Leather Breastplate Pattern / Cuirass - Viking Serpents and Knotwork | PDF + SVG
A Leather Breastplate / Cuirass Pattern complete with Tutorial Video!
Shoulders are sold separately and can be found here
This Leather Pattern is for SCA rattan combat, costume, LARP, or cosplay. It comes with Viking Serpent Knotwork as well as some simple additional knotwork that you can carve onto the leather if that's something you'd like to do.
SIZING: Tailored to meet your needs, these are the measurements for the front and back of the Cuirass. I recommend a touch bellow the clavical to a touch bellow the belly bottom for front length which is the most important measurement along with around the waist. For that you should add the width at Waist together of the front and back, and imagine there's a few inches of overlap on each side.
