Viking Leather Belt Jarl – Wide Warrior Kidney Belt
For Clan Chieftains and Conquerors
This belt is not just an accessory; it is a statement of power. It is ideal for characters such as Viking Jarls, barbarian berserkers, dwarven warriors, or elite mercenaries. Its construction consists of segmented leather panels joined by sturdy leather lacing. This design allows the belt to adapt better to your body shape and movement than a single piece of stiff leather could. The closure features two straps with antique-finish brass buckles, enhancing its historical appeal.
At LARP events, you will appreciate that the belt functions like a light corset, bracing the torso and helping to distribute the weight of other equipment. It pairs perfectly with linen tunics and chainmail. Thanks to its universal, rugged appearance, it fits seamlessly into fantasy worlds as well (e.g., for Orcs or Rangers).

Legacy of the Northern Sagas
Although the design of this belt is strongly inspired by modern fantasy aesthetics ("heroic fantasy"), it is rooted in the real historical need to protect the abdomen and kidneys in combat. For the historical Viking, a belt was a sign of a free man and an essential part of clothing for suspending a sword, axe, or knife (seax). Wide, decorated belts were indicators of status and wealth in many cultures. In the sagas, the equipment of heroes is often described in detail—their swords and belts were symbols of their power, honour, and deeds.
Leather Care Instructions
To ensure this piece of armour serves you on many expeditions, give it proper care:
- Cleaning: Remove dirt with a damp cloth. Never soak the leather completely.
- Drying: If the belt gets wet, let it dry naturally at room temperature. Never dry it near a heater or open fire, as the leather could harden and crack.
- Maintenance: To maintain the flexibility and durability of the leather, treat it occasionally with a high-quality leather balm or beeswax.
