Cotton Laces with Brass Aiglets, 45 cm, Set of 5
The Historical Key to Clothing and Armour
In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, when buttons were far from common, laces or "points" were the primary method of fastening. They were used to attach practically everything – from lacing up doublets, bodices, and hose (trousers) to securing individual pieces of plate armour to a gambeson or arming doublet. Without strong, reliable laces, a knight simply couldn't get dressed or armed.
Versatility and Practical Use
The 45 cm length is ideal for a wide range of applications. You can use them for:
- Lacing Garments: Perfect for doublets, jerkins, bodices, shirts, or medieval footwear.
- Attaching Armour: Essential for affixing pauldrons, vambraces, and cuisses to your gambeson.
- Accessories: Also great for closing pouches, bags, or purses.
The durable woven cotton ensures a long life even with frequent use, and the gleaming brass aiglets will give your kit a touch of elegance and period accuracy.
