Leather Cuisse and Leather Thigh Armor from Dark Knight Armoury
A cuisse or thigh armour first appeared in the middle of the 14th century. Later in the 14th century a backplate was added enclosing the thigh entirely. In the 16th century the cuisse was made of narrow plates connected by straps making it quite flexible. Dark Knight Armoury has designed the leather cuisse designed to protect the upper part of the leg namely the thigh and in some cases the knee. The knee of the cuisse or knee cop protects the knee cap from a devastating sword blow during sword fighting or SCA reenactments. Our leather cuisse and leather thigh armour is made of 13/15 ounce armour grade leather.
