Whether you want fencing armor that looks like garb, or garb that
passes SCA Fencing Armor Standards, at the
Linen Armor
Mercantile Company
, we are dedicated to bringing you the highest
quality, best looking, most comfortable, most durable, fully functional,
historically accurate, SCA fencing armor, and WMA fighting garb
available on the market today.

Unlike other SCA fencing armor, and WMA fencing armors, typically
made of Trigger Poplin or duck canvas, that are hot, heavy, and don't
breath well, our "Fencing Garb"  is so lightweight, and so comfortable,
that you will want to wear it all day, and so good looking that you'll want
to wear it to Court!

All of our fencing armor is made from 100% European Linen* and
meets and/or exceeds all Society for Creative Anachronism Kingdom
and Society Rapier Combat Armor Requirements.

Also, with the exception of some of our
Nobleman Line creations, all
of our fencing armor is machine washable! Although you may order a
custom outfit that may require hand washing, NONE of our armor will
be "Dry Clean Only."

WHY LINEN???
The linen that we use in our armor offers the full  "Puncture Resistant"
protection required by SCA Corporate Rules, at only three layers, rather
than the four layers needed for more conventional fabrics.

Linen is a 100% natural fabric that absorbs moisture better, breathes
better (even when damp) and is more period than the poly-somethings
usually used for fencing armor.

All of our linen is pre-washed and subjected to three times the puncture
resistance testing required by SCA Corporate Rules.
* Some of our higher-end Fencing Garbs may use materials other than Linen for the outer
shell. Please see the details of each of our Lines for more information.
