News - 2022-2023 ArmStreet's new designs highlights

The quintessence of the ArmStreet is, and always has been, the creation of things that never existed before. While we were always very practical and persistent about our business development and processes, designing new stuff was always a pinnacle of the business and its founders. When the full-scale war in Ukraine struck, and we realized that, with the huge help and support of our friends and customers abroad, we could survive the storm – the first things we wanted to rebuild were our research and development team and processes. You are welcome to scroll down and share the joy of creating new beautiful things with us.

Kids costumes, Halloween edition

A perfect fit for the scary beginning of the year, the first items we released after the short "on pause" period was the line of kids' costumes for Halloween. Being in profound uncertainty, the series of clothes, shoes, and accessories presented by such cute models brought a beam of light. The thought of a family look for next Halloween, trick-or-treating together in matching witch's hats, is something to keep you in action, however dark the night around.

"Key Keeper" series updated

Another trump card from the sleeve, a limited edition dress with stunning items to go along, features other materials (velvet and wool) and color schemes (burgundy and green) compared to the initial "Key Keeper" collection. Those items and photos, like kids' Halloween costumes, were ready in fall 2021 and just waiting their turn. They helped us a lot while we were limited in our favorite task - designing and creating new ones. The limited quantity of woolen dresses sold out fast, but we can still enjoy the aesthetics thanks to photos.

T-shirts

While our brave manufacturing team resumed the working process and dealt with backorders, we sought new ways to express ourselves and keep everyone busy. That's how the t-shirt subcategory appeared and developed during the first half of 2022. Designed and produced in Ukraine during the full-scale war, every single t-shirt is your contribution to the well-being of numerous Ukrainians. Profits from your t-shirt purchases allow us to deliver medical supplies and other important stuff to those who need them.

The orders that will never reach you,

but they will be sent right where they are in demand instead. Starting with the blankets for the refugees during the first months of the full-scale invasion, through sleeping bags for our soldiers, and to the lightweight stretchers for field medics – we can not say how important and appreciated your every purchase from this range of products is.

The “Tapestry of War” t-shirt

We know our community well, and we know we all are passionate about the Middle Ages. With the help of our talented friend, we've created the Bayeux Tapestry-inspired print that depicts the first month of the full-scale war in Ukraine. We bet most of you have it already and have also bought it for all your friends and relatives as a souvenir. Thank you!

And shopper tote bags for those who do not wear t-shirts:

HEMA fencing jacket "One Standard"

The fencing jacket was created in collaboration with "Bureviy," the manufacturer in Ukraine, led by two skilled fencers who also participate in designing and producing military-grade equipment. The jacket has everything you would expect from a fencing jacket and even a little more: an inner layer of 350N certified fabric, collar blade-catcher, anatomical pattern allowing for freedom of movement, breathability, and stylish appearance. It is being tested at tournaments and sparrings and receives positive feedback from fencers worldwide.

Fencing footwear "Dragon" series

Yes, you'll see a lot of fancy fencing (pun intended) stuff on this page. Our team's collective fencing experience most likely covers all the existing ways to swordplay, so we know that proper footwear is a game-changer. And to be on the safe side, we've designed a whole bunch of comfortable, reliable, beautiful footwear with incredible grip. Heritage collection for period look or contrasting sport version, knee-high boots or short shoes – boost your lunges and unpredictable dives with your pair of "Dragon."

"Ant" fencing gear bag

Have you ever tried to get to your swordplay practice by public transportation with all your equipment, fencing mask, protection, and blades? And what about bicycle? And what if it's not a practice in a gym five blocks away but a weekend tournament in a country on the opposite side of the globe? We feel your pain. Here is a highly adjustable backpack system that allows you to combine elements of the "Ant" line according to your current plans. By now, we have swords carrying bag in two lengths, a roll-top duffel bag, a detachable backpack system, and a mountable utility pouch. And more are on the way.

Plastic protection

First things first: yes, this is plastic armor, and no, it doesn't crack. At least after more than a year of being heavily used for practice and tournaments, we still haven't heard from our fellow fencers about our two-component plastic protection being broken. We have three lines that differ in appearance but have the same quality of material used and well-thought-through shape.

Limited edition patchwork t-shirts

The birthday gift to ourselves for ArmStreet's 20th anniversary, this t-shirt combines high-quality print with handmade embroidery and patchwork. It exists in two versions, day and night. It is a masterpiece, a perfect gift for the ArmStreet fan, and an exclusive memorabilia.

“Forest” high boots update

The very first item listed on ArmStreet's website, the "Forest" boots keep the bestseller label for many years without significant changes. You can't improve the perfection. However, you can multiply it and add some extra options. Such as the possibility to order a pair of boots in different colors. Why not? Or order beautiful high-quality leather in limited quantity and create exclusive versions in two unusual shades.

“Heritage” wooden stands

Let's talk again about the swordplay gear. As we've seen earlier on this page, now you have a brilliant solution for the commutes and travels. But what about home or office? Would you keep your favorite saber in a carrying bag or its case? Or your brand new (spoiler alert!) perforated spring steel bascinet, will it stay behind the closet's doors or even in the basement? No way, you want to see them every moment of this endless meeting or while writing your new novel. Our wooden stands are exactly what you need, no doubt.

“Ilse the Bright”

Let us introduce you Ilse, the bright member of our fireside family. Her shining smile and resounding laughter make the cloudy day nicer and the chilly wind warmer. We wanted our new accessories to match her personality and just couldn't stop ourselves!

WMA swordplay cops and pauldrons

Let's keep it simple: lightweight spring steel protection for shoulders, knees, and elbows, which you can order in regular, blackened, or brassed versions.

“Layer One” gambesons

Our new gambeson is available in three different lengths (short, midi, and long), two styles (heritage or sport), and two materials upon request (cotton or linen). The main benefit of wearing the "Layer One" under your armor is that you don't have any bulky seems, and your movements are as unrestricted as possible, considering you are still wearing armor. We've designed those to fit various swordplay disciplines, including WMA or HEMA.

Perforated fencing helmets

Fencing helmets with perforated visors can be made in stainless steel or spring steel. Have you always dreamed of a golden color and an incredibly lightweight helmet? We've got you covered with a harnischfechten bascinet with aventail. It has tinted spring steel options available right on the spot, while others might need some extra charge and a chat or two with our friendly support managers.

“Viking” collection updates

Few more Vikings want to join your party. Short tunics for summer and warm woolen tunics and kaftans for winter. New color combinations, new materials, new embroidery motifs, same good old quality, and exclusive trims by ArmStreet.

Miscellaneous

Spring steel tinted cops and cone-shaped cops – we've introduced so many cops lately that we had to create a separate subcategory for them! Beautiful hat made of velvet and spring steel version of our bestselling "King's Guard" gauntlets.

New colors for old items

It's always good to see earlier works reimagined and finding a second wind with new color schemas.
