Mercenaries, rogues, thieves, and other dexterous adventurers need armour that is easy to wear and that moves as they do.

The bottom edge of the breastplate ends before the waist. Adjustable, brown leather buckled straps secure to a ring at the back, holding the rogue armour in place. This handmade, welded dark steel armour is ideal for fantasy and medieval settings, and comes in two adjustable sizes.

Care Instructions:
- This armour will arrive to you covered in protective oil. While this oil can be removed, it must be replaced with another protective maintenance product to protect your steel armour from rusting. Occasional oiling is necessary for the proper maintenance of this armour. When storing this armour, protect it from oxidation by coating it with machine oil.

- For the leather fittings, remove dirt with a hard brush, then gently clean with leather soap and a soft, damp cloth. Remove soap with a separate damp cloth, then use a dry cloth to wipe away remaining water. Let dry naturally. Condition with oil or polish, then wipe with a final cloth to remove excess residue.
