Product description
Laces such as these were employed throughout the Middle Ages, in particular the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, for all manner 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 used for clothing and shoes. They could be employed, for example, to attach chausses to braies. Laces were likewise useful for women's clothing, for instance when fastening pieces of garments 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.
