Scout Shoulder Plates

Epic Armoury’s Scout Shoulder plates are a set of mild steel small Shoulder Plates designed to cover your shoulders. Each Shoulder plate consists of a small plate, secured to the side of a gorget with a tie string. The shoulder plates are made from 1mm steel, forged to fit comfortably over your shoulder.

Made from polished mild steel with rolled edges, these arms guards are practical and affordable, while offering a degree of mobility. With its low-fantasy and neutral appearance, these Scout Shoulder plates are easily paired with other Epic Armoury metal works.

History

• Plate armor became more popular as firearm technology became more prevalent during the 13th century
• Historically designed with sculpted ridges and overlapping plates to provide reinforced protection and to deflect attacks on a chaotic battlefield
• Early versions were typically worn under the breastplate and backplate to support the weight of the heavier plate armor
