The rapier hanger was modelled on historical documents from the northern part of Italy. The baldric was also used to carry heavy burdens, such as the drum. However most often weapons (sword, rapier, smallsword) would be hung on it. A wide strap that is used to carry the weapon is widened in the bottom part of the hanger and divided into 4 parts. The bottom part of the hanger is shortened according to the width of the rapier or sword sheath. The hanger is mainly made of up to 3.5mm thick smooth cowhide. The carrying strap of the hanger can be shortened or extended according to the wearer's height.
