In the court of your king, you have an important role to play. You look the part of a scribe and a trusted member of the council, dressed in your fine Tristan Vest.
Your days are filled with tedious paperwork and etiquette, but the work is important and you are pleased to serve. However, lately it has come to your attention that a scandal between the royal prince and an enemy’s daughter might be afoot. For some unknown reason the pressure has been placed upon you to fix things. The stress is unimaginable.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Vest Tristan is a sleeveless shirt designed with bureaucrats or well-mannered townsfolk in mind. Reaching from the shoulders to the waist and made from soft, dyed cotton, this vest can be a costume all by itself--or work as a layer in a more complicated design. Designed to be form fitting and sleek, the vest features coloured trim meant to give you a slim and groomed appearance.
When you need to make a good impression, the Tristan Vest is perfect for your needs. Secure the Vest Tristan by tying the five straps along the front for a comfortable fit. Wear it fully strapped or leave the top open for a different look.
HISTORY
- Inspired by the historical Jerkin worn in the 16th and 17th centuries
- Narrow waists were considered particularly fashionable in the 1600s, which is emphasized with this design
When placing order, please note in memo field at checkout which hand you require this for (wearing on right hand or wearing on left hand) to avoid confusion.
Your horse gallops out onto the fields of a vast plain, chasing after the few orcs fleeing from your arrows. Your horsebow gleams beneath the sunlight, and every arrow you let fly finds its mark. With balance and elven grace, you reach for another arrow in your quiver.
The orcs made a mistake when they entered your family’s forest. You successfully taunted their scouting party into a trap, and now all that is left is a little cleanup.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Hand Protection is designed to protect an archer from the bowstring and arrow during use. Handmade from durable chrome-tanned leather, this glove covers the index finger to the thumb of the left-hand. When used on the bow-hand, this glove will fit around the bow and cover the exposed skin that would otherwise risk injury from arrow feathers or recoiling bowstrings.
This Hand Protection’s edges have been stitched to improve the product’s structure and to increase its lifetime. Adjust this glove using a velcro closure around the wrist. Perfect for archers or someone wanting to look the part.
HISTORY
- Archery has been used by cultures all over the world, predating recorded history
- Serves a similar use to the historical bracer, and is similar in appearance to a finger tab
The way the human children look at you, you would assume they have never seen an elf before. Granted, it isn’t often that you travel into cities. You prefer the tranquil sounds of the forest, away from the stench and chaos of busy human streets.
However, you have business with a certain wizard in town. So while your elven garb--decorated Fur Hood, tunic, and weapons--cause you to stand out amongst the crowd, you continue without raising a fuss. After all, they are only short-lived creatures. They don’t know any better than to stare.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Fur Hood is an embroidered mantle with a long hood tail. The mantle covers the shoulders, keeping the upper chest warm while the hood protects the head and face from harsh wind. Elvish embroidery and polyester fur trim embellishes this hood, adding great detail to the felted wool. The inside is lined with soft, comfortable cotton.
Hoods are great garments for rounding off character looks, and the Fur Hood is a stylish garment that especially fits a roguish or elven character. Adjust the hood’s facial opening with flat split-leather cord lacing at the throat.
HISTORY
- One of the oldest garments known to humanity
- Common fashion in medieval Europe, especially with a hood
Donning your kimono and Jin Baori every morning is as much a ritual as a tea ceremony. Carefully inspected and folded the night before, it is of the utmost importance that a samurai of your stature maintain a pristine uniform. To look sloppy implies that your discipline is lacking--and by that logic, your swordsmanship must be, too.
Instead of risking such dishonor to your reputation, you take the care that is necessary. There will not be a thread out of place.
DETAILS
The Epic Armoury Jin Baori is a traditional open overcoat to be worn over a high-ranking samurai’s armour. Reaching from the shoulders to the mid-thigh and edged with broad golden bands along the collar and hem, this handsome garment adds detail and interest to an Asian-inspired costume. Fit shoulder armour outside the Jin-Baori by threading straps through the four eyelets located on the back and front. Each eyelet is clearly marked by golden edging, adding strength and aesthetic appeal.
On the back, the Jin-Baori has two slits allowing maximum mobility. These slits also allow a sword to hang comfortably from a belt beneath the coat. The garment is made of durable, but comfortable cotton with gold coloured cotton edging. Fully compatible with Epic Armoury's other Asian styles, the Jin-Baori is for the warrior looking to display his status and skill on the field of glory.
HISTORY
- Historically made for armoured samurai to wear
- Considered a type of haori, which is a kimono-like jacket that adds formality to an outfit
- Traditionally a male garment until the Meiji period

Silence. Perfect silence.
You use the silence as a cloak of armour, masked in the darkness and waiting for danger to show itself. You ready your sword, prepared to launch your deadly attack should your Lord’s assassins appear. One quick slice and they will breathe their last, you sword hitting its mark and your Kimono becoming soaked in their dark red blood. When you vanish once more, you’ll leave any of their allies bewildered and afraid.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Dark Red Kimono is a traditional Japanese T-shaped robe with ¾ length sleeves made from heavy red cotton and a reinforced collar. Reaching from the shoulders to the upper thighs, this garment is a great base to an Ancestral costume. The Kimono is worn by tying the left over the right side, securing its cotton straps located on the inside and outside of the waist. The sleeves hang loose just above the wrists, leaving the hands free and allowing the greatest possible freedom of action.
Fully compatible with Epic Armoury's other Asian styles, the Kimono is a great basis for almost any samurai-inspired character you wish to make - be it honourable warrior or dishonoured thief.
HISTORY
- A traditional Japanese garment since the 8th century
- Resembles a kosode, which is a shorter sleeved kimono worn with a hakama
- Traditionally secured with a sash tied at the back called an obi
- Always traditionally tied with the left over the right side, except when dressing the dead
- Product number: 300516U
