Medieval Brass Aiglets - Set of 10 Heavy Duty Cord Ends (2.6cm)

These medieval brass finials are indispensable accessories for anyone seeking authenticity and practicality in their historical garments. Since the Middle Ages, finials (also called "points") have been commonly used to prevent cords from fraying and to facilitate lacing, especially on doublets and quilted jackets worn under plate armor.

Each of these 10 aiglets is meticulously handcrafted from solid brass, with a clean, tapered profile and a precise 3mm opening. The polished surface adds a subtle shine that complements period attire without looking overly modern.

Whether you're preparing a gambeson, repairing hose loops, or creating a new cord for clothing, these cord stoppers will keep your cords secure, organized, and true to historical tradition. Simply slide the cord onto the hollow shaft, align the small perforated hole, and secure it in place with a small stud or strong stitching, just as tailors did centuries ago.

These aiglets are not only functional, but also a detail that elevates any medieval ensemble, demonstrating your commitment to quality craftsmanship and historical accuracy.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Polish with a soft cloth to maintain the natural finish of the brass.
• Store in a dry place to prevent rust.
• If a patina develops over time, you can leave it for an antique look or gently clean it.

USE:

Historical clothing: gambesons, doublets, sleeves and tunics.

Production: Reproduction of authentic medieval lacing systems

Costumes: Museums, festivals and educational exhibitions

Repair: Replacing worn cord tips with sturdy, period-true brass tips

Instructions for use:

1. Trim your cord or string so that the end is clean.

2. Slide the lanyard into the open end of the aiglet.

3. Secure it by sewing it through the small hole or adding a drop of glue.

4. Let dry (if glued) and then fit as usual.
