Cape Wool

The snows have come, but despite the cold your village still depends on you to defend it from hungry raiders. The northern winters can be harsh, making men and women particularly desperate.

Thankfully, your Wool Cape is secure and keeps you warm. You keep the hood over your head as you patrol the walls, pulling it close to keep away the biting wind. At least it is easy to spot incoming trouble against the pure white of snow. You’ll see anyone coming.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Wool Cape is a heavy, water-tight cape with form-fitting shoulders and a deep hood. The cape protects the head down to the mid-calf from the elements, hanging naturally from the shoulders without impeding your movement. Made from heavy wool blend fabric, keep warm and comfortable in snow or rain.

Capes are great garments for rounding off character looks, and the Wool Cape is a practical layer that fits a wide range of characters. Secure the cape around your neck by tying the wool straps at the throat.

Available in sizes Small/Medium and Large/X-Large; and colours Dark Red and Grey.

MAINTENANCE

As a tight weave fabric, this light canvas product is stronger and heavier than simple cotton. This material wrinkles easily, but can be ironed on a higher heat level.

Cleaning

Machine wash at 30°C / 86°F. Wash separately the first time and with similar colours afterwards. Do not tumble dry! Lay the garment out flat to dry.

You’ve been on the run from the bandit gang all night after escaping from their hideout, and while they scour the roads and search in town, you’ve taken to the woods. You’re a smart adventurer, after all--or at least one that is smart enough to still be alive.

Hiding in the underbrush and using your Ready-for-Battle Cape for warmth, you decide to wait the bandits out until you can sneak away with their loot. Of course, your plan doesn’t really account for the possibility of running into wild beasts.

Here’s hoping the wolves aren’t hungry.

DETAILS

This Ready-for-Battle Cape is an advanced semi-circular cape: short at the flanks, long at the back, and fitted with a hood with cotton-strap fastenings. This design combines ease of movement with the best degree of protection from the elements. Made from durable cotton, this cape is easily made water resistant with a treatment at home.

Capes make great accessories if you need to add layering to your character’s costume, as capes have become almost synonymous with medieval and fantasy clothing. Capes are also highly practical in limiting the impact of wind, rain or sun.

The Ready-for-Battle Cape is a classic cut and will be usable by any character in any game world, allowing freedom when customizing equipment for your characters.

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

Simple, but simply good!

The Aaron cloak has a plain classic cut, a large hood and is closed with a button.

Made from sturdy cotton canvas it protects you against wind and rain. The amazing price-performance ratio makes it one of our most favoured articles. The cloak comes in various colours so it matches almost all types of costumes.

A faithful companion for a real good price!

A simple but stylish cloak. What is special about it is the binding. Two long straps have to be crossed over the chest, behind the back and knotted around the belly. Thus the cloak stays in place and does not pull at the throat even if the wearer is moving a lot. It goes along perfectly well with armour as it will cover the binding in the front and the cloak will fit nicely around the collar.
