Leather Upper Leg Armor

These are a set of waist/ upper leg armor commonly known as battle skirts, historically known as faulds,

Each set it made out of 6 lames made out of 3.75″ wide 8-10 ounce latigo cowhide.

The faulds consist of two longer sets of lames that cover your sides, and 2 shorter sets of 4 lames for the front and back center, giving you full 360 degree coverage. The faulds are worn by lacing them through a series of integrated belt loops on each piece.

The lames overlap in such a way that there is 2 layers of leather throughout the majority of the armor.

As with our other armor pieces, you have the option of having these hardened with wax, which makes them much more suitable as protection for HEMA, SCA, Larp etc.

You also have the option of having a simple belt included with your faulds, as a belt of some kind is necessary to wear them.

Be advised that waxing the leather will darken the color considerably. Dark brown will look black, light brown will look dark brown, etc.

14″ is the standard height for the sizes, if you’d like a pair made longer or shorter, feel free to message me to see what options are available.

As always, customization is available. Feel free to message me for details.

*When ordering, be sure to include your waist measurement so we can ensure they are built to the correct size.
