Brown Broad Belt (Medium)

The street is a hard place to conduct business, but it’s a way of life you’ve become very good at keeping. Two coppers jingle in the pouch hanging from your Broad Belt, but by the end of the day you’re determined to increase the lot to a gold or two. A good card game and a poor ol’ sap is all it takes.

On your way to your regular spot you pass a lovely lady in a fine dress. You may be a ruffian, but with your candid smile you give the lady a tip of your fanciful top hat. She looks flattered, which is a good distraction...because now you’ve got a silver to add to the copper in your pouch.

just try not to fall over on top of it. The bag will win that one.

Sneaking through the bandit’s hideout, you pause as a particular chest catches your eye. A true adventure always comes with its fair share of loot, you think, as you inspect for traps. All seems well as you start to pick the lock, wondering what sort of treasure the bandits might be hiding.

The lid opens with an awful creak--you’re sure someone will have heard it!--and as you look inside you are excited to find the entire chest full of stolen coins and gems. You don’t have much time as you scoop several handfuls into your Imperial Leather Bag, thanking the fact that your bag is big enough to carry so much, before you jingle toward the exit.

It’s about time something good came out of this journey!

Epic Armoury’s Imperial Leather Bag is a rigid leather box intended to hang from the belt. The lid is deep and overlaps the bottom in order to keep the contents safely inside. It is locked by pushing a brass knob through the front leather strap, and is attached to the belt using the two leather straps on the back.

The Imperial Leather Bag is made from vegetable-tanned, full-grain leather and is stitched around the edges to ensure a product that will withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment. The bag is low-fantasy, fully compatible with other Epic Armoury items, and can go with almost any character or universe you care to imagine.

HISTORY

• Historically referred to and used like a “pocket” before pockets were added to clothing
• Pouches worn at the belt have been found in Swedish and English burial sites pre-dating 1000 A.D.

A fantastic pack for holding IRL useful items, such as phones, wallets or first aid measures.

The Square Leather Bag Black is a large, finely decorated bag to be worn in the belt. It is decorated around the rims with a thin band of tough top-grain leather with patterned ticks or crosses made from flattened leather cord set at regular intervals. The band also serves the belt hanger, leaving space on the back of the box to fit a thick leather belt. Behind the bands, the box is stitched to add resistance to the leather, keeping it from deforming under extended stress. The large capacity inside is enclosed by a strong lid, locked in place with an adjustable leather cord locking around an ornamental leather bow. The box is made from vegetable-tanned, black full-grain leather. It is a decorative piece of equipment with a style that fits well with almost all Epic Armoury’s items.

As you double-check that your military-issued Roman Belt and other armour is secure, you feel prepared alongside your fellow soldiers to go into battle. You just hope that your training will continue to serve you well. At the very least, you have confidence in the sharpness of your weapon.
