Jack Chains

Epic Armoury’s Jack Chains are lightweight arm plates made to sit on top of a gambeson or arming jacket. You get solid base protection against slashes and impacts, while keeping your arms free to move. The look also adds a clear late medieval feel to an outfit without adding heavy bulk.

Tie the plates onto your gambeson using arming point laces, so the fit stays stable during runs, fights, and long event days. The plates use 1 mm mild steel, with top-grain leather straps and fittings. With normal leather and metal armor care, this set holds up well for LARP and reenactment use.

• Comes as a set of 2 arm plates

HISTORY

• The “jack” in jack chains refers to the padded arming jacket worn under plate elements. In 15th and 16th century Europe, armor pieces often attached to a gambeson using arming points, which is the same system used in this design.
