Belt Godfrey

Your morning routine is an essential part of your strict fitness and discipline standards. You wake early for sword drills, and before the sun is fully over the horizon you are eating breakfast and washing up for the day.

You secure your Godfrey Belt over your pourpoint doublet, tightening the sturdy brown strip of leather through its elegantly sculpted buckle. You stand tall in the height of fashion; none shall doubt your ability as the good knight you truly are.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Brown Belt Godfrey is a 1.5 cm wide leather belt that has been handcrafted. Made from brown vegetable-tanned leather, this 3mm thick belt features eleven holes along its 130 cm length. Using strong brown leather and brass fittings, you can expect to use this skinny belt for a long time with regular leather care.

Secure the Belt Godfrey by looping it around the waist and through the buckle, pinning it through the appropriate hole. A new hole may be added with a leather punch for smaller or larger waists! The Belt Godfrey is particularly great for a noble or knight, and is specifically designed to match Epic Armoury’s other Godfrey costuming. Collect the set or mix and match with our other products to giving your character a unique look.

Available in Epic Black, Dryad Green, Red and Brown.

Natural leather products are very durable, but require regular maintenance with leather care products to stay flexible and to increase life-time. Make sure your leather products are kept dry when stored. Let wet leather dry naturally before treating. If frequently wet and dry, increase frequency of maintenance.

Cleaning

Clean by removing dirt with a hard brush, then gently rub on leather soap with a clean, damp cloth until the leather appears clean. Remove soap with a separate damp cloth to wipe away any soap residue and then use a dry cloth to wipe away any remaining water from the leather.

Conditioning

You should always condition leather after cleaning, since the soap will have removed some of its natural oils. Treat the leather with mink oil, olive oil, or beeswax polish with a clean cloth, gently rubbing a small amount of oil or polish in circles into the leather. Allow the leather to soak in the oil before wiping the leather with a final clean cloth to remove any excess residue.
