Merc Torso Armor
DescriptionSome might call you a cruel person. The truth is, you aren't cruel, but you aren't a hero either. The Battle of Delle isn't a battle for your homeland or your own people, but the pay is good and the fighting is even better.
Life as a mercenary has made you a hardened and effective warrior, and while some call it "luck" when your enemy’s sword slides off your Merc Armor, you call it strategy. After all, now your enemy’s heart is an open target.
DETAILS
Epic Armoury's Mercenary Torso Plate is a cuirass made of leather and steel that covers the wearer's front and back torso. The front of this breastplate surrounds the wearer's neck in an inverted U-shape, with the apex of the chest protecting the thorax before sloping around the ribcage to protect under the arms. The lower edge of the pectoral plate is slightly rounded, allowing it to fit around the crest of the hips while still covering the vulnerable pelvis. The steel plate is placed over a black leather suit, which is fastened to the back leather plate at the shoulders and sides.
The Mercenary Torso Plate is designed to match Epic Armoury's mercenary armor, but it is completely usable with other Epic Armory metal products, giving you the freedom to customize your character's costume. Made from 1mm thick mild steel and premium leather straps and fittings, this piece of armor is designed to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with the usual care of leather and metal armor.
Available in medium size.

Maintenance
Epic Armory Metal Works products should be treated with quality acid-free vegetable oil or wax and kept in a dry place. Metal armor that contains leather parts would need separate maintenance for the leather. Read the "Leather straps and accessories" section below for cleaning and maintenance of leather with leather care products.
Degreasing and preparing your armor for use
When you open your armor, you may be overwhelmed by the smell of grease and oil. The oil has been applied to protect your armor during storage and transport. Use a degreasing product or mineral spirits and a dry cloth or paper towels to remove all the oil from the plate armor pieces. It is a bit harder to remove all the oil from chainmail links, but it can be done in the same way. Wipe off as much as you can with a dry cloth, and with the remaining oil, you can remove the grease from the chainmail with mineral spirits or another solvent by spraying it onto the links. You can also choose to completely submerge your chainmail in a degreasing product and use your hands to agitate the metal in the solution; this will completely remove all oil and grease from your links. After removing the oil, be sure to dry the armor thoroughly. Strong, warm sunlight is great for drying your armor, but you can also use a hairdryer or a heat gun to speed up the process. Be careful not to overheat any leather parts when using a heat gun.
Cleaning
Humidity is the enemy of armor and chainmail. If your armor gets wet, it is important that you dry it thoroughly as soon as possible. After handling, wearing, or after six months of storage or display, all metal should be wiped down with a clean cloth. Lightly grease the clean surface with a quality acid-free vegetable oil. Alternatively, you can apply a layer of wax to the entire surface of the exposed metal. Let the wax dry for a couple of hours and then lightly buff it with a soft cloth.
Prevention and removal of rust
Store your armor in a dry place and check it every two months for signs of rust. If you find any, remove it by gently rubbing the affected spot with a lightly abrasive pad dampened with quality acid-free vegetable oil or wax. Epic Dark products are specially treated to resist rust, but they should still be treated with oil and stored in a dry place.
Leather straps and accessories
Clean them by removing dirt with a stiff brush, then gently rub with leather soap and a clean, damp cloth until the leather appears clean. Remove the soap with a separate damp cloth to clean off any soap residue and then use a dry cloth to wipe the remaining water off the leather.
You should always condition the leather after cleaning it, as the soap will have removed some of its natural oils. Treat the leather with mink oil, olive oil, or beeswax with a clean cloth, gently rubbing a small amount of oil or wax in circles into the leather. Let the leather soak in the oil before wiping it down with a final clean cloth to remove excess residue.
