About

Armor Armor is the part of the kit that finishes a character. You can carry the nicest sword on the field, but if there's a hoodie under your tabard, nobody believes you're a knight. We've been making armor since 2007. Before Epic Armoury existed, our founder ran a larp shop, and most of what's in this catalogue traces back to something that annoyed him behind the counter.
