Tie Strings With Points

Tie Strings With Points

Epic Armoury's Tie Strings with Points make the process of lacing an armor simple, and you untie each individual tie with a quick pull. Within a minute your cloth armor hits the floor, and you can properly collapse onto your pillow. Phew!

Epic Armoury’s Tie Strings with Points is a set of six cloth aiguillette cords designed to easily thread through eyelets on your cloth costume. Each end is securely fastened to a brass tip that makes lacing a breeze, keeps the cloth from unraveling, prolongs the string’s lifetime use, and gives your costume a polished look. There are five available tie string colors, so feel free to match or contrast your strings with your costume! For example, use Off-White version to replace the strings on your Imperial Gambeson, or change up the look on your Tristan Vest by adding a different color to the seams. It’s a great way to make your costume a little more unique.

• Available in Dryad Green, Epic Black, Ivory White, Midnight Blue and Emperor Red
