ARMOURS FOR THE ADVENTUROUS MERCENARY
Epic Armoury’s Epic Dark Renegade Belt & Tasset is a combined belt and tasset , handcrafted from 1mm thick mild steel, and offers great protection and agility. The shape of the front plate is specifically designed to protect the upper thigh and lower waist, while also be more comfortable for a female player. The belt and tassets consist of a metal belt that loops around your waist with two tassets covering each front of your thigh. The tassets are connected to the belt via two vegan leather straps on each end of each tasset, which can be individually adjusted for the perfect fit. The belt and tasset designs, leaves both the inner thighs and crotch area exposed at the benefit of higher mobility.
The Renegade Belt and Tassets is designed to match Epic Armoury’s ‘Renegade’ set, a mercenary inspired armour set that has been designed for specifically female body sizes and types. The Renegade armour is perfect for the well-armed and armoured adventurers or the Rebellious individuals fighting against an unjust empire. Renegade armour is made in such a way that it can also be paired with other Epic Armoury armours, to grant you endless customization possibilities. To wear the Renegade Belt & Tassets, make sure to have the large belt piece resting on the middle of your waist, this is also where the two straps for each of the tassets are located. When you are happy with the fitting and the location of the belt, put on the tassets, make sure that they are tightly fitted in order to keep the armour firmly in place.

Epic Armoury metal works products should still be treated with oil and kept in dry storage. All our metal armours contain leather parts that need regular maintenance using leather-care products to keep the leather from drying out.
Cleaning
If your armour does get wet, it is important that you dry it thoroughly as soon as possible.
After handling, wearing, or after six months of storage or display, all metal should be wiped with a clean cloth. Lightly oil the clean surface with a quality machine or mineral oil. Alternatively, you can apply a coating of wax to the entire surface of exposed metal. Allow the wax to dry for a couple of hours and then buff it lightly with a soft cloth.
Rust-Prevention and Removal
Store your armour is a dry place and check it every couple of months for signs of rust. If any is found, remove it by gently rubbing the affected spot with a mildly abrasive pad dipped in paste wax, oil, or water-displacing liquid.
Leather Straps and Fittings
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.
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.
