King Deal Leather

Many lands revere their warrior-kings and admire them in battle... but even the chosen lord of the people needs protection. The King set is more than regal enough to set even the Emperor of the Inner Kingdoms to peace. He certainly couldn't be killed by a boar.

A King deserves the attention of his subjects--his position and power demand such respect--but you also know he must look the part. You have hired the finest craftsmen in your land to create armour fitting a King’s status.

Embroidery embellishes the hems in gold and fine thread. A purple cloak drapes down from your sturdy, confident shoulders. And upon your chest, finely crafted leather with carved detailing marks you as something finer than the rest. No one shall look upon you with anything but admiration.

You, after all, are the King.

Along the rims of the armour, the edges are bordered with an engraving to unify the entire set. Decorated in Celtic knots and a Celtic Lion on the chest to symbolize protection and power, the effect is an impressive looking piece of armour fit for a king.

Wool Cloak

Wear this cloak attached to the King’s Leather Armour at the shoulders to add a regal touch that pulls the entire look together.

Embroidered Tunic

HISTORY

• Design is from the popular Danish LiveRolleSpil (Live Role Play) instructional books
• Golden embroidery would have been a significant sign of wealth
• Finely crafted leather cuirasses were often worn by high-ranking officers and officials, including several Roman Emperors
• Deep, long-lasting dyed fabrics like this cloak would have been reserved for the most wealthy members of society

The best made armour is crafted by the most skilled smiths, the leather worked with such precision and care that the wearer can move unhindered, but still protected on the battlefield.

You have commissioned a leather crafter to create a pair of Samurai Bracers for you. Before she is paid you want to be certain it is properly made armour, and so you conduct a test. With the bracers properly tied to your arm, you perform a series of sword drills, faster than the eye can properly see.

The bracers are perfect.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Samurai Bracers are a set of leather vambraces designed to protect the forearms and hands in combat. Made from full-grain leather, these bracers have been sculpted to comfortably follow the shape of the arms. The leather has been hardened and the edges curved to add structural strength that will ensure added protection and longevity.

Comfortably secure the Samurai Bracers by lacing the leather cords on the underside and tightly wrap the heavy cotton fabric around the wrist. Attach the handguard by gripping the cotton cord around the knuckles. Inspired by Asian traditional armour, these bracers are perfectly matched with other products from Epic Armoury’s Asian Universe.

HISTORY

• Hand and arm protection are one of the oldest forms of armour, due to its importance in combat
• This particular style might also be referred to as a demi-gauntlet, due to its limited finger protection

As a squire, you must wake with the sun to prepare for your training. You are responsible for your master as well as your extra chores, and it’s only after the morning’s water is boiled and you’ve set out your master’s clothing and armour that you are allowed to begin your drills.

What armour you own, a pair of Squire Bracers, is easy enough for you to wear as you practice your sword swings. One day you will be a fearsome knight. For now, you must continue to work hard.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Bracers Squire are sturdy leather armguards designed to protect the forearms during combat. Made from four thick full-grain leather plates fit together using tough leather cords, these bracers have great structural strength to make them last a long time and resist deformation. Comfort is also important, as these bracers feature soft split-leather lining against your skin on the inside.

Secure this gauntlet to your arm by adjusting the leather cord lacing to your desired tightness. The style is timeless and moderate, and is fully compatible with other Epic Armoury leather and metal armours, giving you the freedom to customize your costume.

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
