Ortwin Arms

The rivets emphasise the armour's shape and are a nice detail. The rerebrace is attached to the spaulder using the downward-pointing strap end, where its height may be adjusted. We recommend wearing a padded vest/gambeson underneath the armour to increase wearing comfort and to better protect yourself against injuries or chafing. 

Mytholon's Ortwin torso armour is closed by means of buckles and straps on the sides, so its width is easy to adjust. The generous cut-outs around both arms offer great freedom of movement, while a flexible stomach ring consisting of two segments protects the wearer's lower torso. The rivets emphasise the armour's shape and are a nice detail.

The included collar is attached in the chest area by means of straps at the shoulders as well as two leather strings. The stomach ring features two straps for attaching the matching tassets. The spaulders can also be attached to the torso armour using straps. We recommend wearing a padded vest/gambeson underneath the armour to increase wearing comfort and to better protect yourself against injuries or chafing.

This seven piece full armguard matches and completes the "Markward" series. Upper arm and forearm are, each, safely wrapped in a full steel tube, which is closed by using a buckle-strap. This way they are well protected from blows to the bone. 
The elbow has a matching guard, which goes along the entire "Markward" series. The full armguard can be adjusted to consisting armour without any problems.

Practical Protection for the Arms

Epic Armoury’s Soldier Arm Protection is a complete set of vambraces, rerebraces, and elbow cups. Designed to protect the outside of the entire arm, this handmade armour is made from 1mm steel and connected by chrome leather straps and strong rivets. The elbow cups--also known as couters--protect the elbow joint thanks to its rounded shape and reinforced ridges. The inside of the elbow features a cupped flange to deflect blows. The upper arm is protected by the half-rerebrace, while the lower arm is protected by the vambrace.

The Soldier’s Arm Protection has rolled edges that form ridges around the rims. Three chrome leather straps are used to secure the armour to your arm, and the top of the rerebrace is attached to the gambeson using canvas ties through a leather plate. With regular leather and metal care you can expect this quality made armour to last for a long time!

Inspired by Renaissance History

• 15th- and 16th-century European plate armour was attached to gambesons using arming points, which are utilized in this product’s design
• Plate armour became more popular as firearm technology became more prevalent during the 13th century
• The elbow cup is referred to as a couter or an elbow cop

The breastplate from the "Elias" series is kept simple and functional.

These full arm plate armours are blank and protect your arms from wrist to tricep!

The elbows have a joint and therefore do not interfere with movement.

The full armguard from the "Edward" series is big enough to be worn on top of a gambeson and even the padded jacket with an additional chain mail.

The upper part is being fixed to the spaulders on the inner side. The arm guard itself is then fitted to the wearers arm by the straps and buckles on upper arm, elbow and forearm.

The inner elbow is being protected by the "shell", as the plate piece on the outside of the guard is called. The forearm is closed inside a two-piece pipe - you will not need any bracers in addition to this piece here.

Your squire buckles the straps of your custom-fit Gothic Armour, adjusting it to be comfortable and snug over your gambeson. You paid top coin for this suit of plate, and you expect people will be impressed when they see how it shines on the battlefield.

Your blacksmith assured you that the Gothic Armour design was the latest in technology, able to withstand and deflect attacks--even arrows from the enemy’s bows. You are a mighty warrior, indeed, to be the owner of such fine craftsmanship. A fitting symbol of your godly-given status.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Gothic Arm Protection is a set of steel elbow cups--or couters--designed to protect the elbow joints. The elbow cups are rounded with reinforcing ridges and decorative steel rivets. Around the rim of each cup, a large V-shaped flange deflects blows away from the elbows. A half-rerebrace protects the upper arm while a vambrace protects the forearm below the couters. Top grain leather straps are used to close the braces and a third leather strap around the elbow keeps the piece in place.

The Gothic Arm Protection is made from mild steel with rolled edges that form ridges around the rims. The design is historically inspired by the renaissance, but the style and functionality is fully interchangeable with other Epic Armoury armours, allowing freedom to combine armours and customize a character’s looks to fit your needs.

HISTORY

• Gothic style historically developed in the 1420-1440s thanks to technological advances
• Characterized by the curves, flutes and ridges, which strengthened the armour and deflected projectiles
