Tying Threads with Stitches

Tying ropes with stitches

It's been a grueling day of training, and you've been trapped inside your gambeson, completely drenched in sweat, for the better part of eight hours. The last thing you need when you finally settle into your bunk is to mess with unruly ties!

Fortunately, your off-white-tipped tie cords simplify the tying process, and you can untie each tie individually with a quick tug. In a minute, your fabric armor falls to the floor, and you can properly collapse onto your pillow. Phew!

Epic Armoury's Off-White Tipped Tie Cords are a set of six fabric aiguillette cords designed to easily thread through the eyelets of your fabric costume. Each end is securely attached to a brass tip that makes lacing easier, prevents the fabric from unraveling, prolongs the thread's life, and gives your costume a sleek look. Five tie cord colors are available, so feel free to match or contrast your laces to your costume! For example, use this Off-White version to replace the strings on your Imperial Gambeson, or change the look of your Tristan vest by adding a different color to the stitching. It's a great way to make your costume a little more unique.

Available in Off-White, Epic Black, Deep Red, Dryad Green, and Deep Blue.
