Chunky Plaque Belt
The perfect belt for your late 14th century rig is here.
This belt is designed after the opulent, thick plaque belts worn by knights of the late 14th century, but with the lightness preferred for modern-day foot combat. The brass plaques are about 1-5/8 inches square and are designed to be slid onto a 1-1/2 inch leather belt blank. This makes the belt easy to assemble and disassemble for maintenance and to alter the length for use over armor or civilian dress.
The plaques are made from brass sheeting, which means the belt is a lot lighter than it looks. Yes, the plaques could be dented, but you can replace them for about the cost of a bacon cheeseburger.
Pricing: Belt Blank and Hook Kit: $20.00; Plaques: $7.00 a piece.

Quatrafoil Plaque Belt

Pricing: $10.00 per plaque
