Product description
These tassets are based on historical originals from the late Middle Ages to the sixteenth century. This armor protects your weak spots, such as the hips, thighs and side against blows. These tassets do not fall off and are very comfortable to wear because you fasten them with leather belts to your waist and also over the shoulders. The belts are adjustable so you can adjust it to your optimal wearing style. You can also use these tassets for endless combinations. For example, you can combine them with various chestplates, with leg armors or even with leather armor. The choice is yours. This armor is 1 mm thick and suitable for LARP battles, costumes and Cosplay.

Maintenance & care
Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your armour regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper.
Attaching armour & chainmail
To attach your armour or chainmail securely, you can attach leather laces to your gambeson and fasten these to your armour / chainmail. The armour thus remains in position during a fight.
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.
Please note. After finishing the product yourself, the warranty and return right expire. Celtic WebMerchant is not responsible for the obtained result.
