczyc siblings, Michael, Paul and Sara. Their original intention was to work at the Tennessee Renaissance Festival as a part-time endeavor, a way for them to spend time together and have some fun selling artwork. So many people were interested in Paul's elven costume, particularly the pointed ears, that the they decided that they would add elf ears to the business. The following weekend, the Bielaczyc's began what Aradani Studios is best known for: hand-painting elf ears to blend in naturally with people's skin tone.

What began as a once a year activity for the brothers expanded in 2003 to include three Renaissance festivals and multiple conventions around the country. During this time, Aradani Studios carried a variety of other brands, but didn't manufacture any of their own products. However, with customers requesting custom prosthetics at every show, they decided it was time to expand.

Starting early in 2005, they began sculpting and producing their own line of prosthetics, by 2007, over 90% of the products they sold were created in house, made and manufactured in Nashville, Tennessee. Customers all over the world have enjoyed Aradani elf ears and masks.

Aside from latex prosthetics and jewelry, Michael and Paul Bielaczyc are acclaimed fantasy artists, winning awards all over the country and working for companies such as Dragonlance and Apex Digest. Their work can be seen in shows across the Southeast and various publications.

About Aradani's business practices:

We strive to bring the best quality costuming to our customers. We also try our best to have most things made in the United States (or if possible in fair trade commerce). 80% of our products are made in the U.S. , and 100% of the products we make are designed, built and manufactured here in the U.S.A. by workers who are paid a fair wage.

Not every person in the tavern seems to believe your tales of adventure upon the high sea, but there are also very few who are not amused. You’re a grand storyteller--if not a professional embellisher--and at the end of the night you have more than a few coins to pay for your meal.

The truth of your tales? Perhaps the kraken was no more than a medium-sized squid. Perhaps the pirate ship battle was no more than two ships pointing cannons upon the other in a standoff. Either way, the truth is that you are quite the adventurer with your Cavalier Sword at your side.

DETAILS

The Hybrid Cavalier Sword is a medium sword inspired by the cavaliers of the 1600s, imitating their reckless attitudes and rich sense of style. The sword is 75 cm long and has a 51 cm single-edged blade that gets wider toward the end. The handle has impressive detail, including a crossguard that curves around the hand, connecting to the pommel. The handle is handpainted to looks like faded bronze. The 14 cm grip is cast and painted to look like ribbed leather, ergonomically shaped to fit the hand.

 The blade is made from closed cell foam around a fibreglass core and finished with a strong latex coating, while the handle is a polyurethane foam cast that allows for greater detail and no maintenance. This hybrid model sword will make you confident in the safety and appeal of your weapon on the battlefield.

INSPIRATION

• The term cavalier was originally an insulting word used to describe the royalists during the English Civil War and beyond
• Royalists eventually adopted the term for themselves, and it has since become a word we use to describe the fashion of English court during the 1600s
• Today, someone might call a person cavalier if they have an arrogant attitude

The finest closed cel foam weapons on the battlefield!

This type of helmet was called "cervelliere" (scull cap) and introduced in the 13th century and was supposed to be worn underneath a great helmet in addition to the coif of mail.

Getting out of style in the 14th century, they became popular in the 16th century again, when worn by lansquenets under their felt or leather hats.

This simple model has a big opening for the face and a central crest along. The neck is enlongened to offer better protection to this area. The back part is decorated with two rows of rivets.

The helmet is delivered with an inner liner of foam and a leather chin strap.

AVAST YE, SCALLYWAG!

Screeching gulls circled above our heads as we made our way to the coast. Our coats were no match for the relentless wind, but our attention was fixed on the flamboyant figures awaiting where waves meet the sand. Their curved cutlasses were drawn, and I understood this would be a standoff with skulls and crossbones, as promised. But my cutlass was sharper!

The Curved Cutlass is an iconic weapon for any naval character or urban character connected to shady establishments at the harbours. The weapon is inspired by designs used during the Age of Sail, which forms the setting in most maritime novels. While a cutlass may fit perfectly in the hands of a pirate, it is worth noting that the versatile design allows application with a wide range of characters, such as bold buccaneers, stout seafarers, decisive dock workers or bodacious bandits. Wealthier characters might instead wield a Curved Sabre. Despite status and station, any decent cutlass should have a story (or several) regarding the acquisition of the weapon. Which ones will you tell the crew?

The finest closed cel foam weapons on the battlefield!

Having ranged weapons like small flintlock pistols that fire rubber bands is great and all, but what about when you just need the raw satisfaction of pistol whipping someone? 

Rembert's got you covered! The non functional pistol is made of soft Battle Standard foam. It can be safely used as an improvised weapon in close combat. Beautifully designed, Rembert gives you the opportunity to depict the use of your shot pistol as a slashing or left-hand weapon. Whether it's a wild pirate, a brave musketeer or a deceitful robber with this foam replica of a pistol, the fights remain safe and varied. 

Who wears short shorts?

Mytholon's Franklin pants are perfectly suited for pirates or seamen.
These pants boast a straight cut and end just above the knees. The codpiece at the front hides the two buttons the pants are closed with, and it looks nice to boot. The codpiece is detachable. The waistband can be adjusted with a strap in the back. The belt loops at the waistband provide the possibility to wear a belt or a colourful strip of cloth. The pant legs each have a strip of five buttons that can be opened for more comfort. 

The Gabriel boot gaiters can be easily worn over any footwear. They not only protect from moisture and undergrowth, they also conceal shoes that look too modern for medieval markets or LARPs. Made of robust cotton canvas, they fit to many different costume ideas. The boot gaiters are closed by buttons on the side and can be further adjusted by a lacing on the inside. They have a decorative cuff that extends to the bottom of the knee. 

Material: Cotton canvas

The Wizard was angry. Not only had they conflated him with the bombing of Dresden, not only had they ruined his Star Wars marathon, they'd had the temerity to ask about The Hat.

"It's a Witch Hunter's Hat. Do I look like a Witch Hunter to you?" he asked between clenched teeth.

"But it's on the cover of the books!" the annoying one replied.

"Then maybe you should have bought the UK edition." he said in a voice colder than the mantle of Winter's Knight.

Protecting the innocent people of your country from the spells and curses of witches rests on your shoulders. It is your responsibility to find the dreaded creatures and put an end to their evil ways--often at the risk of your own life in the process.

Anymore, the townsfolk recognize you by your iconic wide-brimmed hat. You had it enchanted to protect yourself from charms and illusions, but it is also a symbol of the hunter that you are. It is a warning to any witch who dares to cross paths with you.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s full-grain leather costume Witch Hunter Hat is handmade and embellished with a cotton canvas band, held in place with glue and leather pentagram along the brim, giving this gothic fashion a arcane twist. The stitching around the edges and the stiff crown strengthen this hat’s structural stability, so with regular leather care you can expect Epic Armoury’s Witch Hunter Hat to have a long lifetime. Use this Witch Hunter Hat to create a steampunk statement or add some interest to your kit.
