50m Medieval Flat Leather Lacing – Vegetable-Tanned Cord for Craft & Kit

Description

Throughout the late Middle Ages, leather cords served as the silent workhorses of everyday utility and martial readiness. Whether tying up armor, binding manuscripts, or creating wearable goods, they were an essential part of life. This 50-meter spool of authentic full-grain leather lacing revives that spirit of function and form. Carefully cut from vegetable-tanned hide and left untreated, it retains the earthy, natural texture of raw leather while offering strength and pliability that improve with time.

The flat profile—measuring 4 mm wide and 3 mm thick—makes this cord perfect for threading through eyelets, stitching into garments, or tying around armor and pouches. It handles well when dry and becomes even more shapeable when dampened, making it ideal for precision leatherwork, restoration tasks, or medieval kit maintenance.

Whether you’re lacing a gambeson, crafting a historical belt, finishing a scabbard, or binding an ancient-style journal, this leather cord brings both authenticity and enduring utility. Available in natural, black, brown, or red to match the tone and character of your project. Over time, the leather will take on a rich patina, becoming more beautiful with every use.
