Product description
These arm pieces are made after various historical originals. They are depicted on the tombs of Günther von Schwarzburg (1349) and Sir Thomas Cheyne (1375) and can be worn both by late 14th-century aristocracy and commoners. Leather armor combined with steel plates was a relatively simple way to create armor components. They were often worn over mail. From the 15th century onwards, this method gradually fell out of use. This arm armor is made from 1.4 mm thick steel and suede leather. At the top, these arm pieces can be easily attached to a gambeson or mail. They can be well paired with, for example, shoulder pieces. Since the arm armor is made of leather, it can be easily adjusted for a better fit.
