Ottokar Bascinet

This helmet is the classic bascinet with visor. It is a rounded face mask with slim slits for the eyes and many holes in the face for better breathing.

The visor can be moved to the top to have an uncovered face for communication and better visibility.

Additionally the helmet is equipped with a long sleeve of chain mail to protect neck and shoulders. It is woven in the classical european "4-in-1" pattern and unrivited. The rings have an inner diameter of 10mm and a thickness of 1mm.

The helmet is made from 1,6mm steel and therefore thick enough for LARP and stagefight purposes.

The padded coif "Leopold" is, like a classic coif, fixed under the chin with two sturdy ribbons of cotton. Under a helmet, it gives this considerably more wearing comfort and protective effect. Of course, it can also be worn as a stand-alone headgear.

The parts of the "Arthur" gambeson series are stiched in diamond-shape. This allows a good mobility without reducing the protection. The vest is closed by four roll buckles on the front. At the armholes and at the bottom hem, it is fogged with brass eyelets on which the sleeves and tassets are fixed.

The collar is finely quilted. This brings more comfort and agility to the neck area. The elbows are additionally upholstered.

The complete set of the ' Arthur ' series with vests, sleeves and tassets is available in black and brown.

"Arthur " is slightly thinner and therefore very comfortable to wear under plate armor. Of course, this fine set of gambeson can also be combined with any chain armor.

Mothers of squires would often tie their steel mittens together so that they didn't lose one half of the pair on their long crusades with the other boys.

This may not be the most accurate statement, but we've found that random facts found inside wrappers of various foods haven't led us astray yet.

A Knight in armour is the most courageous in battle, if not fearless.

Epic Armoury's Polished Steel Mittens are a much-needed addition to any Larp soldiers kit. This pair of hand armor consists of a series of overlapping plates riveted together, protecting the knight's hands, fingers and wrists from enemy attack. Although this pair of medieval gauntlets does restrict some movement, it is still quite efficient for true soldiers who desire the ultimate protection when facing dire situations. Each gauntlet is designed to be worn over the soldier's hand or glove and comes with a series of leather straps through which the warrior can secure it, making it simple to put on. Our craftsmen have designed this 1mm steel armour to perform well in battle, and your survival now rests in your capable hands.

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.

Fear No One

Epic Armoury’s Polished Steel Persian Helmet is your solution for complete head protection. Inspired by ancient Asian armour, this helmet is made of 1 mm thick mild steel and features a tall bowled head with a pointed crest that has been capped with a decorative plate. A nasal guard extends up over the forehead and offers great protection to the face without limiting too much visibility, and it creates an impressive silhouette on the battlefield. It can be removed by loosening the front bolt.

A full chainmail aventail provides protection to both the neck and the face, and is hooked directly onto the helmet and around a strong band of metal that forms the two eye holes. These holes are wide for visibility! The chainmail is lined with leather around the eyes and in the front for comfort and to keep the links in place.

Secure the Persian Helmet by tightening the leather strap beneath the chin, keeping the helmet in place. An Off-White Persian Headband is included with your helmet, and can be strapped around the helmet’s crown and attached to the back using four holes in the metal.

Inspired by the Khula Khud

• An aventail is a veil of chainmail that attaches to the helmet and offers protection; it replaced the chainmail hood coif by the 14th century
• Khula Khuds were a type of helmet used by ancient western Asia, and included the use of an aventail
• Also very similar to a conical shaped Turban Helmet worn in the Ottoman Empire

This helmet is built along the historical bouronet from the early 16th century. The head is well protected inside a round scull cap with a high riser in the centre of the spine. The face is covered by the small brim in the front and the two cheek flaps on the sides. Both flaps are punched with a floral pattern aside the ears to allow a better hearing.

The helmet has an enlongened neckpiece, so that the part between cuirass and helmet is closed as well.

The burgonet developed from the sallet in the 16th century and was, just behind the Morion, the most worn helmet in the 16th and 17th century.

We recommend to wear a padded coif underneath to avoid scratches and bruises. This will maximize your comfort.

A HEINOUS HELMET!

 "What do they look like? I do not know! Who can imagine what a face of such soulless malice really looks like? I doubt they even have a face. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if those doomed helmets only contain everlasting darkness and hunger to cause suffering.”

The Marauder Helmet provides unyielding, ruinous protection and is made from mild steel in Epic Dark and Epic Grey colours to emphasise a sinister and unholy origin. It is designed with star-shaped place-holder screws that are replaceable with mountable accessories such as the Mountable Demon Horns and minor grips, making it possible to attach heinous additions such as a Goblin Shrunken Head or a Halfling Tongue Trophy.

A HANDSOMELY HIDEOUS HELMET!

“How do they look? I do not know! The few times I was unfortunate to cross their path, I never saw a full face. Their glaring eyes glowed in the dark on the far side of the mire, but I saw only darkness up close. Pray that you shall never meet these raiding inhuman predators!”

The Raider Helmet offers armour with an antique, almost amphibian appearance that is perfect for any combative character with an alien ambience. The helmet is made of mild steel and padded with leather for comfort. It is the crowning piece of the Raider Armour but can be combined with other armour types for a specialised look. Whether you play human or monster, dragon rider or mire walker, noble savage or evil lurker, the Raider Helmet will contribute to unforgettable characters in future stories!
