Windlass Steelcrafts

100% Cotton

Our black fitted hose were all the rage at the beginning of the 15th century and then again during the French Revolution... the ladies had to wait until the 20th century for the modern, super-fine version.

These black hose are made of cotton with a small amount of stretch to keep their form. You can kneel for hours at your lady's feet without worrying about having baggy knees when you stand up again.

Wonderfully lightweight and comfortable, this romantic blouse features dainty lace trim at the cuffs. The lace with a classic floral pattern draws attention to the billowing sleeves with pleats at the shoulders.

When you want to show that you mean business, the deep neckline slit closes with a button located at the left beneath the stand-up collar with frills. The buttons at the cuffs are also as decorative as they are functional. This blouse is roomy enough to accommodate a dashing man as well.

Romans used dull wooden swords to train their Gladiators and soldiers. And Japanese Samurai used a wooden training sword that was called a Bokken. It's an elegant solution to a vexing problem and effective enough to still be used today. The only problem is that a wooden sword can rot, crack, chip or splinter and eventually become useless.

Cold Steel designed a synthetic substitute, low in price and impervious to the elements. The Cold Steel line of Training Weapons are made of the heaviest grade polypropylene available and closely duplicate a real sword in length, size, weight and feel. While they're not quite as rigid as wood, they have the winning advantages of being virtually unbreakable, remarkably stiff and cut resistant.

In the history of fashion, legs have not always been covered. Leg coverings themselves span the range from wide tubes joined at the top to close-fitting hose. At times they were frowned upon as being offensive but at others, they were welcomed because of the practical advantages they offer. Our grey fitted hose were all the rage at the beginning of the 15th century and then again during the French Revolution... the ladies had to wait until the 20th century for the modern, super-fine version.

These green hose are made of cotton with a small amount of stretch to keep their form. You can kneel for hours at your lady's feet without worrying about having baggy knees when you stand up again.

This sword from Windlass Steelcrafts is a precise replica of the iconic sword of Henry V. Like the original, it’s a relatively short weapon, designed for fast cutting and thrusting. The blade is slightly hollow ground and the edge is sharpened at the factory. It’s beautifully balanced and feels lively in the hand. The pommel is hollow like the original and is appropriately gold plated in the recesses, and has red enamel crosses emblazoned on each side (we used enamel instead of paint for the sake of durability).

An accurate, fully functional replica of a true battle sword once used by the king of England. A design with just enough flair for a sense of elegance, but no doubt a pragmatic, effective cutting weapon. Includes top-grain leather scabbard and belt.

Here's a gorgeous set of "belt tools" inspired by Norse mythology, attractively stored in an "Asgard Creations" gift/display box.

The axe is wrapped in leather and faux fur. The hardwood handle is replete with nordic runes: Raido (journey), Fehu (wealth), Wunjo (joy), Ehwaz (movement), Naudiz (need), Eihwaz (defense), Teiwaz (warrior), Othila (separate), and Thuisaz (giant). The high carbon steel head is forged from 1055 carbon steel and struck with additional Viking symbols and is thick enough for serious chopping and has a sharp edge.

The knife features a raven head pommel, the guard, and the pommel have a rough-forged finish that looks fresh out of the dwarves' smithy. The carbon steel blade comes sharpened and is easy to resharpen after you've used it for a while. The spine of the blade makes this knife suitable for mild chopping as well as precise cutting. This is a medium-sized knife with a generous handle. The grip is high-quality leather wrapped around a full tang and the raised laces do a superb job of providing a secure grasp in wet situations. Includes leather belt sheath. 

The rustic wooden box has leather straps to secure the axe and knife for carrying.
