Historical Design and Functionality

The structure of this medieval arm armour is both functional and historically accurate, comprising four parts that are connected by rings. Two rectangular plates and two round plates make up each set.

One of the round plates sits at the elbow and the other at the shoulders, mirroring the design used by warriors of old. This ensures that the wearer enjoys the same level of protection and mobility as their historical counterparts.

Furthermore, each shoulder and elbow plate features curved, decorative fluting, adding an element of elegance to the robust design. The practicality of the jack chains extends beyond their construction.

The elbow, shoulder, and bottom plates come equipped with holes for tying the jacks to a gambeson, just as was done historically. This feature ensures that the wearer can not only display these pieces with pride but also engage in LARPing or cosplaying with authenticity and ease.
