Leather is the armor of choice for assassins and rogues for a reason. Not only can it help to ward off sword-blows, but it is also light and flexible. Those qualities are well preserved in this Behan Leather Breastplate, as is a subtle roguish style. Crafted entirely from rigid 9-10 oz. buffalo leather, this armor is strong enough to provide all the protection that a rogue might encounter, while also light enough to let any warrior retain all the mobility and agility that they desire. The armor is a lamellar style breastplate, consisting of shoulder straps attached to lames, or wide leather bands, which are layered horizontally down the core to create a strong and solid defense. The edges of these leather bands are stylized with edged shapes and secured with riveted patterns, which not only enhances its strength and durability, but also infuses an element of style and fantasy into the armor, as well. The end result is that this breastplate will provide solid protection, as well as an impressive overall look. Open grommets and laces on the shoulders also allow for the armor to be customized, by adding pauldrons or other sorts of protections or accents. It is available in four sizes, and each size features a quartet of leather straps with buckle closures for wearing. One strap each goes over each shoulder and crisscrosses over the back, while the last two secure around the back. Because it fits more around the waist than the chest, the armor is sized according to the waist, as opposed to the chest. Light in weight and lethal in look, this Behan Leather Breastplate is the perfect armour for an assassin, a rogue, or a dark wanderer to wear, whether they are making an appearance at the next Renaissance fair or taking to the field to assassinate a rival in a LARP battle.
