Concerning applications

For all of our orders, since we do craft for several different applications, we ask that if there are any requirements regarding the specifications of your product, that you advise us at the time of ordering. Leather armour must be of a considerable thickness for some types of combat, and can be treated in a number of ways to accentuate this battle-worthiness. We can accomodate any of your need in this area including lighter weight armor for theater armor and movie costume purposes, slightly heavier weight leather (8-12 oz), water or wax hardened for LARP and/or boffer weapons combat, or full armour grade leather (13/16 oz, Sole bend leathers) for SCA (also available "curbouille" hardened by boiling water or beeswax). Certain types of treatments which are not included in the description of the item may be available at an addtional cost. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Tell us your application, and we'll make sure you're in compliance!

 

 

 

 

Let's face it. The legs provide the stability, the base and the foundation of all combat. If you can't stand, you can't fight (or run). Unless otherwise specified, this gear is made from armor grade 13/15 oz leather. See individual items for details and also our applications statement on the left side of the page. Steel knees are crafted from 16 gauge mild steel.

No wimpy straps! All of our leather leggings include heavy duty 3/4" straps and buckles!

By placing and order with The Schmitthenner Armory you agree to our terms and policies.

Greek "Hoplite" Greaves  

 
hoplite greaveshoplite greaves

Fans of Greek and Roman style armour will appreciate our reproduction of the very popular and highly functional greaves which were thought to have been originally formed by gluing several layers of linen together. Inasmuch as Greeks did have cows around, for food, sacrifice, etc., it is much more likely that they formed their "hoplite" greaves from...yes, leather. The thick hide leather, as we do here, was hardened with a "courbouille" or "boiled" process and formed into highly protective leg covering. Bronze was also used for this purpose, but was harder to fashion, more expensive, and much more tiring to move in for any length of time. Available in black, brown, tan (shown), dark green and dark red. Please provide kneecap to ankle measurement.

Item #SCH3040   Price $165.00

 

leather armorleather armor

These leather greaves, much like the classical vambraces, took on a personality of their own in their crafting. They match up with the vambraces in our "Quidditch" package, but have any number of applications. The heavy 13/15 oz leather used in their construction is hardened in two ways, by our own "courbouille" method, and through compression which leaves the linear fluted lines running vertically. The knees are fastened separately over the lower greaves, and are also hardened using the same hardening and compression technique, and have their own characteristic "hourglass" shape. Available in black, dark brown (shown), dark red, and dark green. Please include knee to ankle measurement.
