Members OdinUK Posted August 11, 2009 Members Report Posted August 11, 2009 Does anyone know where I can find patterns for Vambraces, a type of medieval armour? see for examples: http://www.battle-ready.com/vambraces.htm Quote
Contributing Member UKRay Posted August 11, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted August 11, 2009 A suggestion: Rather than using someone else's pattern why not nip to the local flooring shop and blag an old book of flooring samples. These can be used to 'mock up' ideas and develop patterns. Soft vinyl flooring responds in a similar way to leather and can even be stitched and riveted. It cuts easily with any sharp knife and will save you a fortune in ruined leather.

Members RuehlLeatherWorks Posted August 11, 2009 Members Report Posted August 11, 2009 Here's the basic vambrace pattern I use. If you want other patterns and ideas, check out www.armorarchive.org Quote
