Gabriel Boot Gaiters Suede

The "Gabriel" boot gaiters can be easily worn over any footwear. They not only protect from moisture and undergrowth, they also conceal shoes that look too modern for medieval markets or LARPs. Made of soft suede, they fit to many different costume ideas. The boot gaiters are closed by buttons on the side and can be further adjusted by a lacing on the inside. They have a decorative cuff that extends to the bottom of the knee. 

Material: Suede

"Sir, I don't think they're real pirates."
"What do you mean, Navigator?"
"Well, Captain, their flag only has one bone, they demanded we handed over limes, and their personal hygeine seems impeccable."
"A pox on what you say, look at their shoes! B'lud, they are but the serious business!"

The treasures of the sea are vast and varied. The last ship unfortunate enough to have crossed your path had all sorts of interesting prizes.

One well dressed fellow even had a set of surprisingly useful Pirate Gaiters on him. Since he no longer needs them, you’ve taken them for yourself and have grown to like the way they protect your expensive boots from the harsh salt sprays and occasional sword blow.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Black Pirate Gaiters are protective garments designed to be worn over shoes or boots. These knee-high gaiters keep the ankle, shins, calves and the top of the foot safe from treacherous briars or thick mud. Secure them by adjusting the six leather straps at the calf and one strap around the arch of the shoe, making them usable with nearly any size shoe or calf. An additional strap along the bottom hooks around the heel to keep the edges from curling.

Cover your footwear with these gaiters to turn modern shoes into period-appropriate wear that will fit a pirate or equally scruffy scoundrel of ill-repute. With a black synthetic leather body, leather straps and heel, and a canvas lining, these gaiters are built to withstand extensive abuse with regular leather care.

HISTORY

• Primarily used as protective equipment against underbrush, or to keep mud from entering the boot
• Historically used for horseback riding to protect the rider’s leg from wear

These pants are the perfect complement to our Gustav jacket. Both in combination are modeled on military dresses of the 15th and 16th centuries. The pants themselves are closed with a lashing strap at the hip, but can also accommodate a belt. For this we have attached belt loops. At the front of the crotch is an indicated shame capsule quilted in herringbone pattern. 

A beautiful detail to lean the pants even closer to models from the era. 

A warm warrior will always fight harder.

Our medieval chausses can be worn beneath your armor and are strong enough to withstand the rigours of Larp battle. Keep your character warm and stylish by wearing this medieval hose.
