Product description
This upper leg armor is made after the upper leg pieces of the Avant armor. Leg armor like this was worn throughout Europe between approximately 1440 and 1500 AD. The armor offers optimal protection to the upper leg and knee. The knee pieces are equipped with roundels, so that they also protect the backs of the knees.
These leg pieces are equipped with a leather edge so that they can easily be attached to the belt. This means that they can also be worn as separate armor components. This leg armor is 1.2 mm thick and can be attached to the leg by means of straps.

Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
