Medieval Crusader Long Belt with Templar Crosses and Brass Mounts

Medieval Crusader Long Belt with Templar Crosses and Brass Mounts

High Medieval Style and Functionality

This accessory is designed as a classic long belt, a style highly popular during the High Middle Ages (approx. 12th–14th centuries). Its generous length is intentional—it is meant to be knotted after buckling, allowing the excess strap to hang elegantly down your side, signifying status and style. The end of the strap is weighted and decorated with a solid brass chape (strap end) featuring a cross finial, ensuring the belt hangs vertically without twisting.

The D-shaped buckle features a distinctive trefoil rest for the tongue, a detail often seen in medieval manuscripts. It is attached to the belt via a brass plate stamped with geometric patterns. The entire fastening system is sturdy and reliable, ready for your next adventure.

Perfect for Reenactment and LARP

Thanks to its ornate design and high-quality craftsmanship, this belt is suitable for a wide range of characters:

• Knightly Orders: The cross motifs make it ideal for Knights Templar, Hospitallers, or Teutonic Knights (especially the black version).
• Nobility: Representative enough to be worn over a surcoat, chainmail hauberk, or a fine civilian tunic at a feast.
• Fantasy: An excellent addition to Paladin, Cleric, or Warrior Priest costumes.

Care Instructions

To ensure your belt serves you well for many years:

1. Leather: As a natural material, it should be protected from soaking. If it gets wet, let it air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Treat occasionally with beeswax or leather balm.
2. Brass: The mounts are solid brass and may develop a patina over time, which adds to the antique look. If you prefer a shiny finish, polish gently with a brass cleaner.
3. Storage: Store the belt hanging or loosely rolled to prevent creases in the leather.
