The Armour Archive

I finished these up a while ago, but am just now getting around to listing them. They are made from 1/4" thick water hardened leather and have been coated with neutral shoe polish and then buffed for a bit of a shine.These are not perfect, so I will list some of the defects:

Just a few notes on this pair:

I did these a little differrently than the last pair by marking and drilling the holes in the pieces before they were shaped. What resulted was mis aligned holes, so some of the lames have extra holes drilled in them in an attempt to correct the wopper jawed - ness of the alignment.

When I was drying these in the oven, I layed the cop face down on the cookie sheet, and it ended up causing a flat spot in each cop, and also caused some light cracks in the middle of those spots (nothing deep, just surface).

And lastly, I had riveted the original straps to the bottom lame of one of the spaulders when I decided the hole alignment wasn't going to work. While attempting to cut the leather strap off, I accidentally sliced into the lame. The cut goes about 1/4 of the way into the thickness of the leather (the leather is 1/4" thick, so it's about 1/16" deep).

Improvements to these are I did a better dye job on them, I dyed the inside, I slicked the edges, I used thicker leather for the arm straps, and I made the buckle straps better than last time (last time the slot for the buckle was too big and the buckle slopped around inside the strap).

EDIT: These are $35 plus shipping.

Heya Steve, how are you? I was just thinking of emailing you the other day to find out how everything was going. I hope everything is going well!

If you want these, I will go ahead and put them in the mail tomorrow. Same address, right?

Thanks,
Cat

Yup same addy.

Allrighty, I will mail these out tomorrow and email you with the info.

Thanks!
Cat

well once again I have misplaced your paypal addy to send cash to. In fact where is my three yr old? man I gotta get organized!

LOL! I wouldn't worry too much about finding the 3 year old. Pretty soon you will hear something break or come crashing to the floor and you will know where he is.

My Paypal addy has changed, so finding the old one won't do you any good anyway. I hope this new one works - it hasn't been tried out yet.

I've got them all boxed up, and am just waiting on the laundry to get done so I can go to the Post Office. Since I figured clothes are kinda important if you're going out in public, I had better wait until it gets done.

And here I thought you were going to wash teh spaulders for me Paypal on its way my dear Cat.

Nope, sorry. I got my own laundry to do. You can wash your own spaulders.

They are on their way! Email sent.

Thanks again!
