LARP Leather Shoulder Armour

The street is a hard place to conduct business, but it’s a way of life you’ve become very good at keeping. Two coppers jingle in the pouch hanging from your belt, but by the end of the day you’re determined to increase the lot to a gold or two. A good card game and a poor ol’ sap is all it takes.

On your way to your regular spot you pass a lovely lady in a fine dress. You may be a ruffian--an obvious observation by your roguish Shoulder Armour--but with your candid smile you give the lady a tip of your fanciful top hat. She looks flattered, which is a good distraction...because now you’ve got a silver to add to the copper in your pouch.

DETAILS
Epic Armoury’s Shoulder Armour is a handsomely crafted piece of armour with shoulder and upper arm protection. Made from vegetable-tanned full-grain leather, this armour features a pauldron and a sword-breaker designed to deflect blows away from the head. Using overlapping and form-fitting plates to add extra strength to the leather, you can expect to use this shoulder guard for a long time with regular leather care. The upper arm guard is embellished with flattened leather cords and toned rivets.

Secure the Shoulder Armour using the sturdy leather straps around the upper arm and the chest. You can wear it on either shoulder or as a pair together. The style is neutral, allowing you to easily match it with other Epic Armoury leather and metal armours when customizing your character’s equipment.

Available in Black and Brown; and in sizes Medium and Large.

HISTORY

Natural leather products are very durable, but require regular maintenance with leather care products to stay flexible and to increase life-time. Make sure your leather products are kept dry when stored. Let wet leather dry naturally before treating. If frequently wet and dry, increase frequency of maintenance.

CLEANING
Clean by removing dirt with a hard brush, then gently rub on leather soap with a clean, damp cloth until the leather appears clean. Remove soap with a separate damp cloth to wipe away any soap residue and then use a dry cloth to wipe away any remaining water from the leather.

CONDITIONING
You should always condition leather after cleaning, since the soap will have removed some of its natural oils. Treat the leather with mink oil, olive oil, or beeswax polish with a clean cloth, gently rubbing a small amount of oil or polish in circles into the leather. Allow the leather to soak in the oil before wiping the leather with a final clean cloth to remove any excess residue.
