Custom made historical armour.
Éric Dubé,
Medieval armour, this passion that has filled my life since 1987. It all started when I wanted to decorate my apartment, I wanted armour. But where can I get one? Also, in this research, I discovered groups that organized armour fights. Hence the idea that rather than decorate my apartment, I would make one to participate in these fights it was exactly what I wanted to do. I improvised a workshop at my parents. My father had a small forge on which my first hammer blows provoked a real passion. At that time, I had no idea that I would make a career out of it. My long self-taught apprenticeship began. In the 1980s, information on how to make armour was almost non-existent. By trial and error, my pieces were more and more refined. Then came a day when people asked me if I could make them pieces of armour. Hitting metal until it got the shape I wanted made me happy, so I accepted every challenge. Today, my work is all over the world and I continue to perfect my techniques, but also to share my experience through my videos.
