Landsknecht Spaulders

They are a striking example of functional pageantry, shoulder armor that delivers both battlefield practicality and theatrical presence. Inspired by the flamboyant mercenaries of the 16th century, these spaulders complete the Landsknecht silhouette with their bold, layered profile and dynamic range of motion.

Each pauldron features four overlapping lames, shaped to follow the curve of the upper arm and allow natural movement in combat. A prominent shoulder dome anchors the piece, while a sculpted besagew plate protects the armpit and adds visual distinction, a nod to late-medieval armor traditions. Together, these elements create a shoulder defense that is both commanding and flexible.

Forged from 1 mm thick steel, the spaulders are suited for LARP, reenactment, and theatrical use, offering reliable protection without sacrificing mobility. The articulated construction ensures smooth motion whether you're swinging a blade, holding formation, or taking the stage.

These spaulders are designed to pair with a gorget or cuirass, and attach using straps or lacing at the shoulder. When worn as part of the full Landsknecht Armour Set, they blend seamlessly into the silhouette, but they’re just as effective when used to elevate a simpler kit or custom build.
