The Astrid SCA Belt

Description

I am delighted to announce the release of Astrid Leather Belt Armour…. This superb ladies armour was developed along with the Jarl to meet the requirements of the SCA and others for a tough combat ready body armour

I designed this armour to be something that not only performs as any real armour should, but at the same time, a second skin you can rely on to dull those blows… Just like all my designs, never “just for show” I wanted the Astrid, to give its wearers, that sense of sisterhood, of shieldmaidens of an earlier time.

The Astrid Armour is hand built to the highest standards by Black Raven Armoury’s master armorsmiths from the very best quality leather.

This armour has been hand cut, hand embossed, stitched, riveted, dyed, antiqued and has a large embossed and gilded center panel, complimented by a matching belt complete with scales and scale covered tassets, edge binding throughout adds extra strength and detail to this stunning armour.

The Astrid  Belt is an unusual design made to compliment and reinforce the Astrid body it can be worn on its own, the unique rear fastening desin with gilded centre panel and scale panels on each side will fit bust waist sizes ranging from 31 – 39 inches (79 – 99 cm’s)

This armour is designed to be worn and used and is suitable for SCA and re-enactment and is detailed enough to be used on screen, it will stand up to close scrutiny and the sternest critique.
