❓ WILL THIS FIT ME?
|
What if I am between sizes? Always size up. Our armor is designed with adjustable straps and buckles, so a slightly larger size can be tightened. Sizing down risks restricted movement and discomfort. |
|
Do you offer custom sizing? Yes — all our armor is handcrafted and made to order. Simply send us your exact measurements via our contact form and we will craft a piece tailored precisely to you, at no extra charge for standard custom sizing. |
|
Can I mix sizes across pieces? Absolutely. You may need a Large breastplate but a Medium helmet. Each piece is sized independently, so feel free to mix and match based on your individual measurements. |
|
What about sizing for women's armor? We offer dedicated women's armor sizing. Please contact us with your bust, waist, hip, and height measurements for a custom fit recommendation. |

Professional and quick support at all the times. Product arrived quickly with no issues in good condition.
Happy with everything
Very fine!
I waited almost 30 days to get this product and there is a customs fee, however the products look AMAZING. I would buy from them again despite all the issues I had with shipping just for the quality alone. (I gave 4 stars for the shipping, 5 stars for the product itself).

COSTUME IS PERFECTLY CRAFTED
ONLY THING THAT WAS MISSING WITH MY ORDER WAS THE METAL SHOE PIECES & ALSO THE SPIKE ON HELMET IS A LIL CUT OFF, PROBABLY SHIPPING ISSUE BUT OVERALL AWESOME COSTUME RIGHT ON tiMe FOR HALLOWEEN
The helmet itself is too small. I am lucky to have a small head and I can just barely fit in it, but after a day of LARPing in this helmet I had abrasions on my nose and forehead. The tight fit prevents using an arming cap or adding any padding. The helmet looks nice so if you want it for a short term costume or display piece this would be a good fit. The item shipped from India and there was a complication due to tariffs which was not the shippers fault.
Nachbau eines funktionsfähigen Sextanten. Ganz prima als Ausstellungsstück und zur Vorführung. Die grundfunktionen sind vorhanden, allerdings lässt die Präzision der Anzeige und die Qualität von Spiegel und Filtern etwas zu wünschen übrig.
Für den Preis ganz okay.
Absolutely gorgeous one solid piece of wood hand carved and hatched even mounted a hand mount to the rear of the shield. My wife can’t get enough of. It looks absolutely fabulous in her collection.
