Raider Gorget
DescriptionYou growl an order to the scouts, and they slink off into the undergrowth, spears drawn. Your hunting party searches the forest, not for food, but for the rush and excitement of finding new elven prey.
Soon the scouts return with news of an elven encampment ahead, and your fellow orcs share eager, toothy grins. Dressed in your raider armor, you set off into the night toward unsuspecting prey.
DETAILS
The Epic Armoury Raider Armor is a hard-wearing, well-worn piece of armor that protects the front and back of the torso and abdomen. Consisting of a solid steel breastplate and an attached leather backplate, this armor is sculpted to fit the body after snugly securing leather straps at the shoulders and around the ribcage. This riveted piece of steel has been treated with Epic Armoury's Epic Dark Metal and a mottled brown coating to give the armor a well-worn, rusted finish.
The Raider Armor is adorned with leather straps and antique-finished metal rings on the front, which can be used to hang trophies. The back plate features a riveted metal plate that allows flexibility of movement and eerily resembles the flesh of a beast. Crafted from 1mm thick galvanized mild steel and premium leather straps and fittings, this piece of armor is designed to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with the usual care of leather and metal armor.

Maintenance
Epic Armory Dark products are specially treated to resist rust, but should still be treated with oil and kept in a dry place. All of our metal armor contains leather parts that require regular maintenance using leather care products to prevent the leather from drying out.
Cleaning
If your armor gets wet, it is important to dry it completely as soon as possible.
After handling, use, or after six months of storage or display, all metal should be wiped clean with a clean cloth. Lightly oil the cleaned surface with a quality machine or mineral 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 paste wax, oil, or water-displacing fluid.
Leather belts and accessories
Clean 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.
