These leather greaves are part of the fantasy armor set I designed around a mix of historical influences, fantasy armor, and Viking and Celtic-inspired artwork.

The design features layered leather construction with detailed knotwork panels, giving you plenty of room to make the finished greaves your own. Tool the included artwork, change the colours, experiment with different leather finishes, or simplify the design depending on the look you're after.

These aren't intended to be a strict historical reproduction. They're fantasy leather armor with historical influences, designed for leatherworkers building armor for SCA, LARP, cosplay, Renaissance fairs, costumes, or simply because making your own armor is fun.

These greaves are also part of a larger matching armor set. You can build them on their own, or if you're interested in making the complete set, you can get the matching pieces together in the Armor Pattern Pack at a discounted price.

Features:

  • Fantasy Design: This is not living history, but a piece of armor Inspired by both history and fantasy, with some artwork inspired by Viking and Celtic cultures, the greaves feature detailed knotwork that not only enhances the aesthetic but also reflects the craftsmanship of old-world armor.
  • Customizable: This pattern allows for personalized adjustments to fit your style. Choose your own leather, colors, and finishes to make this piece truly unique. 
  • Beginner-Friendly: Clear instructions make this pattern perfect for both beginners and seasoned leatherworkers. With detailed, easy-to-follow markings you’ll be able to craft your own greaves in no time.
  • Versatile Use: Ideal for Costumes, Cosplay, Renaissance fairs, or even SCA if you really want to. These greaves will be a great addition to your armor set.

Sizing:

Available in four sizes, these greaves are sized by the length at the front of the shin, measured from the top of the foot to a bit below the knee. This ensures a comfortable, natural fit for your desired look. This pattern has a lot of extra room to adjust how thick your calf is, from wide to narrow. Pick your size based on the designer length listed bellow.

  • Small: Length 11.75 in / 29.8 cm
  • Medium: Length 13 in / 33 cm
  • Large: Length 14.5 in / 36.8 cm
  • X-Large: Length 16 in / 40.6 cm

I have not done a full tutorial video of this pattern yet, but here is a live stream involving some of the finalizing of the prototype.
