Product description
Thigh armor like this was very popular in the German regions during the late 15th century and was worn throughout Europe. The style is based on the late Gothic period, with similar ribbed reliefs found in Late Gothic churches. This leg armor is made of 1.6 mm thick steel and features adjustable leather straps at the back, along with finely crafted buckles in the high Gothic style. The front of the legs is decorated with forged fleurs-de-lys and streamlined ribs running across the thighs and ending just below the knee caps (poleyns).

Maintenance & care
Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your armour regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper.
Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
