Warrior & Starter
This course is designed to be the perfect introduction to the world of leatherworking and armor crafting. It will include the complete Warrior Armor Pattern bundle, all accompanying video lessons to get you well on your way.
The Warrior Armor Series is designed to introduce you to many of the basic techniques and process such as the ways to cut the leather, and which leather to use for armor. You’ll tenderly be introduced to the the concept of wet forming leather, which is important for achieving high quality dimensional leather products that are not just boring flat rectangles.
This armor is not extravagant design but it remains a critical first step to get mileage towards your skills as an artisan.
This tier also includes the upcoming starter bundle with another beginner friendly armor suit which will offer a complete in depth break down of every basis skill needed for leatherwork. Our previous bundles focused on learning by making and this course will expand upon that to include many additional lessons on specific skills and topics related to the how and why of leatherworking and armor making.
Fantasy & Imperial
This course is the next step up and will expand your horizons about what leatherworking can be and raise your expectations about what makes quality functional armor. It is also a great option for those who already have a prior leather crafting experience and are looking for their next challenge.
This course includes both the Fantasy Armor Bundle and the Imperial Knight Bundle. The Fantasy Armor Series was originally crafted as a complete crash course and tries to rapidly explore many concepts through the creation of one head to toe suit of armor.
This armor introduces the student to many new concepts such as articulating armored joints, retaining straps, decorative tooling, and creates a highly enclosed armor harness with many components normally left out of most armor patterns you’ll find online such as full greaves, gorget, and knee/elbow joints.
This series is critical in getting the experience in initial swivel knife work, tooling, and stamping that will prepare you for future advanced content.
The Imperial Knight Series is kind of like the big brother of the fantasy series. Function wise, the design is similar but it takes the complexity and layers up a notch with much more intricate edge geometry throughout the series. While this series includes patterns for hand cutting, this series also has an additional focus on how to use lasers for cutting leather and can show how you can save time with repetitive small parts.
Elven & Berserk
This course is where you’ll be introduced to many of the more intricate and unique leather and armor concepts. This course includes the Elven Lord Bundle and the Berserker Bundle.
This course is especially valuable with it’s vast array of exclusive premium lesson content that is included with each bundle. The hallmark of the Elven series is in it’s myriad of leather tooling demonstrations.
You will be introduced to many styles of decorative tooling and unique geometric details as you learn to carve and tool elegant lines and visually stunning design throughout the armor, There are actually a few defining feature of the Berserk series. First of all, it just looks menacing. Second is it’s highly complex design.
The number of articulations and advanced design that goes into this set is off the charts. And finally, there is a specific focus on the advanced techniques of how to wet form leather in many ways and get clean and refined shapes. Techniques will be demonstrated by hand as well as with tools. There are even new tools and 3D printed designs that were designed to aid in wet forming leather that are demonstrated and available in this series.
Bonus & Future Content
Our courses are constantly growing with many premium lessons still to come. These courses include access to anything normally available in their included bundles.
For example there are many advanced topics in development now for both the Elven and Berserk Series and a whole array of supplemental beginner to intermediate lessons and topics with our upcoming Starter pack included with the beginner course.
All of our bundles include plans for many additional content such as accessories like pouches, shields, sheaths, quivers, belts, and more.

I shaped it on the armor and water-shaped the skin with the chest part, so it was more reminiscent of a metal armor.
I didn't use the given motifs, but I made it unique with a lot of inlays.
The shoulder armor, which is made of 3.8 mm thick leather. I soaked it in water and dried it on the stove, so now it has a metal hardness.
Soon I will present my other works here.
I am very grateful to the Prince Armory team for sharing their knowledge and making it available to everyone. (they don't keep knowledge in the palm of their hand)
