Upgraded splinted leather set. Lightweight aluminium riveted to 9oz leather with saddlery fittings.

Scale mail

Have any of your ever worked with scale mails?

A friend of mine and I came up with a wonderful larp character who has been turned into a demon because of one character’s nativity and one character stumbling over a stone (it’s a long, dumb story)

To make the outfit perfect, we wanted to make some scale mail gloves. Have any of you tried something similar? And do you have any advice for us?

Still a long way off finished but the wings for the shoulders are roughed in now.

A few months on from finishing this build and I finally had a chance to put it through its paces on field. It worked really well. The weight is noticeable off-field but not so much while fighting. Movement is pretty good and it's very comfortable to wear. Cinching it in at the waist very firmly with belts did a great job of helping the weight distribution so it wasn't felt on the shoulders. Heat load from the armour was less than expected but I think wearing it open at the neck helped a lot with that. It provides a good level of protection from strikes but I didn't put it to the real test with any solid strikes from a pike or similar. I suspect it will help but not anywhere near something like lamellar or a cuirass. All in all I'm pretty pleased with how things went. I think it'll be my go-to body armour for casual nights of fighting in future. . #jackofplates #larparmour #tudorarmour #warhammerlarp #renaissance #handmade #swordcraft #medievalreenactment #warhammerfantasy #16thcentury https://www.instagram.com/p/CEvIJdkHNz5/?igshid=6nzj1pi9ix6f

Okay so it's another bathroom #workinprogress selfie. I so rarely make anything for myself that documenting the process is a strange concept for me. Body of this jack is most way done now. Leather trims to the arm holes and ties up the front will just leave me with the intimidating process of sewing the next 200+ plates into the bottom panels.... eep! . . #jackofplates #brigandine #tudorarmour #elizabeathanarmour #16thcentury #fashion #bodyarmor #popcollar #selfie #handmade #wip #larp #sca #larparmour #swordcraft #swordsman #duellist (at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-ysiNmHlBn/?igshid=1dllb7a4qj60e

Done! ~18 months and ~150 (or more?) hours later my jack of plates is finished. Such a huge project, started on a mad whim with so many many lessons learned. It's full of mistakes, blemishes and generally fuckery that I hope no one ever looks too closely but I'm kind of proud of it. Now all that awaits is to pick up a sword and give it a spin some time once this covid19 business simmers down. Given the hefty 9kg or so it weighs due to my equally hefty 3XL frame once it's all on and secure it's surprisingly comfortable. Really is akin to wearing equivalent maille in many respects. The moment I was nearly finished I'd already started to tell myself what I'd do differently on the next one....😆😂😭 . . #jackofplates #whiteelephant #brigandine #larparmour #tudorarmour #renaissance #reenlarpment #reenactment #bodyarmor #stabvest #disneyvillain #popcollar #handcrafted #crazyideas (at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_uPlLeHhmZ/?igshid=seu268c58rg8
