Brigandine Kusnacht Armor

The brigandine kusnacht is one of the most iconic forms of brigandine armor from the 14th century. Named after a historic find near Kusnacht, Switzerland, this style of armor became widely favored among knights and soldiers for its unique flexibility.

This kusnacht brigandine is crafted as a faithful reproduction. The interior has multiple 18-gauge steel plates riveted securely beneath a genuine suede leather exterior, for reliable protection. The distinctive rows of rivets across the surface show the classic medieval aesthetic of kusnacht armor.

Designed for both functionality and look, this brigandine armor  is suitable for events, LARP combat or stage performances. The adjustable leather straps on the sides give a snug and adaptable fit, for different body types with ease.

Materials:

• Outer Shell: Genuine Suede Leather
• Internal Plates: 18 Gauge Mild Steel

CARE INSTRUCTIONS: 

• Store in a dry and ventilated area to prevent moisture damage
• Clean suede with a soft brush to maintain texture

This is a handcrafted brigandine kusnacht, so variations in rivet placement, leather texture, and finish are natural and add to its authenticity.
