Lorica one pieces are fully-lined and chlorine-resistant, making them perfect swimsuits. But they're also versatile enough to be worn as a bodysuit under a skirt or a pair of shorts for everyday slaying. ✨
Our Maille design is based on European 4-in-1 riveted mail (colloquially, chainmail), a military staple from the Iron and Middle Ages all through the 16th century. Before it was supplanted by plate, mail was synonymous with armor. For centuries it was incredibly valuable, expensive and time-consuming to produce—oftentimes the easiest way to acquire it was to pry it off someone else. Good thing you don't have to loot this swimsuit off a dead body to get your hands on it. ;)

This design is based on the style of half-armor common in Europe in the late 16th and early 17th century. During this period, armor was beginning to be designed with reduced coverage (typically protecting only the essentials: the head, torso, shoulders, and legs from the hips to the knee) as military tactics shifted with the rising adoption of the gun. These armors were typically painted black to protect against corrosion with contrasting bright steel bands, which is how the style came to be known as "black and white."

Our Augsburg One Piece is inspired by the Gothic style of plate armor popularized in the 15th century Holy Roman Empire (and draws particularly from A21 of the Wallace Collection). During this period, centers of armor production included Nuremburg, Landshut, and Augsburg — guess where we got our name? This German style was characterized by fluted metal, which aids in the deflection of crushing blows and also looks really snazzy. 😮

Our Laethes design is based on the breastplate by Fillipo Negroli c. 1532-1535, made for Guidobaldo della Rovere, Duke of Urbino. This gorgeous armor features two bat-like wings that flank the torso, finely covered with scales and wildly glaring eyes. There are many interpretations of this armor's decoration, some saying it resembles written descriptions of the goddess Fame ("a vast, fearful monster, with a watchful eye meticulously set under every feather which grows on her, and for every one of them an a tongue in a mouth which is loud of speech and and an ear ever alert," Aeneid 4.181-83), others that it is based on the dragon hide armor of the Islamic warrior Rodomonte, which was covered in eyes like the wings of a seraph. Inscribed on the plaque in the center of the sternum is the Latin phrase "NVLLA BIBAM LAETHES OBLIVIA FLVMINE IN IPSO," roughly translating to "May I not drink of Lethe, for in this river lies oblivion." In Greek mythology, once spirits of the dead arrived in the underworld they would first drink of the waters of the river Lethe to forget their past lives, as well as to allow the living to forget them. This powerful phrase at once proclaims, "I do not want to forget who I was while I was alive, and I do not want others to forget me: my life is indelible." I hope you feel precisely that awesome when you wear this armor.
Our moisture-wicking rashguards make an excellent base layer for exercise or cosplay on those days where you want all the style of medieval armor and all of the performance of modern athletic wear. ✨ Designed with raglan sleeves with maximum comfort and range of motion, and furnished with thumb holes for added versatility. Our standard fit is made with narrower shoulders and curved torso shapes in mind.

Our Henry VIII design is based on the field armor of the notorious king of England, a piece currently on view at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. This intricately designed suit was crafted for the king late in his life (what I like to call his “fat Elvis” period), which he wore into battle during his last military campaign despite his infirmities at the time. But you can get all of the artistry without any of the gout in our take on this beautiful armor. 😉

Our Maille print is based on European 4-in-1 riveted mail (colloquially, chainmail), a military staple from the Iron and Middle Ages all through the 16th century. Look closely and you'll notice that the design contains slightly off-color "maker's rings." In the Middle Ages a smith might weave a stamped ring with his insignia into a piece as a sort of signature on his work. These rings were often made of bronze or brass to differentiate from the steel links. Proudly wear your original Lorica maille wherever you go!

Historically, the dragon was the symbol of imperial power in ancient China. The emperor, as well as his high-ranking officials, often wore robes decorated with the serpentine creatures. But not all dragons are created equal: specifically, dragons with five claws were only to be worn by the Emperor, Son of Heaven, himself, while four claws denoted lower nobility. May the imperial dragons twisting their way through this design imbue you with the same prosperity!

Lorica sports bras use the same soft but strong recycled fabric as our leggings, moisture-wicking and UPF-50 resistant. They feature a wide waist elastic and are front-lined, with the option to include removable bra inserts for additional coverage.
Our Alençon design is based on a 16th century child-sized armor in the collection of Musée de l'Armée, thought to have been made for Hercules-François d'Alençon—the fourth and last son of King Henry II—when he was six years old. Like many French armors of this period, the extant armor does not include leg defenses beyond the tassets, though it is not clear whether these pieces never existed or have simply not survived to the present day. The beautiful harness features an intricate clover-like design, evoking Italian textile patterns of the time.

Our Sackville designs are based on the field garniture of Thomas Sackville, 1st Earl of Dorset. A beautiful armor currently part of The Wallace Collection, it bears significant resemblance to the armor of Sir James Scudamore but for its blued steel: both armors were crafted in the Greenwich Royal Armories under the supervision of master armorer Jacob Halder.
Thomas Sackville himself was a man of somewhat questionable politics: he was a great advocate of "sumptuary laws," which is to say laws that only permitted fancy people to wear fancy things (for example, he dictated that only soldiers holding the rank of colonel or above should be permitted to wear silk and velvet). I get a special kick out of adapting his armor for all of us plebeians.

Our Scudamore design is based on the field armor of Sir James Scudamore, currently on view at the The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Sir James was a prominent Elizabethan soldier, courtier, and enthusiastic jouster; he was praised in Edmund Spenser’s Faerie Queene (published 1596) as an example of chivalry personified.
