Your morning routine is an essential to keeping yourself disciplined and fit. You wake early for sword drills, and before the sun is fully over the horizon you are eating breakfast and washing up for the day.

You secure your hose leggings to your Pourpoint, a rich coloured doublet that is the height of fashion. None shall doubt your ability or how good looking a knight you truly are.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Dark Red Pourpoint is a form-fitting long-sleeve coat covering the torso from the neck to the hips. It can be worn on its own or serve as padding under mail or armour. The pourpoint is donned like a jacket and secured along the front, sides and back with cotton cords, allowing you to customize the tightness of the fit. The arms are easily detachable by untying its cotton cords on the shoulders, each cord secured through long-lasting brass eyelets. Worn like a proper knight, you may attach hose and a leg harness to the four eyelets on the bottom front hem.

Thick enough to serve as its own armour, this durable doublet is constructed with layers of heavy green cotton. The Pourpoint is stitched together in vertical and diagonal lines, keeping the padding in place and giving the body a strong form-fitted appearance.

HISTORY

• Quilted armours have been around since at least 400 BCE
• Used as padding under chainmail or plate armour
• This particular style is inspired by 14th century doublets
• Eyelets at the bottom hem are designed to be used to keep up hose

A scarlet blur of swagger and panache, the dashing swashbuckler jumped from the balcony, landing on the shoulder of the statue of her Excellence the Empress herself, a good fifteen feet above the ground. Around the monument, palace courtiers and festive diplomats were laughing and clapping at the display of skill, convinced they just witnessed the surprise show of an impromptu acrobat. They quickly realized it wasn't exactly a planned event when a group of ironclad imperial guards reached the balcony, huffing and puffing under their plate armour. As they tried to strike the crimson outlaw with their halberds, it became clear this sword-bearing newcomer was some sort of intruder. Not losing a second, the nimble outlaw kissed goodbye to the armed guard before jumping from the statue's shoulder, using the stone Empress exaggerated dress rump as a ramp before landing with a pirouette in the middle of the assembly.
Up on the balcony, the guards were pushed aside by a red-faced and outraged Empress, dishevelled as she just got out of bed. She screamed in anger and injured ego: ''How dare you?! No one refuses the Empress! Arrest this ungrateful scoundrel!''
She ordered, spurring a few prideful nobles to draw their rapier and attempt to stop the nimble fleeing fencer. Apologizing in advance, the swashbuckler freed a long fencing dagger and a matching arming sword, before methodically destroying both the nobles' ego and their fancy clothes as they bit the dust, uninjured but out of commission. With a taunting reverence, the agile duellist turned toward the Empress and screamed, a giggle in the voice;
''I am quite sorry my dear, but I prefer to go with no strings attached. I am sure you will find another pretty face to join your so-called musketeers''.
And with a stunning smile, the adventurous insolent escaped through the gardens, leaving the Empress dealing with a small court scandal on top of her bruised pride.

This fancy fantasy sword is inspired by Renaissance aesthetics and a perfect weapon for a duellist, fencer, battle bard, noble warrior, or swashbuckler in LARP. With a complex hilt that protects the fingers in combat, this foam weapon allows a more aggressive combat style for true musketeer prowess.

The chainmail is made with aluminum riveted plain ring, reducing its weight, making it oiling free, and making it more comfortable with a hand sewn leather cuff.

Rawblade is a B2B company focused on the world of medieval reenactment and LARP. Rawblade contributes to the market with their know-how of Spanish crafts, a long tradition of furs and leather, as well as steel. Inspired by the famous Toledo steel, Rawblade develops a set of armours and chainmails.

The human team behind Rawblade is formed from the experience acquired at EvilTailors, as well as the various platforms that have been integrated into its collective over time. The hard work, designs, and ideas that make up the Rawblade catalogue are the result of inspiration in the world of medieval fantasy that has accompanied them since childhood. We believe Rawblade offers a quality wardrobe at a very competitive price.

Rawblade attempts to use products and producers primarily from Spain. All their leather goods are made 100% in Spain adding the seal of quality to the crafts. Their foam creations, clothes, and steel are designed and made in Spain and India.

The streets were quiet in the red glow of dawn, and Henri's heart skipped a beat as he recognized his rival for the fair maiden's hand. In truth, the man was a knave, but he'd kept his word and come alone. Without a word, they drew their swords, their shirts billowing with the motion.
The duel was brief; afterwards, Henri's heart was as still as the rain just before the sun rose. He had been no match for Henri's training with the King's Musketeers. Wiping the man's blood off the blade with his shirt, Henri marvelled at its material. It was the latest fashion, and this fencing shirt would serve him well. Once he got the blood out.

The Epic Armoury Crinkled Fencing Shirt is a loose garment made from soft cotton crepé. It sits around the waist, has a high collar, and laces through brass eyelets around the neck. It has a number of crinkles in the fabric, making it appear sophisticated. The sleeves tie around your wrists but billow when you move, invoking images of the buccaneers, musketeers, and swashbucklers of the Renaissance Period and the early-to-mid Age of Sail.

The material is slightly transparent but is kept in an otherwise neutral style so that it can be used with many different character styles.

Farhad wiped the blood from his shamshir. 
"Another lot of those damned Northern fools, Darab my friend" he sighed. "Perhaps they do not understand the ferocity of us Hashishin, and how we must protect it from them at all costs."
Darab stretched his Dervish Spear across his shoulders to work the stiffness from his shoulders, looking grim at the senselessness of the blood they had all just spilt upon the desert sands.
"They will never have it, Farhad. They will never enter the Juice Vault."

STYLE AND FUNCTION COMBINED

Epic Armoury's Gambeson Dastan is a padded long-sleeve coat covering the torso from neck, down over the hips and upper thighs both on the front and back. It can be worn on its own or serve as essential padding under mail or armour. The gambeson is donned like a jacket and closed on the front with straps, allowing the wearer to customize the tightness of the fit. The shoulders are easily detachable by untying its cotton cords on the shoulders and sleeves, each cord secured through long-lasting brass eyelets. The gambeson design is created with a two-colour design in mind, giving a splash of colour to it.

Thick enough to serve as its own armour, this sturdy gambeson is constructed with heavy layers of fluffed cotton canvas sandwiched between dyed wool on the outside and softer cotton lining on the inside. All these layers are stitched together in vertical lines, keeping the padding in place.

HISTORY

• Quilted armours have been around since at least 400 BCE
• Used as padding under chainmail or plate armour
• Could stop heavy arrows and mace and axe impacts with the addition of overlaying chainmail

A very becoming jacket with a small stand-up collar. It is closed with laces in the front and has got stitched eyelets. The lining inside matches the respective outside colour.

The "Jörg" doublet is a bicoloured, slit jacket made along historical patterns of the legendary lansquenet mercenaries. It is not certain, where this fashion originated from, but historians suggest, that lansquenets started cutting their clothing, for it was too tight for them to fight in them. This is, how this fashion came along with the famous mercenaries. The doublet is elaboratly cut and made from robust, high quality canvas material. It allows a very free movement when fighting. The five antique finished brass buttons in the front allow the doublet to be closed on cooler days. The lacing along the sleeves leads to the typical buffy look of the lansquenet fashion.

This doublet may not only be used for the reenactment of lansquenet, they are also well suited for nobility, merchants or pirates costumes.
