The Alençon Shorts, Iron Fit
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 Iron Fit leggings feature a 0.75 inch elastic for a slide-resistant fit at the waist, a front gusset, and proportionally roomier thighs and calves for muscular body types.
Forgive the current lack of photography, Elie is working on it!
