Cloak Pin - Plain

Need something to keep your cloak closed and don't want to use rope like a hobo or monk? or a mobo?!

Then get yourself a cloak pin!

Available in three different styles for varying levels of fanciness.

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 cape is secure thanks to your Cloak Pin, and it 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 Cloak Pin - Plain is a durable metal pin inspired by the historical penannular brooch. Made from a black iron ring and bar, use this pin to close your cloak by sliding the bar through both layers of pinned fabric and securing the bar with the ring.

The Cloak Pin is an authentic accessory that adds a special detail to your costume beyond just a simple leather cord or frog on your cloak.

HISTORY

• Cloak pins were found in female burial sites of Ancient Celtic women
• Inspired by the Celtic penannular brooch which was popular in Ireland and Scotland, and later adopted by the Scandinavians

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--Cape Exclusive, 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 Cape Exclusive is a beautifully adorned long cape with a hood. Designed to provide significant cover thanks to the rounded shoulders, this cape offers protection from the elements from head to the mid-calf. Made from heavy cotton twill to keep you warm, the inside is lined with soft cotton to add comfort and weight for cold days. Elvish embroidery embellishes this cape, adding great detail to an already high quality product.

Capes are great garments for rounding off character looks, and the Cape Exclusive is a stylish layer that especially fits a roguish or elven character. Secure the cape around your neck by tying the cotton straps at the throat.

HISTORY

• One of the oldest garments known to humanity
• Common fashion in medieval Europe, especially with a hood
• Hoods were a common garment worn by all social classes in a huge variety of forms and shapes

Fibulas have been used since the bronze age to close clothing on the wearers' body. Often referred to as "the buttons before there were buttons", they were used up to the late medieval period until the button and buttonhole were introduced. Used as jewlery they were often decorating the rich.

Mytholon's Sylvana fibula is such a decorative fibula.
As with all their steel and iron ware, it is made by hand.
The fibula is beatifully decorated with leaves on its end. The ring is completly torqued. It was sanded down only a little to keep the rough, wrought iron look.

All our cloaks and coats can be worn with a fibula, but please note that the removal of the buttons or creation of holes with the fibula's "thorn" may void the warranty.
