Edward Steel Backplate

Introducing the Edward Steel Backplate, the perfect addition to your armour set. This backplate helps bring a hint of history to life as a part of your armoured ensemble and your themed character alike.

Forged by Mytholon

Forged by hand from 18-gauge mild steel, this backplate is part of the Edward set from Mytholon. Featuring an authentic design, adjustable fit, and a heavily armoured aesthetic, the Edward backplate is a great fit for your armour. The 18-gauge mild steel construction is well-suited for LARP combat, costuming, and light sparring. Please note this back armour comes coated in oil to protect it from rust. This backplate is best paired with the Edward Steel Breastplate (MY102114). Please note the breastplate is sold separately.

The top of the backplate has a concave section. There are multiple straps located at the top. The two buckled straps facing opposite directions are for securing the Edward spaulders or other pauldrons with a buckle. The two straps attached in the front, the two without buckles, are for securing the breastplate over your shoulders and chest. Each side has rounded edges and a concave arm section to make it easier to move in.

Further down, there is an angled point with a riveted border on the plackart. Two more buckles closer to the waist are for securing the lower straps of the breastplate. At the bottom, there is an angled plate with riveted edges. This plate is similar to a fauld that moves with you while you’re out on adventures.
