First set I made from 5oz veg tan I have not really tried anything armor related before I found Prince Armory on YouTube . Well I am hooked lol

First big leather project, and first time using a pattern. So far I've just done the breastplate. My only regret is getting too casual about cutting off FAR too much of the overlapping material where it buckles at the sides (Should have tested that on the foam mockup first). Was easy to follow along with the video. Looking forward to making more pieces!

This has been a demanding, yet very inspiring and satisfying project. After I finished the helmet, I wanted the entire suit of armor, so I got the templates and started on the torso right away.

As a pure novice this was a challenge. The first attempt used rivets, but as no size is listed, I got ones too large, and they snagged my hair. So I stitched the next one. I've since learned I have stitched it wrong, but I can probably take it apart and fix it. Still looks nice.

Pattern was great! The video to follow along was super helpful. I love the way it turned out. The only issue I encountered was the mismatched holes on the back plate but it was easily remedied by using the side pieces as guides. Definitely want to make more of these patterns!
