Veteran Armour

This bestselling Epic Armoury Veteran Armour is a typical western cuirass designed to protect the whole torso. The cuirass secures tight over the breast and abdomen using four sturdy leather straps, each riveted with decorative brass studs and brass buckles. It is highly adjustable both at the front, but also with strong leather cords at the flanks.

This cuirass is crafted to be especially hardy by stitching overlapping full grain leather with heavy leather cords. At the neck, an additional leather plate serves as a gorget. Along the rims of the armor, the edges are bound with flattened leather cords. The effect is a solid piece of armor with lines suggesting a slim waist and broad shoulders.

The Veteran Armour is compatible with all other Epic Armoury leathers and metal works, and is designed to fit various character types.
