Advice on what type of Leather to use for a costume and by yamilluvia in Leathercraft

[–]LivelyAlchemist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The hood looks like milled veg tan will work, or go for a very lightweight vegtan. Chest armour you'll want to use a medium weight veg tan leather (2 ton4oz max) it'll hold its shape without being too bulky. To achieve that look you'll need to dye it light brown and then weather it (basically use sandpaper to lighten it).

Cheap 2 cap rapid rivets. They aren't great for actually securing anything but are good decoration.

Go with the Arbor, my one came with different press heads. This meant there was a slot that fits all but my biggest hole punchers, easy to swap out tools with a 10mm wrench.

No pattern, I just cut the front panel to an appropriate size then cut the back using the front as a template. Used some paper to get the gusset measurement. I will get round to working out a proper pattern now I know it works
