The lendenier has multiple eyelets for fastening with a lace in the back and for the correct positioning of points for harness suspension in the front.

Linens
All our linens are prewashed before being cut. This should remove the risk of garment shrinkage if properly cared for. We recommend washing in a max 30 degree Celsius cycle with gentle detergent, reshape while damp and air dry, do not tumble dry. Linen can be ironed fairly hot, be careful not to singe, best to iron when still slightly damp on the reverse side. Many of our linens are custom dyed, whilst we take every precaution to avoid risk of colour run, we cannot guarantee there will be none. If your garment has strong or contrasting colours, we recommend dry cleaning or hand washing in cold water to minimise any possible colour run, and wash separately from other garments.
Wools
Wools should be hand washed in warm water, or washed in specific hand wash cycle max 20 degrees Celsius. ALWAYS use detergent designed for wool. Reshape your garment when damp and air dry, NEVER tumble dry. Wool can be ironed on a cool setting, best to iron when still slightly damp, use an ironing cloth or iron on the reverse side.
Silks
We recommend having silk garments dry cleaned professionally.
Quilted
Our range of quilted garments can be washed on a cool delicates cycle using gentle detergent, reshape while damp and allow to air dry inside and out, do not tumble dry. Many of our linens are custom dyed, whilst we take every precaution to avoid risk of colour run, we cannot guarantee there will be none. If your garment has strong or contrasting colours, we recommend dry cleaning or hand washing in cold water to minimise any possible colour run, and wash separately from other garments.
2 reviews for Lendenier
Rated 5 out of 5

I ordered a custom lendenier, very similar to the lendenier shown by Ian LaSpina.
I asked for some extra holes, since this was for a leg harness I hadn’t yet received, and I wasn’t sure exactly where the holes should be positioned to accommodate the harness. So I sent Quiverstock an image saying “More holes around this kind of area, I guess”, and they just went ballistic and put holes everywhere. This turned out brilliantly, since I can now attach both my chausses and my cuisses to the lendenier.
Key points.
1. Very low profile, not at all bulky, avoiding the straps and buckles of modern c-belts.
2. Excellent tailoring, high quality stitching.
3. Superb fit (made to measure), with sufficient room to accommodate my waistline expanding or contracting by a few centimetres.
4. Historically accurate fabric, design, and construction.
I am new to harnisfechten, but this product seems pretty amazing. Highly recommended.
Glad we could accommodate your needs, a pleasure to be of service 🙂

Fit and construction are excellent.
Fit is great and it seems sturdy barring a couple of loose threads. Bears weight of leg harness well and is comfortable

Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you like the fit and performance. The loose threads are not structural, they are the tails left by the automatic trimmer on the sewing machine, nothing to be worried about 🙂
