"A sound harness is built plate by plate, and a warrior neglects the lower skirt at their peril." Osric, Keeper of the Hearth & Forge
Throughout history, across the steppes of Asia, the ramparts of Byzantium, Eastern Europe, and the halls of the Norsemen, warriors favoured lamellar armour. Unlike linked maille, this defence relies upon individual overlapping metal plates laced into a resilient, cohesive defence.
These terminal lamellar plates are fashioned from polished 20 gauge mild steel, designed specifically to finish the lower fringes and skirts of a cuirass. Each plate arrives cut and pre-drilled, ready for your leather thongs or cords at the workbench. Whether you are assembling a full historic harness from scratch, restoring damaged sections from heavy field drills, or constructing kit for living history and LARP combat, these scales offer dependable service.
As these plates are shaped by hand, expect slight variations in finish across the batch?the honest mark of authentic handcraft rather than soulless mass fabrication.
To preserve your steel against moisture and salt in the field, keep them well maintained. Wipe every plate thoroughly dry after each muster, apply a steady, light coating of protective oil, and store your harness in a dry place. Secure your cordage tightly through each pre-drilled hole, stagger your rows correctly, and these plates will serve your line staunchly through countless seasons of battle.
