Leather Armour

An intimidating leather cuirass designed to protect the whole torso. Secure this armour tight over the chest and abdomen using two sturdy leather straps and brass buckles along each side. This cuirass is crafted to be especially hardy by stitching together overlapping full-grain leather and secured with brass studs. At the neck, an additional leather plate serves as a gorget. For additional protection, matching upper leg guards are attached to the cuirass with hardy leather straps. Along the rims of the armour, the edges are indented and painted white to unify the entire set. The effect is a dangerous looking piece of armour.

Shoulder Plates

Constructed to match the entire set, these shoulder plates are made from overlapping full-grain leather secured together by brass studs. The pauldron attaches to the cuirass over the shoulder by securing leather ties through the breastplate, protecting the head and neck with the additional leather-molded guard. Additional attached leather lames protect the upper arm and are secured with a hardy leather strap just above the elbows. Along the rims of the armour, the edges are indented and painted white to unify the entire set.

Gauntlet & Suede Glove

Constructed to match the Dark Elven set, this single gauntlet is made from overlapping full-grain leather secured together by brass studs. The effect is a clawed-like piece of armour meant to instill fear in your enemies. This gauntlet is designed to protect the top of the hand and the fingers, articulated to cover the knuckles while limiting only minimal movement. The gauntlet secures to the arm over a suede glove for comfort. Along the rims of the armour, the edges are indented and painted white to unify the entire set.

Red/Grey Wool Tunic

Made from a 78% wool blend, this layered long-sleeved tunic is made from heavy and durable cloth, making it water-tight except under extreme circumstances. Having undergone a light felting process, you can expect this tunic to withstand the abuse from a LARP without pulling apart. Wear this tunic beneath your Dark Elven gear for comfort and to add an intimidating touch that pulls the entire look together.
