Lady Warrior Leather Cuirass | Fantasy Armor Vest
Combining Elegance and Functionality
This cuirass is constructed with a focus on detail and durability. The front fastens with four robust leather straps featuring antique brass buckles, making it easy to put on while adding a striking aesthetic. A key feature is the adjustable side lacing. This allows you to tighten or loosen the armor to achieve a tailored fit, accommodating various layers of clothing underneath (such as a gambeson or tunic). The edges are decoratively stitched with leather cord, increasing durability against fraying and giving the piece a rustic, handcrafted look.
Leather in History and Fantasy
While heavy infantry in the Middle Ages relied on steel plates, light infantry, scouts, and archers often preferred leather. It was lighter, quieter, and did not hinder movement. Historically, techniques like cuir bouilli (boiled leather) were used to harden the material against cuts. This cuirass channels the tradition of fantasy leather armor made famous by heroines in books and games—characters who rely on speed and dodging rather than the brute force of passive defense.

Leather Armor Care
This cuirass is made from a natural material that requires some care to last for years:
- Cleaning: Never machine wash! Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth.
- Conditioning: Regularly apply leather balm or beeswax. This keeps the leather supple, prevents cracking, and improves water resistance.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally on a hanger or laid flat. Do not leave the armor folded for long periods.
- Warning: Although the leather is thick, this is costume armor (LARP/Cosplay category). It is not intended as protective gear for full-contact combat with steel weapons.
