RFB Fighter Leather Armour - 2nd Quality
The line breaks and no one wants to be the one who faces you next. Your laugh is too loud, too wild — it sounds like a man who's already lost his mind to the thrill of the fight. So if they won't come to you, you go to them. A blade thuds against the rust-marked plates of your armour and barely leaves a scratch. You see the fear in your opponent's eyes as your axe comes down.
You are Raynor Ironshood, and every soul on this field will learn to fear you.
Details
This is Epic Armoury's Ready-for-Battle Fighter Armour in 2nd Quality condition — a leather cuirass that picked up minor rust damage in transit to the warehouse (photos show the actual condition). The rust is cosmetic only and doesn't compromise the armour's safety; a bit of elbow grease and care will improve its look further. Rather than scrap these pieces, Epic Armoury discounts them for characters with a more weathered, rustic aesthetic.
The cuirass is cut from brown, chrome-tanned plated leather riveted with brass studs onto a soft split-leather backing. Elongated side panels guard the flanks, while shorter front and back plates connect through sturdy leather straps and iron buckles. The shoulder plates are reinforced by a leather strap running from the front plate to a second set of iron buckles at the back, giving the whole piece a highly adjustable, individually snug fit.
Soft split leather hems the armour to resist deforming under heavy use. It's fully interchangeable with other Epic Armoury products, and its light weight and neutral styling make it a flexible fit for nearly any world or character concept — a strong pick for a first adventure.
This 2nd Quality piece comes in Black and Brown, in sizes Small, Medium, Large, and X-Large.
History
- Inspired by "brigandine" armour from the Middle Ages, but lighter, without the metal plates riveted into the original
- The inspiring style came into wide use during the 15th century
