I’ve been meaning to sew this design for ages, and finally got around to it. The pattern is well-drafted and easy to follow. I took the liberty of adding a molded skull to the crown for a bit more personality. Really happy with the result of my project from Prince Armory Academy!

I recently tackled my first leather project using a pattern from Prince Armory Academy, and I was genuinely impressed. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, resulting in a really beautiful design. I actually customized the final piece to add my own personal touch, and the patterns were flexible enough to make those modifications seamless. It made the whole process so much more enjoyable for a beginner. Highly recommend!

I just received my first set of armor from Prince Armory Academy, and I’m completely in love with it. The helmet is incredibly comfortable, especially once you follow the YouTube assembly tutorial and make a few adjustments. I also loved the practical design of the snaps, which make removing the visor a breeze. I even modified the patterns to add some custom parts for my arthropod concept. After a full season of LARPing, these pieces still hold up perfectly. Highly recommend!

First set from Prince Armory Academy. Great for display, but not built for the field. The rivets tarnish fast and the armor suffers significant wear after just a couple of weekends of LARPing. The sizing was also off—the patterns fit standard shoes but didn't accommodate boots properly, so I had to add buckles for a secure fit. I’d recommend this piece for indoor showcases or collectors, but steer clear if you plan to use it outdoors.

I’m thrilled to report that this is my second time using this pattern, and I just finished the bodice version. The results are fantastic! Prince Armory Academy did an outstanding job designing this piece, offering incredible versatility for future projects. Their commitment to sharing expertise with the community is truly appreciated. If you’re looking to learn leather armor crafting, I highly recommend this women’s leather bra pattern and its accompanying tutorial. The design allows for multiple configurations, ensuring you can find a style that fits your specific needs and aesthetic. It’s articulated for comfort and includes a specific "Bodice Only" layout for added variety. The detailed video tutorial walks you through every step, making it easy to follow along. Overall, my experience with Prince Armory Academy’s patterns has been excellent. It’s a joy to create such beautiful armor with your own hands. Highly recommended for anyone interested in leather armor making!

Working with Prince Armory Academy has always been a delight. This pattern truly opens the door to fantasy crafting, offering endless creative potential. While my first version featured a full white and gold bodice, this time I opted for a burgundy and gold design. I’m excited to experiment further and create even more unique variations using the reliable patterns provided by Prince Armory Academy.

I have been thinking about this purchase for a while. After watching Prince Armory Academy use these tools in their videos, I knew I needed them in my own collection. They are now a permanent part of my gear! I have already ordered the rods and have plenty of ideas on how to use them. This was a fantastic lesson. While the first three sections could arguably be combined, the video quality was outstanding and the instruction was top-notch. Thanks for the great content!

The pattern from Prince Armory Academy offers incredible versatility. I originally envisioned a white armor with gold accents, but opted for a more daring cut that reveals the midriff. I paired it with custom wrist straps and a belt derived from the armor’s design. The set is expanding with added tassels, shin guards, and a matching quiver. While this isn’t the full assembly yet, I plan to continue with a black counterpart to create a yin/yang set, alongside future projects like a red/gold and a Green Fairy version. Highly recommend!

I couldn't resist after spotting this design; it really captures that classic Final Fantasy essence and is definitely worth adding to your collection. The build process was straightforward and required minimal adjustments, though I did have to use a bit of intuition to figure out specific steps by thinking through the creator's intended logic. Ultimately, it’s a true masterpiece.
