These tassets are an excellent alternative to a tasset belt with the tassets in a fixed position. They will slide onto any belt up to about 2 to 2-1/2” wide, and can be positioned anywhere you like. They look OUTSTANDING under a breastplate, and make it very easy to sit, squat, or kneel down. The polish is a bit hit-n-miss, but it’s easily cured with some WD-40 and steel wool. If you have a breastplate or cuirass without fixed tassets, I highly recommend these(or any of the other styles)as an affordable and great looking alternative. Very nice! 🙂 …..Mark M.

Amazing for the price! Attached to a belt they reach a little bit past my mid thigh. Super easy to maintain too since it’s one big plate! Looks amazing and is super cheap, definitely recommend!
