Milanese shoulder pads
DescriptionYou look at the line of soldiers, knowing that their fate, and the fate of your entire unit, depends on your word. It's a heavy burden, much heavier than the beautifully polished steel Milanese shoulder straps you wear.
“We must fight!” you shout for all to hear. “For our homes and our families, we will fight until we can fight no more!” With a resounding cheer, your soldiers prepare for the charge. You draw back your weapon, find your resolve, and set your sights on the enemy.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury's Polished Steel Milanese Shoulder Pads are a simple, low-key pair of shoulder pads. The pads rest on the shoulders and cover the upper arms and a large portion of the upper back. Both have an attractive curve to add structural strength to the steel while maintaining flexibility thanks to overlapping plates. Asymmetrical in design, the left shoulder pad is fitted with a vertical plate designed to protect the head from glancing blows. These riveted pieces of steel have been polished to a high-polish finish to appeal to knights in shining armor.
Milanese pauldrons are adorned with a beveled top plate to further deflect attacks, as well as a chain pin for attaching an insignia. Secure them by tying the canvas cords to a breastplate or gambeson and tightening the leather straps around your upper arms. They can be fully used with Epic Armoury's Milanese Armor set, as well as other Epic Armory metalwork products, giving you the freedom to customize your character's costume. Made from 1mm thick mild steel and premium leather straps and fittings, this piece of armor is designed to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armor care.

Maintenance
Epic Armory Metal Works products should be treated with a quality, acid-free wax or vegetable oil and kept in a dry place. Metal armor containing leather components requires separate leather care. Read the "Leather Belts and Accessories" section below for information on cleaning and maintaining leather with leather care products.
Degrease and prepare your armor for use
When you open your armor, you may be overwhelmed by the smell of grease and oil. The oil has been applied to protect your armor during storage and transport. Use a degreasing product or mineral spirits and a dry cloth or paper towels to remove all the oil from the plate armor pieces. It's a little more difficult to remove all the oil from chain mail links, but it can be done the same way. Wipe off as much as you can with a dry cloth, and with the remaining oil, you can degrease the chain mail with mineral spirits or another solvent by spraying it on the links. You can also choose to completely submerge your chain mail in a degreasing product and use your hands to agitate the metal in the solution; this will completely remove all the oil and grease from your links. After removing the oil, be sure to dry the armor thoroughly. Bright, warm sunlight is excellent for drying your armor, but you can also use a hair dryer or heat gun to speed up the process. Be careful not to overheat any piece of leather when using a heat gun.
Cleaning
Moisture is the enemy of armor and chain mail. If your armor gets wet, it's important to dry it thoroughly as soon as possible. After handling, use, or after six months of storage or display, all metal should be wiped with a clean cloth. Lightly oil the cleaned surface with a quality, acid-free vegetable oil. Alternatively, you can apply a coat of wax to the entire surface of the exposed metal. Let the wax dry for a couple of hours, then lightly buff it with a soft cloth.
Prevention and elimination of rust
Store your armor in a dry place and check it every two months for signs of rust. If you find any, remove it by gently rubbing the affected area with a mildly abrasive pad moistened with wax or quality acid-free vegetable oil. Epic Dark products are specially treated to resist rust, but should still be treated with oil and stored in a dry place.
Leather belts and accessories
Clean them by removing dirt with a stiff brush, then gently scrub with leather soap and a clean, damp cloth until the leather appears clean. Remove the soap with a separate damp cloth to clean any soap residue, and then use a dry cloth to wipe away any remaining water from the leather.
You should always condition leather after cleaning it, as the soap will have removed some of its natural oils. Treat the leather with mink oil, olive oil, or beeswax using a clean cloth, gently rubbing a small amount of oil or wax into the leather in circles. Allow the leather to soak in the oil before wiping it with a final clean cloth to remove excess residue.
