Medieval Crusader Leather Belt with Brass Cross Studs

"A warrior’s girdle must hold firm, whether bearing scabbards on the march or cinching woollen garters against the chill." Osric, Keeper of the Hearth & Forge

Forged in spirit for the rigours of reenactment and campaign life, this Crusader belt is constructed by hand from durable top-grain buff leather. With a sturdy thickness of 3 to 3.3 mm, the hide resists stretching and premature wear, ensuring it remains a dependable fixture of your arming kit. The leather undergoes drum dyeing, penetrating deep into the grain to produce a resilient, even matte finish that complements historical kit without artificial shine.

Adorning the leather strap are solid brass buckles paired with detailed Crusader cross studs. These metallic fittings offer both structural integrity and traditional visual distinction, echoing authentic martial heraldry. Whether you are outfitting for a protracted LARP engagement or dressing in period tunic and gambeson, this belt provides a proper foundation for your gear.

To accommodate varying builds and layers of kit, we provide three distinct lengths: 130 cm, 150 cm, and 170 cm. When selecting your size, remember to account for bulk if you intend to wear this over heavy wool, padding, or a thick winter coat.

Maintaining buff leather demands simple discipline. Keep the leather away from persistent moisture to preserve its deep colour and structural temper. Clean off dust and field grit routinely using a soft, dry cloth. Should you encounter stubborn dirt from the muster field, wipe it down gently using a damp cloth and mild soap.
