I Made A LARP Costume In 16 Days || High Fantasy Ranger

- New larp, new costume! I'll take you along on my build process for my most recent costume meant for a high fantasy ranger. And counting all the days I actually worked on the costume, it turns out I only needed 16!
This character is based on a background my player group wrote ourselves. It is an interesting mix between the witcher, mortal engines and some other ideas. But general fantasy costumes like this archercan be adapted to most kinds of high or low fantasy larps. Or even outside of larp, it would be well suited for anything lord of the rings inspired.
The (dutch) larp I'm attending with this costume is Booyah! : www.booyah-larp.nl/index.php/...

Haha, I love how you toss out your original plan for the hood cause sometimes you accidentally make the perfect one XD
Yup, indeed. Why waste time on more effort? And to be honest, just saying 'screw it, lets change the plan' is half the fun.
Double pockets are brilliant. But terminology: you have no interfacing. That's simply a facing. An interfacing is a layer inside the facing especially to stiffen an edge, or any other stiffening layer, like interfacing a fold over collar so it isn't floppy.
Also, as a former competition archer I can say that cloth covering the wrist is zero problem.
Ah yes, that is indeed correct, but in my speed of wanting to say things I occasionally use them interchangeably.
Really good video! You inspire me to start making my own LARP costumes!
Edit: I just finished watching the video, the costumes ended up incredible! It looks amazing 😊
Thank you! And I wish you lots of fun with the making process!
Great video, thank you for posting 👏🤩
This was a good video. I'm making a ranger inspired tunic coat thing and I learned a couple things in fitting here.
And I love that archery tab you made.
Might make some myself
Thank you! And regarding the archery tab, sometimes the simplest projects are the best ones ;)
Wow! Super cool! I hope the event was fun. Thank you for posting.
Thanks! And it surely was!
So cool! Love this combo
That vest fabric is delicious!
A like for hitting the gardendoor!
It looks wonderful. I hope you had a good time at the event. Nice work on the jacket, it looks warm.
Thank you! The event was indeed a lot of fun, so you will see more of this costume in the future! The jacket was pretty warm, but it was surprisingly cold that weekend, and with the freezing temperatures and wind we had still a bit chilly.
Just from the end of it, one major thing I'd note that would have been a good idea for an addition is something for your hair...long hair can be a pain in the ass when shooting because you don't get flowing cinematics, but always seems to get hair in your face and screwing with your vision.
I did not mention it in the video, but I tie the front bits of my hair back in a tiny ponytail with this costume.
@@MarisArmoury Yeah, that just reminded me of the nightmare that I'd had to deal with in the past when my hair was longer...I still occasionally need to deal with issues when my hair gets a bit to long...but, unfortunately, still to short for most solutions. That's why it jumped out at me with it
It's nice to see the process that went into building this one. Definitely a worthy addition to the Scavvie ranks. Watch your back out there, Dead One. ;-)
Thank you for suggesting I join the existing background! Can't wait to continue playing with these characters, especially now that we can go play with glow in the dark stuff 😉
@@MarisArmoury Especially since I apparently turned into a drama magnet. D:
you could use a normal less bulky quiver if you just flip the arrows around so the fletching is in the quiver and not the tip of the arrow
also the jacket is cool
Yes! That is a possibility and a lot of people use them that way. But I set myself a challenge to specifically make one where the arrows face the right way, that, at least for me, saves time when I want to use them. As I'm used to regular archery where I put the arrows on the bow by grabbing the fletching side and putting them on in one motion.
Shame the glove got mouldy…as a fellow archer deeply into trad archery I much prefer and thus recommend the glove! 😂
But nice improvisation! 👍
Also for future builds I’ll recommend a chest guard as a piece of actually functional armour that keeps all the folds etc down so the string won’t catch on the clothing.
I later found out the half-finger gloves I wear with the costume also work pretty well instead of the archery tab! And are easier to wear the entire time, so I don't have to slip them on when combat is starting.
As for armour.. you are in luck, I actually made a leather one quite soon afterwards, got some videos up about that as well :)
Toffe video :-D
Leuk dat je drone shots hebt kunnen regelen :-)
Dankje! Ja ik ben er echt super blij mee! De cateraar van Estera had er een en vond het ook leuk er eens wat mee te experimenteren.
Ik dacht het is dat, of een steady cam - tot ik de schaduw zag ;-)
@@JvdBos Dat laatste shot wordt volgens mij ook wat lastig met een steadycam ;)
Nah, gewoon omhoog gooien ;-)
Can you do a video on how to sew/make all the accessories to this
I already made some you can check this czcams.com/video/LdRjHW9eXhI/video.html or one of the other videos in the larp playlist on my channel
Have you considered adapting your skills set to make your own line of custom clothing?
No? I make one off pieces, that are haphazardly held together with pins and ductape, I am not a designer ;)
What fabrics and sewing materials do you use for this
I am afraid they are mentioned throughout the video, so I cannot give you a specific timestamp and you will have to watch it.
If you had ever done any archery for real, you would know how impractical this outfit is. Archers wear much more closely fitting garb, especially around the arms
Thanks for the tips! I have actually done archery for quite a few years, with whatever loose fitting things I was wearing at the time. And in the two years I have this costume I have never had any issue with the arrows. But I guess I'll change it all up now!
First!
Even better, it is the first first 😂
16 days…Took your time then 🤣
