Merc Tassets
Modeled on the armour typically worn by late medieval and renaissance pikemen, Epic Armoury's Mercenary Tassets protect the hips and upper thighs with three broad, overlapping metal plates laced together with leather cords for laminate-style coverage. The pelvis itself stays exposed, so a cod-piece is typically added for groin protection.
Built specifically to match Epic Armoury's Mercenary Armour, these tassets are the one piece in the line not interchangeable with the rest of Epic Armoury's metal products. They're made from 0.04 in mild steel with full-grain leather straps and fittings, and stand up to LARP or reenactment use with routine leather and metal armour care.
- Available in Polished Steel and Epic Dark colors
- Available in sizes S/M and L/XL
History
- Plate armour became more popular as firearm technology became more prevalent during the 13th century
- Historically designed with sculpted ridges and overlapping plates to provide reinforced protection and to deflect attacks on a chaotic battlefield
