You may have seen armour hoodies online before but ours are something special.
Of Science & Swords Armour Hoodies are equipped with:

• A two part helmet, with removable visor for easy washing;
• A built in sword frog at your hip, for smooth draw in combat
• Two dagger sheaths on the underside of each sleeve, in case you find yourself at close quarters
• Not one, but TWO swordbreaker shoulders

They are made locally, so if you have modifications you would like done, or are of a particular size we can even work with that. Just send us an email and let us know!

The way the human children look at you, you would assume they have never seen an elf before. Granted, it isn’t often that you travel into cities. You prefer the tranquil sounds of the forest, away from the stench and chaos of busy human streets.

However, you have business with a certain wizard in town. So while your elven garb--decorated Fur Hood, tunic, and weapons--cause you to stand out amongst the crowd, you continue without raising a fuss. After all, they are only short-lived creatures. They don’t know any better than to stare.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Fur Hood is an embroidered mantle with a long hood tail. The mantle covers the shoulders, keeping the upper chest warm while the hood protects the head and face from harsh wind. Elvish embroidery and polyester fur trim embellishes this hood, adding great detail to the felted wool. The inside is lined with soft, comfortable cotton.

Hoods are great garments for rounding off character looks, and the Fur Hood is a stylish garment that especially fits a roguish or elven character. Adjust the hood’s facial opening with flat split-leather cord lacing at the throat.

HISTORY

• One of the oldest garments known to humanity
• Common fashion in medieval Europe, especially with a hood

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.
