Armour Accessories

Our armour accessories collection focuses on the small but essential components that help complete and maintain medieval armour systems. These accessories played a vital role in historical armour construction, allowing warriors to assemble, repair, and reinforce their protective equipment during campaigns and battles.

Today, armour accessories remain valuable for historical reenactment, LARP events, stage combat, and armour restoration projects. Whether you are repairing an existing piece of armour or building a custom armour assembly, the right accessories ensure that your equipment remains functional, secure, and historically accurate.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Our armour accessories are crafted from durable materials such as steel, brass, and leather to ensure long-term reliability and historical authenticity. These materials were commonly used in medieval armour construction because of their strength and resistance to wear during extended use.

The collection primarily includes loose armour scales, which are widely used in scale armour construction and repair. Each scale is designed to give reliable protection with flexible movement when properly assembled into layered armour.

These components are suitable for armour building projects, restoration work, or replacing worn parts in existing armour sets. Their durable construction ensures they can withstand the demands of reenactment and display use.

Historical Use & Practical Applications

Throughout medieval history, armour was a popular form of protection used by soldiers across many regions and time periods. Individual metal scales were attached to leather or fabric backings to create flexible armour capable of absorbing weapon strikes while allowing the wearer to move freely.

Loose scales were often carried or stored by armourers and soldiers so damaged sections of armour could be repaired quickly in the field.
