The Astrid SCA Body Belt and Tassets

I am delighted to announce the release of Astrid Leather Body Armour…. This superb ladies armour was developed along with the Jarl to meet the requirements of the SCA and others for a tough combat ready body armour

I designed this armour to be something that not only performs as any real armour should, but at the same time, a second skin you can rely on to dull those blows… Just like all my designs, never “just for show” I wanted the Astrid, to give its wearers, that sense of sisterhood, of shieldmaidens of an earlier time.

This armour has been hand cut, hand embossed, stitched, riveted, dyed, antiqued and has a large embossed and gilded center panel, complimented by a matching belt complete with scales and scale covered tassets, edge binding throughout adds extra strength and detail to this stunning armour.

The Set consists of  Astrid Body, Belt and Tassets and is formed to a practical shape suitable for combat comfort and will fit bust sizes ranging from 36 – 44 inches (91 – 112 cm’s)
