Headband of Strength - Brown Leather

Epic Armoury’s Headband of Strength is a bold leather headpiece designed to evoke the ferocious charm of barbarian heroes and warlords. The 5 mm (0.20") leather band is edge-rolled for comfort and studded with steel panels for period-appropriate texture and visual punch. A matching leather nose guard—finished with decorative rivets—adds character while helping deflect light, harmless taps during roleplay. The rear buckle strap offers generous adjustment, making it easy to fit over bare heads or over minimal padding.

Whether you’re stepping into the Ruinous universe, building a Viking-inspired kit, or finishing a fantasy costume, this headband reads instantly heroic on camera and on the field.

The silhouette draws from 1980s sword-and-sorcery cinema and earlier depictions of steppe and Northern European headgear. While not a historical combat helmet, leather brow bands with metal accents were common decorative pieces for status and ceremony. This modern interpretation keeps the cinematic look while using durable materials suited for today’s LARP standards.
