Kettle Helmet

You stand watch from the tower, keeping your guard post even when all seems quiet. While the hour is late and it is unlikely that the enemy will attack tonight, it is your duty to keep the camp safe. At the first sign of danger, you are to sound the alarm.

Leaning on your spear and adjusting your Kettle Hat, you stifle an exhausted yawn. You are prepared to wait and to watch for hours, but that does not make you miss your bed any less. Some coffee would be much appreciated.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Kettle Hat is a steel helmet inspired by infantry armour used during the Middle Ages. The Kettle Hat’s brim is broad and sloped in order to protect the head and face from weapons, projectiles and the sun. Wear this helmet with a metal coif for additional neck and cheek protection.

Secure the Kettle Hat by tightening the leather strap beneath the chin, keeping the helmet in place. Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and top-grain leather straps and fittings, this armour piece is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armour care.

Available in sizes Medium and Large.

The Black Iron Prison was the ultimate tool of the enduring Empire, and the Empire never ended.

You are one of the king’s best hunters, tasked with tracking down a stag in the king’s forest. You creep through the ancient trees, searching for signs of the great deer.

With your Imperial Quiver, your arrows are at the ready as you finally find the animal’s trail. There will be a feast tonight.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Epic Black Imperial Quiver is a rustic, adjustable quiver for carrying your arrows--no matter the number--on the field. It fits most LARP arrows and is made from black leather and beige canvas. Adjust the leather cord lacing along the front to tighten or loosen the quiver, allowing for a snug and safe fit around your arrows.

The quiver comes with a long leather belt with a brass-plated iron buckle, and is attached to a leather plate at the top and a buckle at the bottom. All of the straps and buckles can be reversed so that it can be worn over either shoulder. An additional attached strap goes around the chest and keeps the quiver secure against the back.

The Imperial Quiver is neutral in style and colour and matches other Epic Armoury leather items, making it a good choice for any archer, no matter what race or world you wish to play.

HISTORY

• Historically, quivers could be attached in various positions, including: the back, the belt, the ground, or the archer’s limbs
• Traditionally made of leather, wood, furs, and other natural materials

Vegetable-tanned leather with rivets riveted, available in black or brown.
A fantastic look for the classic neo Victorian gentleperson that wishes to prevent scallywags from running them through with jabby whatnots. 

You look upon your leading officer as he makes his way down the line of your fellow soldiers. Your fate and the fate of your entire unit is dependent on this veteran’s word, and you find yourself relieved not to shoulder such a heavy burden.

“We must fight!” your officer shouts for all to hear. You adjust your Soldier Armour, double checking the buckles as you listen to him continue. “For our homes and for our families, we will fight until we can fight no more!” With a resounding cheer, your fellow soldiers ready themselves for the charge. You withdraw your weapon, swallowing back your fear.

The battle has begun.

DETAILS

The bestselling Epic Armoury Soldier Armour is a handsome leather cuirass designed to protect the whole torso. Secure this armour tight over the chest and abdomen using four sturdy leather straps and brass buckles, with further adjustments available along the flanks by tightening strong leather cords for a perfect fit.

This cuirass is crafted to be especially hardy by stitching overlapping full-grain leather secured with shiny brass studs. At the neck, an additional leather plate serves as a gorget. Along the rims of the armour, the edges are bound with flattened leather cords. The effect is a solid piece of armour with lines suggesting a slim waist and broad shoulders.

Epic Armoury's Soldier Armour is compatible with all other Epic Armoury leathers and metal works, and is designed to fit various character types.

Available in Black and Brown, and size Medium.

HISTORY

• Historically looked down upon as a form of armor
• Finely crafted leather cuirasses were often worn by high-ranking officers and officials, including several Roman Emperors
