LARP leather armor handcrafted in Berlin by Andracor from heavy grade leather and supple suede.
Brigandines were used as body armor in as early as the 13th century, and had their peak in the late 15th century. They provided a lot of protection when worn over a mail shirt and a gambeson, were relatively easy to make and repair, and were much cheaper than plate armor.
At the open front, six leather straps with metal buckles keep this long, brown and black leather brigandine in its place during the fiercest battles. Heavy grade leather plates arranged in a grid with approx. 2 cm of space between them are riveted to the long tunic made of thick black nubuc leather. The tunic is also open at the sides, but it has leather lacing from the armpits to the hips so you can adjust it to fit properly. The tassets are slit at the hips on the front, back and sides. This assures freedom of movement in the thick of battle.
Andracor has been designing and making leather products by hand in Berlin since 1999. Strict selection criteria for choice materials and artisans experienced in working with leather guarantee our high quality level. The products we create are equal to the everyday demands of the world of LARP – and we enjoy wearing them ourselves!
