CoP - Odd Question

Post by Halvgrimr »

ok here goes

i have the leather to do a CoP that i am going to wear under my tunic. (i am early period and tired of wearing an undocumentable leather lamellar vest, the CoP would be hidden so i can deal with it)

as i wear a high Kidney belt under my tunic also this wont need to be full length, think sports bra type thing (on second thought dont picture a big fat guy in a sports bra, you might go blind Image


if i supply the measurements, the leather, the shipping is there any one interested in making just the leather coat?

how much might such a project cost me?
how much more to do a normal length coat?

i know it would be easy enough to do this myself but i have to many other projects going to start another one plus i have some nice leather and dont want to screw it up and i suck at making clothes so i was hoping someone else might be interested in helping me out Image

(i am also xposting this to the want adds board)

Replied to on classifieds board.

Another option though. I could size and print off the full size pattern for you and mail it to you. As long as you don't have a chest bigger then about 64" I can print it full size. For about $15 plus shipping. Then all you'd have to do is cut the pattern out. Trace it onto the leather and cut the leather out.

It's a full length pattern. If you want to make it a shorty then just cut the bottom off.
