Someone might say that you are a cruel person. The truth is that you aren’t cruel--but you certainly aren’t a hero, either. The Battle of Delle is not one for your homeland or for your own people, but the pay is good and the fighting even better. Life as a mercenary has made you into a hardened and effective warrior, and while some call it ‘luck’ when your enemy’s sword slides off your Faulds and Tassets, you call it strategy. After all, now your enemy’s heart is a wide open target. DETAILS Epic Armoury’s Faulds and Tassets are designed to protect the waist, hip and upper thigh from attacks that might leave you off balance, wounded, and vulnerable while on the battlefield. Don’t be an easy target for archers and rogues! This armour limits your weak spots without limiting your mobility thanks to the articulation of its bottom plate. Secured with two adjustable leather straps over the shoulders and another around the waist, these Faults and Tassets are designed to be comfortable for almost any size. Made of 1 mm thick mild steel and top-grain leather belt. Straps are made in canvas for easier adjustments and lighter weight. Plating are oxidation resistant coated armour pieces built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armour care. Available in One Size. HISTORY Plate armour became more popular as firearm technology became more prevalent during the 13th century Historically designed with sculpted ridges and overlapping plates to provide reinforced protection and to deflect attacks on a chaotic battlefield Made from 1mm/19 gauge thick mild steel Rolled edges with no sharp edges Straps and fittings made from top-grain leather Hand made, welded pieces for maximum durability Polished steel finish Epic Armoury metal works products should still be treated with oil and kept in dry storage. All our metal armours contain leather parts that need regular maintenance using leather-care products to keep the leather from drying out.CleaningIf your armour does get wet, it is important that you dry it thoroughly as soon as possible.After handling, wearing, or after six months of storage or display, all metal should be wiped with a clean cloth. Lightly oil the clean surface with a quality machine or mineral oil. Alternatively, you can apply a coating of wax to the entire surface of exposed metal. Allow the wax to dry for a couple of hours and then buff it lightly with a soft cloth.Rust-Prevention and RemovalStore your armour is a dry place and check it every couple of months for signs of rust. If any is found, remove it by gently rubbing the affected spot with a mildly abrasive pad dipped in paste wax, oil, or water-displacing liquid.Leather Straps and FittingsClean 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.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.
