Description

Introducing the Hervor Body Armour, a handcrafted leather masterpiece steeped in the rich lore of Viking mythology. Named after the legendary shield maiden from the Saga of Hervor and Heidrek, this armour carries her tale embossed on its chest, making it a wearable piece of history.

Like all Black Raven Armours, the Hervor is more than just an art piece. Its layered leathers and fitted, contoured shape perform as any true armour should, providing protection while comfortably hugging your body. And trust me, these armours are not just for show – they instil a sense of combat readiness in every wearer.

The Hervor Body Armour is tailor-made for the modern-day shield maiden. It’s one of our most practical designs, offering full body coverage and fitting bust sizes ranging from 36 to 40 inches & 40 to 44 inches. But the Hervor is more than just about function – it’s a testament to the artistry of armour-making.

Every detail of this armour has been meticulously handcrafted. From the cutting and embossing to the stitching and riveting, every step of the process is done by hand. The result? A beautifully antiqued piece adorned with detailed edge embossing and complemented by embossed panelling.

But what truly sets the Hervor apart is its durability. With extensive edge binding added to all potentially vulnerable areas, it ranks among our toughest armours ever.

The Hervor Body Armour is more than just protective gear – it’s a homage to the bravery of Hervor, a celebration of Viking mythology, and a symbol of the warrior spirit. Don it, and let the saga continue.
