This is my 4th pattern from Prince Armory. The video showing the process was awesome. I was so glad the 2nd option of attaching the spaulders to the breastplate was offered. The original version with the strap would have not worked well for this design. With each piece I craft I learn more from the accompanying videos. Highly recommended!

The picture shows two products, one is the leather armor torso and the other is the shoulder armor
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)
I will continue

I had a lot of fun doing this and learned a ton. I decided to go with no face plate as I already have a mask for my lower face. There is a 2.0 version in the offing.

Awesome patterns to work with and videos to learn from. I've been working with leather for a few but never tried anything like armor before, what a hoot! Steep learning curve with hides costs as high as they are. Thought I'd bump it up a notch and use 12-14 oz rightttt! Wow, but it's working.

My most favorite part of this project. I made the scales slightly larger, and instead of a belt, I attached the panels, front and back, to the articulating strap of the chest plate with post screws.

Another great pattern, easy to modify. I eliminated the bottom plate on the chest armor and attached the modified side tassets with screw posts instead of buckles. On the front tasset I eliminated one plate and permently attached the top plate to the lower chest plate with dome rivets, while the remainy plates were articulated.

This Is a very good pattern With beginner friendly description. It requires Some patience to Bend and Put the parts along Each other but IT IS definitely Worth.

I suggest to use screwing rivets aß they Made it easier to tighten Some parts on Each other before tempting Them again to fit the Last parts together.

All in all a very very good article


PS: the Mannequin head ist very small thats why the Helmet Looks to big

We bought this pattern this time.
For a long time, we didn't make any serious projects out of it, we just made a prototype from a single-colored black leather, for which we designed a women's fantasy jacket with a military character.
First, I would like to show you our pictures of this project.

I really like this pattern because it has so many possibilities.
My dream was a White armor with gold decoration.
I liked the sexier solution, so I only created the upper part of the blood so that the models' stomachs could be seen.
I made 1 pair of uniquely designed wrist straps for it and a belt, which I started from the pattern of the armor.
The range will be expanded even further with tasset
I also made a pair of shin guards.
And a quiver was made in the style of the armor.
This is not the complete assembly yet, I will continue,
In this project, there will also be a black prince armory men's armor, so it will be a yin/yang set, (I will upload pictures later)
I am also planning a sexy red/gold set and a Green Fairy set from this pattern.

The first time I have ever done any leather work and I think it turned out very well. The tutorials were very easy to follow and, when I did need something clarified, I received a response right away.

After measuring one of my kid's shirts I determined at what % I needed to print the pattern.
Having then taped and cut out the paper pattern I made a paper mock-up of the top-most parts for my kid to try on.
I decided that the finished product should be slightly too big for them because I didn't want them to outgrow it within weeks.

Because I own no leather-working tools or materials I used sewing materials. I cut the pieces out of Decovil (a non-woven iron-on interfacing with a sturdy, leather like handle); ironed them onto a quilted cotton jersey and cut that out with a seam allowance; folded under the seam allowance and whip-stitched it to the back of the Decovil.
Instead of riveting the pieces together I first added decorative studs where visible rivets would be and then sewed the pieces together at the relevant points. For closures I used velcro because that makes it easier for them to put it on and take it off by themselves.
Because the breastplate would be too big for them at the moment, I have not yet added all the pieces at the bottom.

The pattern is easy to use. I appreciated the YouTube video because it made planning my approach with slightly different materials much easier. I love that I was able to easily size the pattern to my needs.
