Medieval Brass Aiglets - Set of 10 Heavy Duty Cord Ends (3.6cm)

Medieval Brass Aiglets - Set of 10 Heavy Duty Cord Ends (3.6cm)

These medieval brass tips are accessories for those seeking authenticity and practicality in their historical attire. Widely used from the 14th century onward, tips (or "tips") served to prevent cords from fraying and to facilitate and speed up the tying of garments, a vital detail in the assembly of doublets, gambesons, and muffs.

Each aiglet in this set of 10 is handcrafted from solid brass, giving it durability and an elegant shine that complements medieval or Renaissance attire. The tapered, conical profile ensures smooth threading through the eyelets, while the hollow shaft accommodates various sizes of cords or shoelaces.

A small pre-drilled hole near the wide end allows you to attach the eyelet to your cord with a small rivet, a stitch, or even a drop of strong adhesive, just as historical tailors would have done. The warm brass finish takes on a beautiful patina over time, enhancing the authenticity of your kit.

These aiglets provide both functional strength and subtle detail that signals their commitment to quality craftsmanship and period accuracy.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• Buff gently with a soft cloth to maintain the natural finish of the brass.
• Store in a dry place to prevent rust.
• Allow a natural patina to form for an antique look or clean it to your liking.

USE:

• Historical clothing: gambesons, doublets, sleeves, tunics
• Craftsmanship: Creating authentic medieval lacing systems
• Costume making: Museums, film production, festivals, educational exhibitions
• Repair: Replacing worn or frayed cord tips with durable, historically accurate brass tips.

HOW TO USE IT:

1. Trim the end of your cord so that it is neat and even.

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

3. Align the small hole near the opening.

4. Secure it with a seam, a rivet, or a drop of glue.

5. Let dry if using adhesive, then fit as usual.
