Lorica segmentata Lucius, Corbridge A

To keep your mail components or plate armor properly in place, it is best to attach leather laces to your gambeson and fasten them to the armor/mail. The armor will then stay better in place during fighting.

Tip: how to adjust the finish of plate armor and weapons yourself

Luxury (polished) – polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even polish an item to a mirror finish with this. Test on a small area first!

Hand-made (matte) – place the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Regularly check the matte effect. Smooth the finish with black sandpaper.

Antique (patinated) – place the steel in a damp environment (preferably outside) and let it rust. Remove the red layer of rust, leaving the corroded surface layer.

Note. After self-finishing the product, warranty and return rights are void. Celtic WebMerchant is not liable for the effects of the aforementioned methods.

If you wear a gambeson: then add 10-15 cm to your circumference. If you wear a gambeson and chainmail shirt: then add 15-20 cm to your circumference. Tip: Are you too slim for this armor? You can easily pad the armor with padding.
