Shoulder Armor Style 4

This listing is for a pair of leather Shoulder (Spaulder) armor. They are made up of 9 overlapping lames connected by flexible interior straps that allow them a great deal of mobility.

They are made from 8 oz Latigo leather and feature a long buckled strap that runs across the chest, as well as two straps that secure it to your arm. The chest straps are attached via Chicago screws, which makes them easily removable to use alternate attachment options. There are two holes on the top edge of the armor which allow them to be laced onto a gambeson or maille shirt via point ties; or attached to the gorget that I offer via chicago screw or tie.

We also offer a leather mantle gorget that is a much more secure and comfortable way to mount the shoulders. Check out the other listing if you’re interested in that option.

They have the option of having them 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.

Be advised that if you choose to wax a lighter color it will cause the leather to darken, so any color but black will end up being a very dark version of itself.

These are made “one size fits most”. We are able to make them to fit any size, so for custom sizing feel free to message me.

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