Leather Plague Doctor Mask

With an adjustable leather strap and two fabric ties, Epic Armoury’s Plague Doctor Mask is made to fit anyone. Made from natural full-grain quality leather and sturdy stitching, this is a product that can withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather care. And with the colour dyed into the material, it has a particularly fine finish.  Mask has black netting over the eye holes and at the end of the "beak"  for good vision and easy breathing.  You should always condition leather after cleaning, since the soap will have removed some of its natural oils. Treat the leather with mink oil, olive oil, or beeswax polish with a clean cloth, gently rubbing a small amount of oil or polish in circles into the leather. Allow the leather to soak in the oil before wiping the leather with a final clean cloth to remove any excess residue.

Originally designed in 17th century Europe by Charles de L’Orme
