Gothic leg protection
DescriptionYour squire fastens the straps of your custom Gothic armor, adjusting it so it fits snugly over your gambeson. You paid a lot of money for this armor, and you hope people will be impressed when they see how it shines on the battlefield.
Your blacksmith assured you that the Gothic armor design was state-of-the-art, capable of withstanding and deflecting attacks, even arrows from enemy bows. You are a powerful warrior, indeed, to possess such refined craftsmanship. A fitting symbol of your God-given status.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury's Gothic leg armor consists of breastplates to protect the lower thighs, articulated poleons covering the knees, and half-greaves protecting the upper shins and the sides of the calves. The poleon knee guards are articulated, composed of four overlapping plates and equipped with a raised, heart-shaped plate covering the notoriously unprotected hamstring. This piece of armor is supported by straps attached to the wearer's belt and held in place by guide straps around the thighs and calves.
The Gothic arm guard is made of mild steel with rolled edges that form ridges around the edges. The design is historically inspired by the Renaissance, but the style and functionality are fully interchangeable with other Epic Armory armor, allowing the freedom to combine armor and customize a character's appearance to suit your needs.
Available in medium/large size.
HISTORY
- Gothic style developed historically between the years 1420 and 1440 thanks to technological advances

Maintenance
Epic Armory metalwork products should be treated with acid-free wax or quality vegetable oil and kept in a dry place. Metal armor containing leather parts would require separate leather maintenance. Read the "Leather Straps 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.
