RFB Viking Bracers

As one of the warriors of your Viking tribe, you travel frequently. It’s a hard life and one that is not kind to the weak. If you cannot keep up you will be left behind.

Your many travels require armour designed to last. You rely on such pieces as your RFB Viking Bracers to keep you going strong! Along with your sword, sturdy shoes and your skill, you expect that you may please the gods in many battles. You certainly have the warrior’s instinct.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Ready-for-Battle Viking Bracers are fancy leather bracers designed to protect the forearms. The armour is constructed from leather straps cut from chrome-tanned, split leather, and weaved together to create a beautiful design. The armour is secured to the arm by sturdy leather straps and brass buckles.

This armour is hemmed with additional soft split leather to keep the armour from deforming with excessive wear. This armour matches our Viking Armour and Greaves, but has a distinct, neutral style that will fit with almost any combination of costuming for your first adventure.

HISTORY

• Inspired by lamellar armour worn by the Vikings, which would have included small iron plates
• Historically, using only leather as armour is factually inconclusive--most Viking wore ordinary clothing and used a shield as protection

As a ranger, you roam the forest in search of adventure!

Epic Armoury's Rebel cotton Dress provides the perfect cover for sneaking about the woods. This fantasy-based sleeveless dress is made to be worn over any Larp costume and designed to endure harsh combat. Fairies, Elves or any style ranger will enjoy the convenience and the beauty of this garment. The dress comes equipped with a high tunnel collar and an oversized hood, allowing you to camouflage your face as you hide while providing some protection against the elements. The bottom of the dress possesses ruffled edges, enhancing the decorum of this fantasy dress. The dress can be tied at the sides using cotton drawstrings and is the perfect costume for hot summer months.

An elaborately decorated pair of forearm protection for archers. It is punched with Celtic knots and patterns. The buckles are worn on the outside. The inside is cut out so that it does not obstruct the arm when bending. Elaborate hallmark work and the antique patina make these armour parts a real eye-catcher. They are available in two different sizes. 

Produced by the Italian company Fucina del drago they are known for particularly beautiful leather products. 

Please Note: Leather is a natural product and accepts dyes differently. The colour shade may differ from the illustration.

You think about dreaming it, we will take care of making it happen.

Our work briefly translates into this: starting from an idea, a sketch, a story and transforming those smoky lines into an object that can be used in the context (whether strictly historical or fantasy) for which it was designed.

Design therefore, at the base of each project, modulated on the budget of each client.

Realization, with a particular attention to detail and real use (not only display but rather mainly products made to be worn, used, lived).

Assistance, so that everything that has already been created does not suffer the damage of time or the wear and tear of years of use.

Black Dragon is our brand for the design and construction of weapons, armor and props oriented to LARP, Cosplay and film productions.

These are articles made of materials such as plastazote, evazote, resins and the like, used to give shape and substance to the wildest dreams of every designer or to reproduce objects not otherwise available because of fantasy.

It was born from the meeting between the Fucina del Drago and Black Forge, an artisan workshop that has been active for years in the LARP and Cosplay sector at national and international level which, in February 2020, joined forces in the common goal of expanding their work and their skills to offer them on a wider market also linked to film productions.

From this collaboration, projects related to TV series have been born that have benefited from years of experience and tests on materials, at the same time highlighting on the one hand the absolute reachable realism and on the other the possibility of truly shaping the imagination to give shape to things otherwise unattainable.

From the feedback obtained, the push that led us to strongly believe in this new project was born to the point of creating a brand dedicated only to this type of product.

A fundamental component of our work remains attentive listening to the customer and continuous contact in order to be certain not only of the achievement of the final result, but also and above all of full satisfaction: from this point of view it makes no difference that you are a live role player, a cosplayer or a film production company, we will still be able to accompany you from the preparatory sketch to the finished product in order to give you the most precise possible idea of ​​what we are making for you.

The snows have come, but despite the cold your village still depends on you to defend it from hungry raiders. The northern winters can be harsh, making men and women particularly desperate.

Thankfully, your Medieval Hood is secure and keeps you warm. You keep the hood over your head as you patrol the walls, pulling it close to keep away the biting wind. At least it is easy to spot incoming trouble against the pure white of snow. You’ll see anyone coming.

Epic Armoury’s Medieval Hood is a hood with a mantle and long hood tail. The mantle covers the shoulders, keeping the upper chest warm while the hood protects the head and face from harsh wind. Made from felted, blended wool and lined on the inside with soft cotton, this hood is comfortable and solid. Decorative stitches line the hood and hem, embellishing and adding great detail to a practical product.

Put on this hood by simply slipping it over your head--it’s easy and cozy to wear. Hoods are great garments for rounding off your look, and the Medieval Hood is a stylish layer that fits a wide variety of character types.

HISTORY

• One of the oldest garments known to humanity
• Common fashion in medieval Europe, especially with a hood
• Hoods were a common garment worn by all social classes in a huge variety of forms and shapes

Shield Bash!

Your shield sends a goblin clear off his feet, landing in a pile of his buddies. They miscalculated your massive strength, and are reeling backwards on the retreat. So much for supposed alliances--you can feel the goblin blood soaked clear down to your Tunic. They have learned too late that betraying an Orc of the Black Water would mean death. It’s too bad they won’t be able to share the word with their kin.

You adjust your great shield, letting out a battle cry of rage as another goblin aims for your ankles. Shield Bash. This one goes flying another fifteen paces.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s tunic is a light Viking-style shirt often worn as an undergarment, with a large V-shaped neckline. Reaching from the shoulders to the mid-thighs and made from comfortable, dyed cotton, this tunic is an extremely versatile item that can be a costume all by itself--or work as a base layer in a more complicated design. Made from durable fabric, this neutral cut tunic is an essential and long-lasting piece in any costuming wardrobe.

HISTORY

• Historically worn by a great variety of people and cultures--with many different types of cuts!
• The name derives from the Latin tunica, the basic garment worn by both men and women in Ancient Rome
• Generally considered a male garment and was still worn in Norway until the 17th century

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 Viking 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.

HISTORY

• Unlike popular belief, arm protection was only called a “bracer” if it was meant to protect the forearm of an archer
• Forearm protection not intended for an archer would have been called a “vambrace” or “forearm guard”

Black is the favored colour for many warriors and soldiers across the land. It's hard to stain, fearsome and distinctive in combat.
These Warrior Bracers are stylish and comfortable to wear.

Your prey is almost within range, tentative as she catches a whiff of something in the air. You have covered yourself in the dirt of the forest and smell more like pine than person, but the deer still seems uncertain.

She steps forward and you pull out an arrow from your quiver, loading your bow. This deer will feed your family for the rest of the week, so you are careful as you take aim. You mustn’t miss your target if you are to eat.

With a sharp ‘thwap!’ your arrow breezes past your Warrior Bracers, soaring through the air and finally hitting its mark, clean and perfect. A painless end to a noble creature...and your dinner.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Warrior Bracers are a set of tough leather arm guards designed to protect the forearms in combat or when shooting a bow.

Stitched to prevent the leather from deforming and minimizing tearing, this armour will last a long time with proper leather care.

The style is low-fantasy and compatible with other Epic Armoury leather and metal armours. It will fit most characters and game worlds giving you freedom when customizing your character’s equipment.

The Silvan leather bracers are adjustable with lace or leather cord. These bracers are inspired by nature. Ideal to be used as silvan elves, rangers or druids. We use the best materials to make our leather garments, contacting national producers and making sure that the leather is in the best conditions, without presenting dryness or cracks. We make the finishes thinking of continuous use, and therefore we try to make double seams and reinforced eyelets.

“I held my breath as I watched her steady aim. Her movements as she placed the nock on the bowstring were graceful and subtle – like a hidden dance before the unnoticing prey. She had no ill will against her prey. No disdain nor malevolence. To her, it was just a means to serve her community. As the arrow darted off, the bowstring struck her woven leather bracers. She calmly brushed it off and gave me a calm smile. I, too, was struck.”

The Ranger Bracers from Epic Armoury are made of diagonally woven leather beneath a plain frame. Ornamented leather straps provide easy adjustment for a comfortable fit on the lower arm. The bracers are designed to be donned as part of the Ranger Complete Armour Set, but they can also be used independently or in combination with pieces from other armour designs.
