How to craft a female leather breastplate. This was a wax hardened leather chestplate custom designed for the use on a Game of War commercial. The video is loaded with info that will be useful even if you do not want to make this breastplate yourself. The video shows the process as I create a custom fitted leather corset/breastplate to be used as costume armour for a Game of War Commercial. Using vegetable tanned leather I pattern and cut the body of the cuirass and then shape it by soaking it in water. When it is dry I use molten paraffin wax to harden the breastplate and give it a rich brown colour. Then I sew on upper breast detail and add a machine stitched leather binding to all of the edges. Using rivets and brass buckles I attach latigo leather straps that allow the fit to be adjusted. Next a piece of pigskin lining is dyed and riveted underneath. Some detailed hand sewing and some patterning tricks are also revealed in this build. I have many other leather working tutorials with tips and tricks on how to make your own custom fitted leather armor.

hi its me it looks awesome
Great work! I got a leather armor vest and I dyed it with dark brown using spray. It basically dyed very nice, but now I need to make it look distressed or weathering. How would you do weathering on a nice leather armor. I should have used a piece of wool like you did which make it look distressed already. Thanks
This video was exactly what I was looking for. I've never worked with leather before, so making the chest and shoulder pieces for my outfit's going to be an adventure. Is there anyway to harden and shape the leather without wax? I dont have access to that much heated wax
you can harden in warm water. should be too hot to put your hands in but not boiling. at bit tricky to do without over hardening. test a few pieces first. they won't reach full hardness until a they cool down hours after they come out of the water. usually takes less than 10 minutes in the water.
Awesome work! How did you/do you harden large area pieces? Same process wax process?
You can brush wax while in the oven for larger pieces.
What did you use for the breast cup and where can I get it!! I've been working on a breastplate for my wife for awhile now and am having the hardest time hand-crafting sewn breastcups.
Where did you get the molds
😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What is that mold you used for the breast cup like what would I searched to try and find one
I bought mine from a blacksmith supplier that is now out of business.
where did you get the cup mold you used when you shaped the breast cups on the armor
that one was from Ironmonger armory. Not sure if they are still around as I purchased from them many years ago.
🤩✨👍
hi just want to know when she was wear the armor was there any chaffing or rubbing that she complained about
No complaints. She was only in it for about 2 hours Day 1 and 8-10 hours day 2. I knew that going in or I would have lined it with a piece of soft pigskin (Skin side against her body). The flesh side can get pretty rough if you wear it too much.
Do you have the pattern that you used for this? I checked your Etsy link and didn't see it.
I don’t have a pattern posted. I could generate one but it may take a couple of weeks.
@@DrawbridgeProps I'll take a whack using your techniques and I think I have enough measurements that I should be able to come up with a decent pattern to use
Where can I find the tools you used to shape the breast cups?
Also would love to know!
where do you get the cup form?
that one was from ironmonger armoury
I hope you are still monitoring this site. This is really cool stuff. I am interested in the video of how make the body form out of cellophane and what looks like newspaper. Of particular interests is addressing the size and curvature of the breasts. You used a tool to make the breast cups...what was that? Looked like a plumming plunger and some kind of metal ring. Thanks for the video.
Plastic the person with self cling food wrap. Cut up both sides from side hip to armpit. Tape back together and stuff. The forms are for black smithing called dishes. The round part is a stake I made from the bottom of a oxygen bottle. I cut and welded it back together to make the ball shape. It’s filled with sand.
@@DrawbridgeProps The black smithing dishes or forms...do you or would you use different diameter/depths for a woman with a larger chest? Or is a onesize fits all? Someplace to buy those blacksmithing dishes? Very interesting approach, combining skills from multiple craft. Thanks.
what sewing machine do you use?
Cobra class 4, and an old consew 206 in this video

Britt you just look awesome in that amor.
Are you still doing this type of work?
first
before I could even watch it!!
like I said first
Here's the commercial: m.czcams.com/video/SuxxBg1jjTk/video.html
Great work, looks really cool. It's more sexy than functional unfortunately.
Thanks!! Producers asked for sexy over practical. I guess I did alright.
Leather bra bro.... It's a leather bra lol
what sewing machine do you use?
for the binding I used my walking foot consew rb-206 1980's made in japan. I has had the motor replaced with a servo motor for nice slow stitching through thick material. For the big stitching across the breast I used the Cobra Class 4. We also have a walking foot juki and two tippmann bosses in the shop.
Drawbridge Props & Armoury thank you.
