MILANESE FUNCTIONAL OVERALL

You look at your senior officer as he makes his way through the line of your fellow soldiers. Your fate and the fate of your entire unit rests on this veteran's word, and you are relieved to no longer bear such a heavy burden.

“We must fight!” your officer shouts for all to hear. You adjust your Milanese armor, double-checking the buckles as you listen to him continue. “For our homes and for our families, we will fight until we can fight no more!” With a resounding cheer, your fellow soldiers prepare to charge. You draw your weapon, anxious and scared all at once.

The battle has begun.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury's Milanese Plate is a simple, low-fantasy piece of armour that protects the front of the torso and abdomen. The plate rests at the waist and is sculpted to fit the body and add structural strength to the steel. This riveted piece of steel has been polished to a high-gloss finish to appeal to knights in shining armour.

The Milanese Armour is adorned with a bevelled chest plate to deflect attacks. It is fully usable with Epic Armoury's Faulds and Tassets as well as other metalworking products, giving you the freedom to customise your character's costume. Made from 1mm thick mild steel and top grain leather straps and fittings, this piece of armour is designed to withstand the abuse of a LARP or re-enactment with regular care of leather and metal armour.

Available in medium and large sizes.

HISTORY
