Kendra Gorget

The leather collar matching the Kendra series is manufactured in Italy by Fucina del Drago. This elaborately crafted collar has two raised segments on the back. The curved form and the exceptional design are typical for the entire "Kendra" armour series. The collar can be attached to the "Kendra" corsage by means of leather straps. Of course, it can also be worn by itself.

Also, you can attach the matching spaulders to this collar.

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.

NEVER RISK YOUR NECK

Designed to add comfort and protection beneath your Epic Armoury Scout Shoulders, this Scout Shoulder Gambeson is a must have when you venture into battle. Made from quilted cotton encasement and lined with a soft polyester interior, this product has a stitching that ensures the padding remaining evenly spaced.

 Sculpted and hand-painted in a dark steel colour with details like greenish gemstones and serpent-inspired ornamentation, it appears realistically like metal. Three bronze coloured skulls decorate this jagged bladelike tiara, giving it a delightfully dark and malignant expression. Fastened at the back with a broad and sturdy elastic band and a bow tie buckle, the size fits all. Perfect for the Pagan princess, the necromancer or the evil queen.

HISTORY

This pair of tassets matches the Kendra leather corsage for ladies, which features a pair of D-rings on either side of the hip to which these tassets can be attached. The tassets consist of two parts: they take up the design of the leather bodice and continue it.

These curved tassets go well with other leather armour sets such as Morgana. Of course, the tassets can also be attached separately to an already existing armour – your imagination's the limit.

Like all products made by Fucina del Drago, these tassets are hand-crafted from high-quality cowhide leather in Italy.

When you live as dangerously (and arguably illegally) as you, it’s important to keep all the necessary protections on hand. A hood to cover your face is important, but if you had to give a young thief some important advice--you’d tell him to protect his neck.

Your Shoulder Armour and Neck Guard protect your throat from would be assassins and hangmen with a hungry noose. So long as you are quick on your feet and look out for yourself, this is one piece of gear that is liable to keep you thieving for a long time.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Shoulder Armour and Neck Guard are a set of leather armour with two spaulders and a gorget to protect the shoulders and throat. Made from vegetable-tanned full-grain leather, this armour uses overlapping plates and two small sword-breakers to deflect attacks away from the head. All exposed edges are reinforced with leather and stitching to prevent it from deforming with excessive use.

Secure the Shoulder Armour and Neck Guard around your neck by threading a leather strap through two loops on the back. Adjust the piece to your size by tightening the heavy leather cords and straps at the upper arms. Handsome to behold and designed to be a neutral style, use this armour with an assortment of characters across a multitude of worlds.

HISTORY

• Inspired by armour historically made from metal
• Historically designed with sculpted ridges and overlapping plates to provide reinforced protection and to deflect attacks on a chaotic battlefield
• Also referred to as a gorget, which means throat
• Early versions were typically worn under the breastplate and backplate to support the weight of the heavy plate armour

The lined Nimue ("nmWAY") gorget  is ideal for the cold days of the year.
Made with a warm wool synthetic blend, it protects well from wind and weather and blends seamlessly with 2019 winter fashions. The edge of the gorget is fringed with fluffy faux fur. The Nimue is closed with a suede strap and a brass buckle.

The padded nature of this mantle also makes the wearing of pauldrons, gorgets, and bevors significantly more comfortable even without a gambeson.

Winning is gained through treachery and invites treachery against those who gain it!

The Shadow Armor Gorget & Pauldron Set is for those who spend their days defending against the daggers that would find their backs. This armor set comprises two hard leather pauldrons and a leather gorget, ideal for fantasy-based Larpers who crave battle. The jagged-edged pauldrons look similar to dragon scales and had adjustable shoulder pads that can stretch to fit most elite warriors. To put on the shoulder armor, simply slip your head through the gorget, and you are ready for combat. You can also attach the pauldron set to your plate armor or cuirass for a dramatic effect!

Mytholon's Vigor armour was designed for the more imposing characters on the battlefield – referring not only to their formidable fighting style. This armour sets generous dimensions make it comfortable for longer periods of time even for powerfully built warriors of any gender. 

The style is reminiscent of the massive armour suits familiar from certain well-known manufacturers of war based tabletop miniatures games that require hammers. The oversized bevor in particular lends the armour suit its exceptional look. "Vigor" is slightly burnished, giving the armour pieces a worn but well cared for appearance. The burnishing procedure may cause small spots similar to rain spatters. As the finish is applied individually for hand it is unique for every single set.
If you’d prefer your armour unburnished, and looking like a shiny warrior of light that constantly praises something, you can also easily remove the burnishing layer using a polishing cloth.

The bevor contributes a lot to the armour sets brute look. It is easy to adorn with wax seals or emblazon it with your coat of arms. It consists of two interlaced moving segments; the interior front segment slants way down and rests against the torso, ensuring that neither your vision nor your breathing are impaired. The outer neck segment rests on the spaulders and is broad enough to offer full mobility for your head.

It goes without saying that all edges of these armour pieces are rounded.

The parts of this armour set are manufactured by hand. For this reason, we ask you to allow for slight deviations in measurements and weight.

Adjustments to several of the measurements are possible by carefully bending the respective armour parts.

Bevor Measurements:

• Front segment height: 20.5cm
• Neck segment height: 18cm
• Side height: 8cm
• Length (front to neck) 37cm
• Width (inner) front segment: 23cm
• Width (outer) neck segment: 28.5cm
• Weight: 1.6kg

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 Gorget & Shoulders is fully articulated and designed to provide protection for the throat, neck and shoulders while minimizing the exposure of weak-spots. The armour is a four-piece set: a two piece gorget and two shoulders. The gorget covers the thorax to the sternum and is furnished with several ridges and two large octagonal besagues (round metal shields) to protect the notoriously under-armoured armpits from arrow-strikes. The two parts are fitted together with vegetable tanned top-grain leather straps. The gorget also provides fastenings for the shoulders. The shoulders are composed of articulated spaulders covering the shoulder-joint and upper arms, reinforced with large pauldrons sculpted to look like dragon’s wings to further protect the armpits. The shoulder plates are strapped on at the gorget and around the upper arms.

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
