Leather Brigandine

Epic Armoury's Leather Brigandine is leather armor reinforced with heavy leather plates designed to protect the entire torso, upper thighs and groin. Made from vegetable tanned full-grain leather and brass coated rivets, this menacing waistcoat is both lightweight and durable. Secure this brigandine with five heavy leather straps and brass buckles down the front, further adjustable by tightening leather cords along the flanks between the armpit and midthigh.

The Leather Brigandine is fully compatible with other Epic Armoury armors, and its distinctive but low-fantasy style allow it to be used across games and characters. With the proper leather care, you can expect this armor to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment for a long time!

• Available in Epic Black and Ox Brown colors
