Kaspar Torso

The "Kaspar" torso armour, consisting of front- and backplate, is the heart of this germans rider armour. To sit in the saddle or on anything else, there is a articulated plate made from 2 pieces in the back. The rims are to attach the fitting "Kaspar" tassets. The neck area of the armour is very wide, because unlike most armours, the "Kaspar" gorget is worn underneath the torso armour. We recommend to always wear a gambeson or at least a padded gorget underneath.

The browned areas, in combination with the blank bordering, up grade the browned variant. Being made along patterns from the mid 16th to mid 17th century, the german horse riders armour can be used for a wide range of various characters and costumes.

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.
