Medieval Leather Cord - 50 Meter Spool | Vegetable Tanned Full Grain Flat Leather

Medieval Leather Cord - 50 Meter Spool | Vegetable Tanned Full Grain Flat Leather

In the 14th century, during the Middle Ages, leather cords were indispensable, from holding together garments to reinforcing armor and securing belts, bags, or scabbards. This 50-meter spool of full-grain leather cord pays homage to that versatile heritage, combining authentic medieval aesthetics with modern-day practicality. Expertly crafted from 100% vegetable-tanned hide, the leather remains uncoated and untreated for a natural look and feel. Its 4mm wide and 3mm thick flat profile strikes the perfect balance between durability and flexibility: easy to thread, knot, or sew, yet strong enough for a functional closure. Soft to the touch and slightly firm, this cord softens with handling and molds well when moistened, making it particularly suitable for:

Link gambesons or put together doublets

Securing armor plates and leather straps

Manufacture of bags, belts and accessories

Binding and binding of scrolls

Decorative knots and costume details

DIY leather projects and historical restorations

As it ages, the cord develops a beautiful patina that adds richness and depth to your project. Choose from natural, black, brown, or red, depending on your style or needs for authenticity.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Store in a dry place

Do not soak for long periods

Can be lightly oiled or conditioned if necessary

Dampen lightly to shape, then let air dry.

WHY CHOOSE THIS CORD?

Unlike synthetic cords or modern leather blends, this spool uses full-grain vegetable-tanned leather, prized for its strength, durability, and aging quality. The colors are rich and earthy, ideal for both authentic historical work and modern rustic designs.
