Shoulder Plate Merc - Light Kit

Epic Armoury’s Shoulder plates are a set of two PU shoulder guards with spaulders. The spaulders have three ridged PU plates or lames overlaying one another to provide laminate protection of the upper arms. The shoulder plates are fastened with leather straps around the biceps and at the shoulder blade, attaching to a breastplate, gorget or gambeson, bought separately.

The Shoulder Plate Merc are designed to match Epic Armoury’s Mercenary Armour, but is fully usable with other Epic Armoury armor products, giving you the freedom to customize your character’s kit. Made from form molded PU (Polyurea), and leather straps and fittings, this armor piece is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or ren fairs with regular leather care for the straps 

• Form molded PU (Polyurea) construction, rigid and durable
• Leather straps and fittings for fastening around the biceps and shoulder blade
• Attaches to a breastplate, gorget or gambeson (sold separately)
• Comes in Steel Gray, S-M and L-XL

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.
