Markward Full Gauntlet

The long version of the "Markward" gauntlet has an integrated cuff, which provides extra protection to the wearers forearm. This six-piece gauntlet has, even though the cuff seems long, a very good movability and allows a free rotation of the wrist. The cuff itself is equipped with the entire "Markward" series design. 

The leather gloves are not included with these gauntlets. These gauntlets are sold as a pair.

The smell of disease is rancid in the streets, but you are the Plague Doctor. All you smell are the fresh lemon balm and rose hips in your mask, protecting you from the lethal miasma of the dying.

You wear a mask, robe, and Leather Gloves as your protection from the dangers of the world's illness, shielding you just as a knight's armour protects him from a fatal strike. To everyone else, you are a symbol of knowledge and healing...but also the harbinger of death. Looking into the blackness of your mask's eyes feels like exposing one's soul, and so even your patients harbor fear at your presence.

DETAILS

These bestselling Epic Armoury Leather Gloves are thick, handsome leather gloves with 15 cm long cuffs. They are made from plated, chrome-tanned leather and stitched at all joints around the fingers, wrists and edges. This stitching improves the strength of the material by preventing it from deforming with heavy use or from exposure to the environment. The fit of the gloves can be adjusted with a drawstring set through four brass eyelets on the outside of the cuff.

The gloves are fully compatible with other Epic Armoury metal and leather items and are particularly useful paired with leather and steel gauntlets. Their low-fantasy look and moderate style can be used with a multitude of settings, allowing freedom to create your own unique costume.

HISTORY

• Leather has been used for gloves for thousands of years
• Used for a better grip on tools and to protect the hands

PICK UP / IN STORE AVAILABILITY ONLY

The best defence in life means nothing if it is eaten away by time and the elements, or even attacked from the inside.
And so it is with your own armour!
Humidity, expansion and contraction in the heat, UV radiation, rain, and the withering blows of your enemies all conspire to expose your armour to rust, but worse yet, your very own precious bodily fluids conspire to corrode it from the inside with their impurities and corruption! (which is why we only ever drink pure grain alcohol or rainwater)

You could coat your armour (and other metal objects) in a regular run of the mill lubricant, but many of them are actively hydrophobic. Great for metal but terrible for leather, cotton and other organic materials!

Lanox MX4 is a lanolin rich lubricant, and lanolin is the oil that is naturally produced by sheep to prevent them from shrinking in the rain and generally remain weather proof! It is superior to many artificial compounds and does not damage leathers or organic fibres.
