Vambrace & Elbow Armor Pattern - Viking Artwork
A Leather Vambrace and Elbow Pattern for all your combat, costume, or cosplay needs. Designed for SCA combat this pattern is fairly bomb proof when wax hardened. If rattan combat isn't your thing, it can easily be used in your next costume or cosplay, and looks great as a part of your suit of leather armor.
This is not a one size fits all pattern, some adjustments may be needed to make it work for you.
X-SMALL
Small is very small, the elbow and vambrace have both been adjusted, as well as stitch hole placement and upper layers. This is designed for smaller adults, and older children. The exact measurement of this pattern was for 9.5" elbow point to bump at the wrist pinky side.
MEDIUM / LARGE
This is a good base for a variety of people, you may have to tweak the overall length and width of the Vambrace slightly, but the elbow will remain unchanged. The exact measurement of this pattern without adjustment is for 11.25" elbow point to bump at the wrist pinky side.
X-LARGE
Would you consider yourself a mutant? Is there a chance you went to Xaviers school for the gifted? If you have forearms that are over 14" at their widest point, this may be for you. These are also long at 12.5" elbow point to wrist but can certainly be trimmed down in a couple of spots to adjust the size. The Elbow on this Pattern is also 10% larger than my usual elbows.
* Please note that I add a rolled edge using a sewing machine on my arms, this is by no means necessary and isn't really something I would attempt to do with hand stitching. As such it is not in this pattern.
