Leather Gauntlets – Mitten Gloves

Historical Inspiration

These Leather Gauntlets draw on the mitten gauntlets worn by medieval knights and soldiers, where the fingers were covered by overlapping plates instead of separate fingers. That design gave strong protection to the knuckles and the back of the hand.

The Leather Gauntlets: Material and Features

Each pair is handcrafted from genuine leather. Thick leather panels are layered and joined with antique brass rivets, creating an articulated, multi-layered design that bends with your hand. The result balances protection and flexibility: the knuckles and wrists are shielded, but you can still move freely.

• Genuine leather
• Multi-layered, articulated mitten design
• Antique brass rivets for a robust build
• Protects the hands, knuckles, wrists and forearms
• Flexible enough for a natural grip

Versatile Uses

Whether you’re a knight on the LARP field, a mercenary on stage or a warrior at a fantasy convention, these Medieval Leather Gauntlets complete the look with a heavily armored feel.
Suitable for:

• LARP
• Cosplay and fantasy conventions
• Theatre, stage and film
• Renaissance fairs
• Light sparring, light historical martial arts and stage combat training

Please note that these gauntlets are made from leather, not steel plate, so they’re meant for light or simulated combat only. They don’t meet the safety requirements for full-contact steel combat such as HMB or Buhurt.

Care Instructions

• Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth after use.
• Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat and sunlight.
• Condition the leather regularly to keep it supple.
• Do not machine wash or soak in water.
• Store in a clean, dry place.

Each pair is handcrafted from genuine leather, so variations in color, grain and finish are natural, giving every pair its own character.
