Forged brooches as authentic garment clasps
In our category of forged medieval brooches and garment clasps, you will find a selection of historically inspired, hand-forged iron brooches and fibulae, which have been crafted in accordance with archaeological models. These medieval iron brooches were indispensable in everyday life and festive attire alike – they were used to fastening cloaks, tunics or leg wraps and also contributed to the aesthetic design of historical clothing.
Our forged brooch replicas are made from a single piece of iron and feature lovingly crafted details such as twisted ends, ornate twists or classic horseshoe shapes, which are closely based on authentic medieval models – ideal as an authentic addition to historical outfits for medieval events, LARP equipment or friends of living history.
Historical iron brooches for every purpose
In the Middle Ages, forged iron garment fasteners were not only functional closures, but also an expression of craftsmanship tradition and historical life. They were worn by both men and women to fasten thick cloaks, wool tunics or heavy layers of fabric. Their robust iron construction made them particularly reliable, and their often ornate ends gave them a decorative character. There is a wide selection available: from small horseshoe brooches for fastening leg wraps or necklines to larger ring or omega brooches that hold heavy cloaks in place.
Some models feature sophisticated twisted or intertwined details that are not only functional but also visually appealing. Examples of this are classic Viking ring brooches and horseshoe brooches, which, thanks to their shape, function both as practical fasteners and as historically accurate decorative elements.
The pin of these iron brooches is inserted through the fabric and securely locked by the ring or forged element – a mechanism that has been in use for centuries.

The forged iron brooches of the Middle Ages paint an impressive picture of historical clothing culture: they combine historical design, robust functionality and craftsmanship and were in use for many centuries.
