Chest Armor Leather Pattern | Druid LARP | Template & Instructions
You don't need to be a master crafter to make your druid character feel like the greatest druid of all time at your LARP events. Channel the power of nature with this pattern and defend the forest from the forces of evil.
In this listing, you'll find the complete pattern to build a leather belt that will help you on your adventures and add personality to your character. The files include step-by-step instructions and patterns in three different sizes, easy to print in DIN A4 or letter size, or even A0 if you have access to a larger printer, so you don't have to spend time assembling the pattern. And if you have any questions, I'll personally help you throughout the process.
Equivalence of the different sizes*:
- S-M: 90-110cm chest circumference
- M-L: 100-120cm chest circumference
- L-XL: 110-130cm chest circumference
*This armor isn't designed to fully close the sides, as the adjustable lacing system is intended to sufficiently cover this area, in keeping with the messy, lightweight armor aesthetic. Therefore, the intention is to leave about 15-20 cm free on each side, covered by the drawstring.
- Materials needed -
- 10-12 sq feet of veg tan cow leather about 2’5-2’7mm thick.

- Leather dye and varnish.
- Stitching thread,
- About 48 eyelets.
- Tools needed -
- Leather scissors or a sharp cutter.
- Blunt needles.
- Leather punch holes (for eyelets sizes).
- Brushes (for dyeing)
- Awl (for stitching holes, but you can use a small punch hole).
- Eylets setter sets.
- Beveler.
- Leather engraving tools.
- A muscled mannequin or a piece of foam with the pectoral’s shape.
The file is specially designed so you don't need extensive leatherworking experience, and you can adapt the final product to your skill level if you don't feel confident enough. The files are compressed in a .RAR file, so you will need a decompressing app to open it. If you have any problem with that contact me and I'll send you the files.
Remember, this is a digital download. No physical item will be shipped.
