Handmade Leather Greaves

These are a pair of handmade leather lower leg armor. Similar to our other greaves, but with longer sides that are designed to give full coverage of the back of the legs.

They are made from 8-10 oz Latigo leather and feature 2 straps to secure them to your legs. They have the option of being impregnated with wax to add rigidity to function as armor in reenactment fighting, HEMA, LARP, or whatever your hobby happens to be. As with any armor, if you do plan on using these for protection, you should wear a gambeson, or add some padding of your own ( I recommend cotton batting/pillow filler).

As a standard, each pair will come with Steel colored buckles. If you would like brass. let me know and I can swap them out for you at no extra charge.

Be advised that if you choose to wax a lighter color it will cause the leather to darken, so the brown and the Burgundy will end up being a very dark version of those colors.

Please include these measurements of your leg when ordering:

Instep to bottom of knee:
Circumference of leg at ankle:
Circumference of leg 2 inches below knee:

If you’d like the greaves to be shorter in order to pair them with separate knee armor, let me know when you give me your measurements.

As always, these can be customized to your preferences. Feel free to message me with any questions.
