Leather Tunics

The discreet armor of warriors

Leather tunics were one of the most widely used pieces of armor in the Middle Ages by soldiers, explorers, and mercenaries. They were lightweight, flexible, yet durable, offering basic protection against cuts and abrasions without limiting mobility. This simplicity made them the core of many leather armors, worn both on the battlefield and during training and patrols.

Importance in combat and in daily life

In battle, a hardened leather tunic could mean the difference between a superficial blow and a mortal wound. Furthermore, they were cheaper and quicker to make than metal mail, so many men-at-arms and local guards relied on them for defense. Their simple design also allowed them to be reinforced with leather plates, metal studs, or straps , adapting them to the warrior's needs.

• Light tunics : ideal for skirmishers, scouts and fighters who required speed.
• Reinforced tunics : with hardened or studded leather, designed to withstand intense combat.
• Training tunics : used for practicing without wearing heavier armor.
