DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Cape Godfrey Wool is an ankle-length cape with shorter sides, fitted with a hood and cotton-cord fastenings. This design offers more mobility of the arms, allowing them to easily slide from beneath the cape when hands are needed without sacrificing protection from the elements. This cape makes a great accessory if you need to add layering to your character’s costume, as capes have become synonymous with medieval and fantasy clothing. Capes are also highly practical in limiting the impact of wind, rain or sun.
The Cape Godfrey Wool is an exceptional cut usable by an assortment of characters, allowing freedom when customizing your equipment. Secure the cape around the neck by tying the cotton-straps. Made from a green wool blend, this cape is easily made water resistant with a treatment at home.
HISTORY
- One of the oldest garments known to humanity
- Common fashion in medieval Europe, especially when combined with a hood
The sword sits in your baldric hanging down over your Fencing Shirt, faithful to its master despite the challenges. It has been a long and dusty road, but that sword has remained at your side through it all.
As your infantry unit comes to a halt, there is the tension one always feels before the fight. You resist the anxiety, because the moment you step into battle all of that must fade away. It will be you fighting alongside your fellow soldiers, and it will be the sword hanging in your trusted baldric that keeps you alive.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Fencing Shirt is a loose roguish garment designed for comfort and style. Made from medium cotton, this shirt falls just under the hip and is fitted with a high collar with a v-neckline. Adjust the collar opening with a laced cotton cord through brass eyelets. The sleeves are designed to give a full, loose look associated with swashbucklers, pirates and musketeers. Tighten a cotton cord at the wrists to keep the fabric out of the way, made to easily fit inside a pair of gloves or gauntlets.
The style is classic late renaissance, but will match a wide variety of characters. Match with other Epic Armoury clothes and armours to create your personalized look.
HISTORY
- Shirts began as a form of undergarments for men in the 7th-10th centuries
- Considered more of a Renaissance-era fashion for men with its billowy sleeves
- Traditionally worn as an underlayer beneath a doublet or vest
Donning your kimono and Jin Baori every morning is as much a ritual as a tea ceremony. Carefully inspected and folded the night before, it is of the utmost importance that a samurai of your stature maintain a pristine uniform. To look sloppy implies that your discipline is lacking--and by that logic, your swordsmanship must be, too.
Instead of risking such dishonor to your reputation, you take the care that is necessary. There will not be a thread out of place.
DETAILS
The Epic Armoury Jin Baori is a traditional open overcoat to be worn over a high-ranking samurai’s armour. Reaching from the shoulders to the mid-thigh and edged with broad golden bands along the collar and hem, this handsome garment adds detail and interest to an Asian-inspired costume. Fit shoulder armour outside the Jin-Baori by threading straps through the four eyelets located on the back and front. Each eyelet is clearly marked by golden edging, adding strength and aesthetic appeal.
On the back, the Jin-Baori has two slits allowing maximum mobility. These slits also allow a sword to hang comfortably from a belt beneath the coat. The garment is made of durable, but comfortable cotton with gold coloured cotton edging. Fully compatible with Epic Armoury's other Asian styles, the Jin-Baori is for the warrior looking to display his status and skill on the field of glory.
HISTORY
- Historically made for armoured samurai to wear
- Considered a type of haori, which is a kimono-like jacket that adds formality to an outfit
- Traditionally a male garment until the Meiji period

Silence. Perfect silence.
You use the silence as a cloak of armour, masked in the darkness and waiting for danger to show itself. You ready your sword, prepared to launch your deadly attack should your Lord’s assassins appear. One quick slice and they will breathe their last, you sword hitting its mark and your Kimono becoming soaked in their dark red blood. When you vanish once more, you’ll leave any of their allies bewildered and afraid.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Dark Red Kimono is a traditional Japanese T-shaped robe with ¾ length sleeves made from heavy red cotton and a reinforced collar. Reaching from the shoulders to the upper thighs, this garment is a great base to an Ancestral costume. The Kimono is worn by tying the left over the right side, securing its cotton straps located on the inside and outside of the waist. The sleeves hang loose just above the wrists, leaving the hands free and allowing the greatest possible freedom of action.
Fully compatible with Epic Armoury's other Asian styles, the Kimono is a great basis for almost any samurai-inspired character you wish to make - be it honourable warrior or dishonoured thief.
HISTORY
- A traditional Japanese garment since the 8th century
- Resembles a kosode, which is a shorter sleeved kimono worn with a hakama
- Traditionally secured with a sash tied at the back called an obi
- Always traditionally tied with the left over the right side, except when dressing the dead
You walk with your young charge, giving advice on his apparel. “Few things in this world are as useful as a good cloak, young master,” you say from experience.
“They’re sturdy and warm, with a hood to keep off the rain and the sun. They swirl at the hem to give you that theatricality that people are so fond of. Use it as a blanket and bedroll when you’re out adventuring, or to ease a muddy crossing. Yes, young master, a good cloak is the most important thing you could have.”
DETAILS

Its round hood offers additional protection to the head. The length is short, reaching from the shoulders to the mid-calves, keeping it from dragging in the mud.
Secure this Cape by fastening it at the neck with cotton straps. The cape is a versatile and useful garment when rounding off a character's look, and offers protection from the elements. The Epic Armoury Cape is a neutral item with a simple cut that will go with almost any character regardless of setting or culture.
