Leather Armor Codpiece ...

Post by waveicle »

trolling ebay and this made me laugh ..

http://cgi.ebay.com/Leather-Armor-Codpiece-SCA-LARP-Medieval-Renaissance_W0QQitemZ160084529267QQihZ006QQcategoryZ43217QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Amusing comments by the seller:

"This codpiece will NOT protect you from a blow to your genitals. Trust me; my wife made me combat test my codpiece, and I don't want you to share my pain."

and ...

"I can wear mine all day with no discomfort whatsoever"

I wouldn't go for it, though. It looks more like a construction tool holster than a properly rounded and upholstered bag for your cods.

But if you go parking a sharp-edged tool in that, you may not be wearing it "all day in no discomfort."
