Essentially our leather chest protector, with an added back piece, this armor works well to protect your upper chest during HEMA/ Sport Fencing or during Larp/Cosplay.
This piece pairs well with a kidney belt to offer full torso protection and superior mobility over a full length cuirass.
Made from 8-10 ounce latigo cowhide, and secured via 4 buckle straps which make it very adjustable and comfortable.
You have the option of 1 or two layers, or to have it wax hardened or left unhardened. If you plan on using it as actual protection, we recommend the hardened option.
For a more tailored fit, please include a measurement of the circumference of your chest when ordering.
If you’d like the different layers in your 2 layer armor to be different colors, let me know in the order notes.
As always, customization is available, message me for details.

We now have a section of in stock items! Everything in this section is available, and will ship within 1-2 business days.
Our items are all made by hand. We do not mass produce anything, and every item has been designed, tested, and created by us. A lot of time and effort has gone into every item we offer, and we do our best to make sure that everything that leaves our shop lives up to our standards and hopefully yours.
We only offer a few different sheath options, but we operate out of a large brick & mortar cutlery store, so there's a chance we have the knife you're looking for. Contact us to set up a custom order.
All of our belt holsters meet IDPA regulations, but our shoulder holsters do not.
To put in bluntly, if your leather sheath does what it's supposed to do, you shouldn't need to put a different sheath inside of it. Our leather sheaths function very well being made out of leather, and our kydex sheaths work very well without a leather lining.
No. Each item is for the sheath/scabbard/holster itself, no knives, swords, or guns are included with any purchase.

This short cuirass was even better than I had expected, and that was after having already purchased a few other items from GrommetsLeathercraft. I'm surprised time after time with how good the quality is with their work. I highly recommend this if you want to feel like an indestructible beast. Might need some help getting in and out, though.

Dégeulasse, ils sont pliée l'armure dans une petite boîte, ce qui a massacrer l'armure. La peinture et la solidité du cuir fut donc altérés à cause de l'emballage. Ils l'ont aussi pas huilé. Je déconseille vivement.

I purchased the chest piece, pauldrons, and wrist gauntlets. It is PERFECT. They did exactly what I asked for. Thinking of ordering another set in a different color.
