Medieval Brass Aiglets – Set of 10 Sturdy Lacing Tips (2.6 cm)

These Medieval Brass Aiglets are indispensable accessories for anyone seeking authenticity and practicality in their historical garments. Dating back to the Middle Ages, aiglets (also called “points” or “tips”) were commonly used to prevent cords from fraying and to make lacing easier—especially in arming doublets and padded jackets worn beneath plate armor.
Each of these 10 aiglets is meticulously handcrafted from solid brass, shaped into a clean conical profile with a precise 3 mm opening. The polished surface adds a subtle gleam that complements period attire without appearing overly modern.
Whether you’re preparing a gambeson, repairing hose ties or creating new lacing for clothing, these aiglets will keep your cords secure, tidy and true to the historical tradition. Simply slide your cord into the hollow shaft, align the small punched hole and fix in place with a tiny rivet or strong stitching—just as tailors did centuries ago.
These aiglets are not only functional but also a detail that elevates any medieval ensemble, demonstrating your commitment to quality craftsmanship and historical accuracy.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
• Polish with a soft cloth to maintain the natural brass finish.
• Store in a dry environment to prevent oxidation.
• If a patina develops over time, you can leave it for an antique look or clean gently.

USAGE:
Historical Clothing: Gambesons, arming doublets, hose, and tunics
Crafting: Reproducing authentic medieval lacing systems
Costumes: Museums, festivals, and educational displays
Repair: Replacing worn lacing tips with sturdy, period-accurate brass ends

How to Use:
1. Trim your lace or cord so the end is neat.
2. Slide the cord into the open end of the aiglet.
3. Secure it by stitching through the small hole or adding a drop of glue.
4. Let dry (if glued), then lace as usual.
