The Freydis SCA Body

Description

Introducing the Freydis Body Armour, a handcrafted leather armour inspired by the legendary Viking shield maiden, Freydis, the daughter of Erik the Red. The fierceness of her reputation, although much of it is steeped in legend, is echoed in the design and functionality of this armour.

Like all Black Raven Armours, the Freydis Body Armour serves as a true battle coat. It’s layered leathers and fitted, contoured shape ensure that it performs as any real armour should, hugging the body while absorbing blows. And rest assured, these armours are not just for show – they imbue a sense of combat readiness in every wearer.

The Freydis Body Armour, designed for the modern-day shield maiden, is one of our most practical designs. This full-length body armour fits chest sizes ranging from 36 to 40 inches & 40 to 44 inches, providing protection for the main body.

Every aspect of this armour has been meticulously handcrafted. It has been hand cut, embossed, stitched, riveted, dyed, and antiqued, with each step of the process done by skilled craftsmen. The finished piece is adorned with embossed panelling and detailed edge embossing, adding to its unique aesthetic appeal.

What truly sets the Freydis Body Armour apart is its durability. Extensive edge binding has been added to all potentially vulnerable areas, making this design one of our toughest armours ever.

The Freydis Body Armour is more than just a piece of protective gear – it’s a tribute to the legendary Freydis, a symbol of strength, and a nod to Viking mythology. Wear it, and let her legend live on.
