Borge Leather Breastplate

Not all warriors prefer their armor fancy, ornate, and heavily adorned. Some prefer something more subdued. And for those who want their armor speak for their austerity, nothing beats the look of this Borge Leather Breastplate. And austere is definitely a very good word to describe this armour. The general design incorporates several layered pieces of leather, which seem to be held together by leather lacing and grommets, all arranged at the edge of the plate and set in a decorative crisscross design. Four lines of this cross-hatch stitching adorn the breastplate, lending it a hand-crafted look that matches perfectly to its general strength and appeal. In spite of its look, the breastplate is also fairly hardy in design, thanks to it being made entirely from rigid 9-10 oz. buffalo leather. The breastplates shoulder straps are reinforced with extra leather plating, while also featuring grommets along its length, which allows for the armor to be slightly customized, either by adding different styles of tied pauldrons or by securing personal accents to the armor along the shoulders. It is available in four sizes, with each size featuring 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. The Borge Leather Breastplate is a perfect piece of armor for a ranger or a wild-man to wear, as well as a fine choice for any foot-soldier or cut-purse to wear when going into battle as well. Plus, its unembellished design carries its own sort of unique style, one that will leave others impressed by its clean and effective form.
