Milanese Cuirass - Light kit

The Milanese Armour - (Light Kit) brings the aesthetic of classic 15th-century Italian armor to the field with a focus on agility. Crafted from high-density polyurea, this cuirass offers the polished look of traditional steel armor while remaining significantly lighter and more flexible. It is designed for characters who need a high-fantasy, knightly appearance without the weight or maintenance of metal plates.

The cuirass is sculpted to provide focused protection for the torso, featuring an integrated beveled plate on the chest designed to deflect incoming attacks. The finish mimics a high-gloss, polished aesthetic, making it an immediate visual upgrade for any character kit. Because it is made from durable polyurea, it is entirely rust-proof, dent-resistant, and requires no oiling or polishing to maintain its pristine look.

Secure the cuirass using the robust full grain leather straps, allowing for a comfortable fit over a gambeson or arming doublet. It is fully compatible with Epic Armoury’s faulds and tassets, providing you the flexibility to build a custom harness that suits your specific role, whether you are a noble defender or a traveling knight.

Fit, adjustment & care

• The strap system handles most sizing on its own, but for a closer fit, you can gently reshape the material itself using heat. Apply heat to the inside of the piece rather than the painted exterior, so the material becomes flexible without damaging the finish.
• Finish: The base material underneath the painted surface is black, so over time, scratches and general wear may reveal this black color underneath.
• Easy touch-ups: Minor cosmetic damage, such as scuffs or scratches can be simply repaired at home using a primer and acrylic hobby paints (such as Army Painter or Citadel).
• Leather care: The leather straps should be maintained like any other full-grain leather product, with occasional conditioning to keep them supple and long-lasting.
• A living finish: Wear and patina are a natural part of your armor's lifecycle and can be expected with regular use, adding to the authentic, battle-worn character of the piece.
