Description
Step into the legacy of the Norse with the Viking/Russ Blackened Lamellar Scale Skirt, a handcrafted piece of armor that unites historical authenticity with practical design.
Constructed from hundreds of overlapping 20-gauge blackened steel plates, this lamellar skirt reflects the style of armor once relied upon by Viking and Rus warriors. Each plate is tightly secured to a backing of thick genuine leather, ensuring both resilience and flexibility. Striking brass plates accent the center, creating a bold contrast that enhances its warrior aesthetic while symbolizing prestige and strength.
With a width of 39.5 cm (15.5 in) and length of 29 cm (11.4 in), the skirt is easy to wear, simply thread your belt through the reinforced loops and fasten it in place. Its layered lamellar construction disperses impact effectively while allowing excellent mobility, making it ideal for combat training, LARP battles, stage productions, or reenactments.
The deep blackened finish adds a rugged, battle-worn character while providing additional resistance to wear. Under the glow of firelight, the polished brass details catch the eye, invoking the presence of warriors who once carried steel and honor into battle.
This skirt is not just protective gear but a living link to Viking heritage, designed for those who embrace history with every step.
