Meticulously crafted from 18 gauge mild steel, these gauntlets offer a perfect blend of iconic style and exceptional hand protection. Whether you’re a passionate historical reenactor, a dedicated LARPer, or a cosplayer seeking a detailed armored look, these gauntlets are designed to exceed your expectations.

Detailed, Historical Design

These gauntlets draw inspiration from the armor worn by cuirassiers—cavalry units armed with steel weapons and pistols. Due to their unique place in history, their design balances articulation and dexterity with robust protection. These hand forged steel gauntlets incorporate an integrated black glove, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit. This makes the hand armor both convenient and practical to wear. The design cleverly stitches the suede leather gloves to red leather panels at the fingers. Then, the steel finger scales attach to the leather panels. This provides an enhanced durability to the structure as well as better movement.

Next, the enhanced joint protection reveals an impressive level of detail. Each knuckle is safeguarded by a larger, curved piece. Then, the back of the hand is covered with four ridged pieces. These ridges add style and help deflect blows.

Additionally, a dramatic wrist cuff finishes off the gauntlets. This wrist cuff not only offers extra protection but also adds a striking aesthetic with its flared, pointed design. The streamlined palm side structure allows for more comfort when wearing.

Lastly, the thumb benefits from improved articulation and flexibility, thanks to a leather strap connecting it to one of the hand plates. This underscores the thoughtful construction of these gauntlets.
