This shoulder sword hanger is designed for maximum comfort and functionality. It is worn across the chest, allowing for even weight distribution of your sword and leaving your hands free for combat or other activities. The frog, which holds the scabbard, is equipped with two buckles, allowing you to easily adjust its size to fit your weapon's dimensions perfectly. Whether you're portraying a fearless knight, a cunning rogue, or any other character, this leather baldric will add a touch of authenticity and credibility to your look.
High-Quality Materials and Precise Craftsmanship
The foundation of this baldric is genuine cowhide leather, approximately 3 mm thick. The leather is drum-dyed, ensuring a long-lasting colour and a beautiful matte finish that will develop a unique patina over time. All buckles are made of solid cast brass. The undeniable centrepiece is the large, slightly rounded buckle on the chest, complemented by two smaller square buckles on the frog. This combination guarantees not only durability but also a comfortable and flexible fit.
A Look into History: The Baldric
Baldrics, or shoulder belts for weapons, were popular for centuries, especially from antiquity through the 18th century. They allowed soldiers, musketeers, and adventurers to carry a sword or sabre more comfortably than on a waist belt. The weapon's weight was distributed across the shoulder and torso, which was particularly practical during long marches or on horseback. A baldric also didn't interfere with the wearing of plate armour.
An Interesting Fact
In the 17th century, the baldric became not just a practical accessory but also a fashion statement and a status symbol. The width, material, and decoration of a baldric often reflected the wealth and rank of its owner. Officers and noblemen commissioned lavish pieces adorned with embroidery, precious metals, and intricate buckles, as seen in tales like The Three Musketeers.

How to Care for Your New Baldric
To keep your new leather baldric looking its best and functioning for as long as possible, give it the proper care. Genuine leather is a natural material that is sensitive to moisture.
- Protect it from Water: Never soak the baldric and protect it from rain. If it gets wet, let it air dry at room temperature, never near a direct heat source (like a radiator or fire).
- Regular Cleaning: To remove dust and everyday dirt, wipe it regularly with a soft linen or cotton cloth.
- Stain Removal: For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a small amount of mild soapy water. Clean gently and then wipe dry.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, solvents, or shoe polish, which could damage the leather.
