Draw (Craft) This Again: SCA Leather Breastplate

Description

My very first Leather Project and then the same one after a few years of experience.

The main difference is the new set is crafted with free floating plates to allow fluid movement on the battlefield.  The old one doesn't allow me to twist or bend, in addition to being over-hardened (as demonstrated by the cracks) and worn out.  Also it was difficult to suit up solo as I had the brilliant idea to put the buckles on the back.  It was time to replace it.

Materials:
16 oz Veg Tan Leather
5 oz Oiled Leather
#9 Copper Rivets
Fiebings Dye
Sealant

Hardened with the Cuir Bouilli technique.
