Greaves exist because the shin sits with very little natural padding between skin and bone, making it a genuinely vulnerable point in any combat context — a reality as true for a child’s costume as for a full historical impression. This reproduction offers that same recognisable greave silhouette sized down specifically for children, built in soft, comfortable leather appropriate for younger wearers.
Child’s Leather Greaves, Pair
Greaves protect the tibia, the bone closest to the skin and most susceptible to injury from a low strike or accidental blow. This pair is sized specifically for children, offering the same protective silhouette as our adult greaves in a lighter, more comfortable leather build. Suited to young re-enactors, costume events, or imaginative play.
