8-9oz Leather scales.
Unhardened - $25 a batch
Acrylic hardened - $30 a batch
Dyed / Painted 8 - 9oz - $30 a batch
Acrylic hardened & Dyed / Painted - $35 a batch

Prices are based off a scale 1.5" - 3.5" in size. Different sized scales will be subject to different pricing.
Shipping price is not included.

This is a list of all the scales i would recommend. While i can do custom designs, i cringe every time someone orders scales that i know won't be easy to lace in leather. There is a reason i only use The Basic style personally. I designed The Basic specifically for leather so that you don't end up with four layers of 12oz leather in the corners. With metal scales, overlap is not an issue and is in fact how the armor is designed to work. However with leather, overlap becomes an issue. The Basic completely eliminates that problem.

This is a sample of the basic pattern i use for all my armor. I very very very highly recommend you go with this scale pattern unless you have a really good idea of what you are doing with the scales.

All orders will be filled based upon leather availability. The prices on leather range a great deal during the year and we buy when its low, not when its high. This allows us to keep prices down. Sometimes this means a turn around of a week or two, sometimes a month. I will give you an estimated time frame when you purchase.

Paypal is preferred, and the email is kade2187@gmail.com
Payment up front required for all batches.
If using Paypal please add the 3%.








Suits of Lamellar Armor
The leather i work with is 12 - 14oz, and is first case hardened, and then acrylic hardened in a multi-step process. Please note that it is not heat hardened. The result of acrylic finishing is that each scale is very stiff, but still has some give to it individually, so when struck with a rattan they give a little instead of cracking.

Price Range:
Chest piece ranges from $300 - $500 depending on size.
Shoulders range from $100 - $200 depending on size.
Thigh / Skirt protection ranges from $200 - $300 depending on size and length.

These are some samples of the armor i offer. The pattern is something i worked up on the computer, but the pattern and shape could be altered for custom work if so desired. I can also do any color (within reason) on the scale, and any lacing color commercially available.

Most of my previous work is on my facebook page provided here:

Almost exclusively i have done work for the major boffer groups out there, dag, bel, and now i am making armor for the SCA.

If you have any questions feel free to ask

Thanks

Which of these pieces are still available? There are some people in our realm looking for some relatively cheap resources for armor, and if you've still got some of these items for sale, I'd like to pass on the link to them.

Homie, if you want to do VOLUME, get on the Armor Archive and sell this isht.

You'll be competing against plastic lam and titanium, but some people will definitely prefer leather if you make it worth their money.

So do you have an aproximate ballpark on what you would charge for scales flat rate, and/or bulk?

There are no staffs in Belegarth. Because of how they are constructed, they are really Pugil Sticks.

Re: Leather Lamellar Scales + Armor for sale

Postby Cade » Fri Jan 27, 2012 10:41 am

I am adding on a few patterns for scales that i can do now. They are all far east in origin.

First up are some Samurai scales.
These can be made in any size within reason.
Image

Second up is Chinese Mountain Scales.
These scales only work as the thinner 7-8 ounce scales, but they do fit together nicely.
Instead of doing a basket weave, consider mountain scale. Same flexibility, same weight, but looks a million times better.

Badass mountain scales. Do those only get rivetted at the top point?

Yep, just the one. The way they are put together locks them together so they don't come apart.

Adding on some Scale information.

Straight up scales, not nearly as interesting or effective as Lamellar, but there may be a market for it. Who knows.

Also, i am setting price points for scale etching.

$5.00 per batch provided the pattern is simple.

$10.00 per batch if the pattern is complex.

For etching, i will need a digital image you want etched onto the scale. I will not sit there and design it for you, i am quite simply not that good. However the internet is vast and deep. It holds a plethora of images that would work wonders on scale.
