Description
Samnite Trefoil Cuirass and Armored Belt
This set of brass Samnite torso armor is composed of a 2-part cuirass and a wide brass belt. The Breastplate and Backplate are of brass backed with a layer of suede leather for comfort. The leather is also fitted over the edge of the plates to prevent the brass from damaging the clothing beneath. The breastplate has a set of riveted plates that hook into rings on the back plate to fit the armor together. Choosing which ring to hook it into adjusts it to size.
The wide belt is similarly constructed, being a wide band of brass backed and edged with suede leather and fitted together by a pair of hooks. Choosing which eyelet to hook it into adjusts the belt size.
This armor set will best fit someone with a small, or a smaller-medium sized torso and shoulders. The breast and backplate could be made to fit someone larger by either adding more linked rings to extend the size or by using some cord or leather ties to link the hooks and rings.
