Milanese Armour

Milanese Armour

Epic Armoury’s Milanese Armour is a simple low-fantasy piece of armor protecting the front of the torso and abdomen. The plate rests at the waist and is sculpted to fit the body and add structural strength to the steel. This steel riveted piece has been polished to a high-gloss finish to appeal to the knights in shining armor.

The Milanese Armour is embellished with a beveled plate on the chest to deflect attacks. It is fully usable with Epic Armoury’s Faulds and Tassets and well as other metal work products, giving you the freedom to customize your character’s costume. Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and top-grain leather straps and fittings, this armor piece is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armor care.

• Available in Epic Dark and Polished Steel colors
• Available in sizes M, L and XL
