Product description
Laces such as these were employed throughout the Middle Ages, in particular the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, for a wide variety of purposes. With these laces it was possible to attach plate armour parts or chainmail to the gambeson or acketon. Such strong laces ensured that the plate armour remained firmly in place during battle.
Such laces were also employed for clothing and shoes. They could be utilised, for example, to attach chausses to braies. Laces were also well-suited to women's clothing, for instance when fastening pieces of garment together.
The ends of the laces, the aiglets, are crafted from brass. These are exact replicas of medieval originals. The laces are delivered in a set of 6 pieces.
