Other Leather Items for Rent

( prices shown are for up to 30 days' rental )

L93 – Gauntlets: medium-thick leather to protect the hands, but flexible for any kind of sword work – which can mean the difference between a bruised finger and a broken, infected finger. black only; 3 inch  cuff. $5.00/pair   in small, medium and large [and it's better to go a little smaller than a little large. Looseness in the fingertips causes blisters]

 

 

The director has asked that some of the actors wear bandoleers, but what kind?

A bandoleer is any sash from which are hung many rounds of ammunition. The term goes back to the 16th century, so the look has changed over time.

 

Ours don't back quite that far, but a choice still has to be made from the three styles we do carry

 

 

L13-1 – Bandolero; Western: from the Spanish, meaning someone who wears a bandoleer. The popular image of Pancho Villa wearing two of these crisscrossed from his shoulders has made this an iconographic accoutrement for the stereotypical "bandito".    leather - $10.00

L13-2 & L13-3 – Bandoleer; Modern: . in nylon, therefore appropriate for shows set after 1970. Two styles shown, rifle and shotgun respectively  - $14.00

S96 – Linked Ammo:  Specifically for use in machine guns, we've seen them draped on many a guerrilla's shoulders on the evening news.  - $15.00

 

    L16 – SWAT assault rifle sling -  helps keep the rifle close to the body while rappelling.    nylon - $4.00

    S91 – Ammo bag, AK47 clip holder: at about 10 inches tall, it serves as a good general purpose bag, although it does have that strange curve in its shape. [Directors love to see stage terrorists carrying an AK-47 and draped with an ammo belt. But think: assault rifles use clips to hold the bullets - not ammo belts. Instead, that terrorist should have an ammo bag such as this one that can hold 4 loaded clips. But it looks too much like a purse, so no one goes for it.)   $3.00
