Set of 10 Hand-Forged Brass Aiglets – Historical Cord Tips for Lacing & Garments

Description

Add a finishing touch steeped in historical tradition with this set of 10 solid brass aiglets, precision-formed for medieval garment lacing and arming point construction. Aiglets were essential in the 14th through 16th centuries for securing and guiding laces through eyelets, making dressing both quicker and more reliable for soldiers, nobles, and craftspeople alike.

Each aiglet is hand-shaped and polished, creating a smooth, tapered form that slips easily into eyelets or grommets. Whether you’re building an arming doublet, reinforcing hose, or replicating medieval costume wear, these brass points offer practical support and a refined period detail. The hollow shaft comfortably fits a variety of cord sizes, while a pre-drilled hole near the base allows for secure attachment by stitch, rivet, or glue.

Their warm, golden tone develops a gentle patina over time, further enhancing the authenticity of your kit without sacrificing strength or function. Unlike modern plastic tips, these period-accurate aiglets reflect a commitment to historical detail and craftsmanship.
