In the world of reenactment and Live Action Role-Playing (LARP), the thin line between a “costume” and “historical armor” is defined by three factors: materials, pattern, and durability. The Yoremade line, born from the experience of Epic Armoury, has burst onto the market with a clear mission: to democratize authenticity without sacrificing the resilience necessary for real combat.
Yoremade was created with the purpose of uniting historical reenactment communities, Renaissance fairs, LARP, and cosplay enthusiasts worldwide. Our design team doesn’t just create clothes; they deeply research artifacts, paintings, and effigies so that each garment tells a story. The result is a collection that revives the past with authenticity, perfectly adapting to those who bring history to life today.

Architecture of a Historical Kit: The “History to Wear” Concept
Unlike other generalist brands, Yoremade does not design based on medieval fantasy, but on archaeological evidence, paintings, and effigies. This approach guarantees that every piece, from a cotehardie to a doublet, respects the silhouette of the era (1200 – 1600 AD).
Technical Materials and Manufacturing Standards
Durability is the cornerstone of Yoremade. By analyzing its components, we find a selection of textiles designed to withstand the weather and the friction of armor:
- Brushed Wool (80% wool / 20% polyamide): Offers historical warmth and aesthetics with the structural resistance of modern fibers.
- Casement Cotton and Muslin: Used in shirts and undergarments to ensure absolute breathability under multiple layers.
- 1.6mm Mild Steel: A thickness superior to the “costume” standard, ideal for absorbing impacts in medium-contact combat.
Material Comparison: Yoremade vs. Market Standard
| Feature | Yoremade (Epic Armoury) | Standard Costume Clothing |
|---|---|---|
| Inspiration | Archaeological finds and effigies. | Cinematic/fantasy aesthetics. |
| Fabrics | Wool, Linen, and Heavy Cotton. | Polyester and synthetic blends. |
| Construction | Reinforced seams for field use. | Simple seams for occasional use. |
| Customization | Tie-On system and modular compatibility. | Closed pieces, non-modifiable. |
Different Eras: From the High Middle Ages to the Renaissance
The Yoremade catalog is divided into specific eras, allowing the user to maintain historical coherence in their “kit”:
1. High Middle Ages (11th-13th Centuries)
Focus on functional tunics, linen coifs, and simple surcoats. Ideal for infantry characters or early crusaders.
2. Late Middle Ages (14th-15th Centuries)
Appearance of more fitted garments like the Cotehardie and extensive use of brushed wool. This is where Yoremade’s layering system shines, allowing the combination of cotton undergarments with heavy wool outerwear.
3. Renaissance (Landsknecht Era)
For those seeking the “slashed” style and dramatic volumes. Yoremade uses modern tailoring techniques to replicate these complex cuts affordably.
Inspiration: Between Rigor and Fantasy
Our pieces draw from two main sources: documented historical fidelity and the romantic vision of the Middle Ages that shaped today’s fantasy culture.
-
Historical detail: Designs based on real findings.
-
Legendary aesthetics: Inspiration from the medieval ideal that we are so passionate about.

Accessibility and Quality: Designed to Last
We want historical quality to be within everyone’s reach. Therefore, we combine traditional patterning with modern tailoring techniques.
We select materials that not only look authentic but also guarantee maximum durability. Our garments are made to withstand the heat of battle and intensive use at events, maintaining their old-world charm wash after wash.

User Optimization: The Modular System
One of the biggest differentiators is the “Tie-On System”. This innovation allows shoulder armor pieces to be tied directly to gambesons or torso pieces through reinforced eyelets. This eliminates the need for uncomfortable straps and improves mobility on the battlefield, a critical factor for success in long-duration LARP events.
Technical Fact: The brand’s leather accessories use vegetable tanning and “pull-up” oils, ensuring that the patina improves with use, providing that “lived-in” look highly valued by expert reenactors.
