$220.00
The Alonso Cuirass Armor – Dark Finish is a rugged medieval-style torso defense designed for reenactment, costuming, LARP, stage use, and historical display. Made by Rawblade from 1mm / 19 gauge mild steel, this cuirass offers the look of traditional plate armor while remaining manageable and comfortable for extended wear.
Its darkened finish gives the piece a bold, battle-worn appearance that pairs well with crusader, mercenary, knight, guard, or fantasy character kits. The breastplate and backplate are connected with leather straps and buckles, allowing the wearer to adjust the fit over a gambeson, tunic, or padded underlayer.
Rawblade is known for creating medieval and fantasy-inspired armor with practical wearability in mind. The Alonso Cuirass reflects that approach, combining layered steel construction, visible riveted detailing, and adjustable leather fittings for a piece that looks authentic without being overly heavy or cumbersome.

Cuirasses were an important part of medieval armor, protecting the chest, ribs, and back while allowing the wearer to move, ride, and fight effectively. During the Crusades and later medieval periods, torso defenses evolved from mail and padded garments into more structured plate components. By covering the body’s vital areas, the cuirass became one of the most recognizable elements of a knight’s armor.
This Rawblade version takes inspiration from medieval European armor forms while using modern materials and construction methods suited for costuming, reenactment, and fantasy character builds.
The Alonso Cuirass Armor – Dark Finish is an excellent choice for anyone looking to build a medieval, crusader, knight, or fantasy warrior outfit. Its dark finish, riveted steel details, adjustable leather straps, and wearable 19 gauge construction make it a strong addition to both historical and fantasy wardrobes

Maintenance
Metal Works Products
Epic Armoury metal works products should be treated with wax or quality acid-free vegetable oil and stored in a dry place. Metal armor with leather parts requires separate maintenance for the leather.
Degreasing and Preparing Your Armour
When you first receive your armor, it may be covered in grease and oil used to protect it during storage and transport. Use a degreasing product or mineral spirits with a dry cloth or paper towels to remove the oil. For chainmail, which is harder to clean, use mineral spirits or another solvent, spraying it on the links or fully submerging the chainmail in a degreasing solution. After removing the oil, thoroughly dry your armor. Strong, warm sunlight is ideal, but a hairdryer or heat gun can also be used. Avoid overheating any leather parts.
Cleaning
Moisture is the enemy of armor and chainmail. If your armor gets wet, dry it thoroughly as soon as possible. After handling, wearing, or every six months of storage or display, wipe all metal surfaces with a clean cloth. Lightly oil the clean surface with a quality acid-free vegetable oil or apply a coating of wax. Allow the wax to dry for a couple of hours, then buff it lightly with a soft cloth.
Rust Prevention and Removal
Store your armor in a dry place and check it regularly for signs of rust. If rust appears, gently rub the affected area with a mildly abrasive pad dipped in wax or quality acid-free vegetable oil. Although Epic Dark products are specially treated to resist rust, they should still be treated with oil and kept in dry storage.
Leather Straps and Fittings
Clean leather parts by removing dirt with a hard brush, then gently rub leather soap with a clean, damp cloth until the leather appears clean. Remove soap residue with a separate damp cloth, then dry the leather with a dry cloth. After cleaning, condition the leather with mink oil, olive oil, or beeswax polish. Apply a small amount of oil or polish with a clean cloth, rubbing in circles, and allow it to soak in before wiping away any excess with a final clean cloth.
