Adventurer Swordholder - Left Hand Draw (Brown)

Ever seen a proper swashbuckler without a decent swordholder? Didn't think so. Fancy yourself one? Get this.

As an Adventurer, you never know who you might be working for or what beast you’ll be sent to dispatch next. There’s only one thing for certain: if there’s enough money or glory to be had, you’re the right person for the job.

Admittedly, when the farmer came running into town claiming his crops had been torched, you hadn’t anticipated a trap. By the time you realized that the farmer was luring you into a bandit ambush, they already had you captured. At least your Adventurer Swordholder kept your sword safe! Now, if you can just wiggle out of those ropes enough to grab the hilt…A bandit notices and takes your sword and your Adventurer Swordholder for himself.

You really need to rethink trusting farmers.

The forest is serene this morning as you head out along the trails. Birds are singing and the weather is crisp, perfect for working without breaking too much of a sweat. But as you approach the dead tree you’d marked the day before, you believe you hear something in the underbrush.

Your calloused, strong hand wraps around the handle of your axe hanging from your X Belt. The edge is freshly sharpened, and you’re ready to defend yourself from any beast that you might find--relieved as a neighbor’s dog comes bounding out from a bush, instead.

Back to work.

One belt not holding up your chainmail pants?

TRY TWO!

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 Twin 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.

DETAILS

This bestselling Epic Armoury Twin Belt is a stylish and durable leather belt fashioned from two slimmer belts merged into one. Made from two buffalo-leather straps and stitched together by leather braces in an ornate pattern, this belt has a truly medieval look.

The two braces are fitted with brass D-rings for attaching or suspending bags and other equipment. Usable by a large variety of shapes and sizes due to its long 40 cm belt-tongues and nine punched holes, this belt is a perfect solution for anyone’s kit. With its simple style and rings, the belt is both functional and stylish, and can be used by lords or peasants--no matter race or culture.

Available in Brown, Black, Red, Blue, and Green. One size fits all.

A rectangular box of hardneed leather suitable for carrying valuables into the thick of the field.

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!

DETAILS

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.

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.

DETAILS

HISTORY

• Referred to as a cingulum militare, or military belt, and was worn as a badge of rank by Roman soldiers
• Belts have been documented for male clothing since the Bronze Age between 3200–600 B.C.
