"A man immobilised by clumsy iron is merely an anvil awaiting the hammer; true battlefield defence must yield to the stride whilst warding off vicious blows." Osric, Keeper of the Hearth & Forge
Forged in the tradition of fourteenth and early fifteenth-century armouries, this splinted leg harness balances necessary resilience with pragmatic agility. Each leg assembly is individually handcrafted, pairing a robust foundation of 3?3.2 mm genuine leather with longitudinal reinforcing plates of 16-gauge mild steel. The harness delivers total lower-body defence across three vital sectors: protective cuisses for the thighs, fitted poleyns to ward the knees, and greaves shielding the shins. Weighing approximately 4 to 5 kg per pair, it offers a formidable barrier for reenactment, stage combat, and live martial engagements.
Fitting this armour properly requires arming points; lace the assembly directly onto a padded pourpoint or quilted gambeson. The adjustable strapping ensures a secure fit across a broad range of body sizes, anchoring firmly so the plates track your natural movement rather than fighting it in the fray.
To preserve your gear, maintain both steel and hide against campaign wear. The mild steel plates arrive pre-treated with protective oil to halt rust; wipe this off with a dry cloth before stepping onto the field. Condition the genuine leather periodically with beeswax or oil to retain its suppleness and prevent cracking. Store the assembly flat in a dry, ventilated garrison space away from ambient moisture.
