Thanks!

[@dylandurham7231]

I love the idea of leather kits like this, I hope more are added eventually!

[@Princearmory]

We would definitely like to!

[@Darkeklaw]

I shared this video on my Facebook to help get you some more attention. I love your armor tutorials

Awesome helmet :)

[@Princearmory]

Thank you!

[@corrpendragon]

Loving the idea of leather kits! Removes all of the difficulty of cutting out patterns and lining up holes, but allows for infinite customization. Love it!

[@Princearmory]

Yeah I'm hoping this inspires more people to give leathercrafting a try!

[@corrpendragon]

@@Princearmory This sounds like a great path, and absolutely a niche in the market! Very excited!

Just watched Bjorn on punished props and got the link to here….Awseome

[@terrijohnson6009]

That was awesome! Thank you very much for the tutorial ❤️

where do you get your edge groover?

Weaver

[@jestmythoughts675]

Very interesting. A few questions: Why rivets over sewing? Is sewing generally reserves for straight or layered attachments and curved for rivets? Also why didn't you dye the interior of the helmet?

[@rampanttricky17]

You can sew shaped and curved objects. It is done all the time - belt bag, holster, knife sheath, .... I think they are going with rivets for the look (primarily) and because they want to make the kit seem to be easy to finish.

[@jefflemmer1855]

Sewing can and is done often. However. You need a special sewing machine to do leather. Normal ones aren’t strong enough. Also, hand sewing suckkkkks on the hands. Rivets enhance the look. Now for the interior. You could dye it if you want. But who’s gunna be looking at the inside while you are wearing? Also in the off chance you get dye bleed…that bleed off would on the inside.

[@nyetloki]

The rivets are for looks, making it look like metal. You can use stitching just as easily, if the pattern was made for it. Look at the skull baseball leather project as an example.

[@Princearmory]

I can be sewn if you prefer but I think riveting is easier and more approachable for new leather crafters. I didn't dye the interior so people know that it is an option. For a square one beginner project it is probably best if they don't so they don't have to worry about sealing it properly (and dye bleeding if not)

[@NoahWestover-xj2og]

Where’s the video about finishes? The vid said you’d leave a link

[@arcaciustrell8756]

Absolutely awesome. I already would like to purchase it, however What is its size? I don't see it on its page and I have a big old head. I don't want to spend $80+S&H for it to not fit.

[@Princearmory]

Should fit roughly 22.5", give or take a little depending on how you shape it. If the response is good I'm sure additional sizes will be added.

[@rampanttricky17]

As it is it is not set up to wear while moving or turning ones head. It looks like it is (only) designed/practical for display. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6WyZ2eQd71koLc

[@bradleycannncreate9461]

so cool! I am going to go buy the kit from weaver. Do you plan on making more kits with them in the futures so I can have a full set??

[@Executed38]

Whoa! That’s so cool! I’ve always wanted to try leatherwork. Where can you get these kits from?

[@GregoryHaynes]

I think they're offered by Weaver Leather Supply.

[@Princearmory]

Yeah, link in the description now

[@Executed38]

Cool thanks 😊

[@stevenblakeakahashburns]

At 6:40 could you wet it again to do more shaping?

[@wolfyeetnickked3226]

Do u ship to UK 🇬🇧 I want this iv tried a lil leather work but I'm not that good and wasted alot so this is perfect to begin with

[@novascotiahomesteading455]

Is this a one size fits all kit, I see no size options. I have a big noggin lol

[@nyetloki]

Why not send a 3x3 square or scrap so they can test dye without using the kit pieces?

[@Princearmory]

Oh I have no doubt at all that if you ask them for a piece of scrap to accompany a kit they would not hesitate to do so.

[@alexgaa]

Just wondering what is the scale for this size ? I bought the template and the print version fits on a letter size paper, thanks

[@innyroze]

это шлем для гачи игр? шикарно!

[@kysonsutfin5529]

Is this 10 oz or 8?

[@thatenfieldguyaus4564]

Wondering where the kits are to order

[@Princearmory]

The link is in the description now, thanks!

[@dobby618]

where can these kits be bought from, ive checked your website and there's no links to anything resembling a kit, only digital downloads.

[@nyetloki]

Weaver Leather.

[@Princearmory]

The kits are at Weaver, link in the description now.

[@fritz1990]

Would love to commission you to build a full set of leather armor.

[@Princearmory]

The window is closing on that soon, we're phasing out our custom projects before long but you can check out www.princearmory.com for info on custom creations.

[@fritz1990]

@@Princearmory all I can say is two ounces of gold for the commission.. I don't play games or fade on deals. Old elf here.dont have any other way to contact you.

[@chrisconnors8513]

Amazing kit! Too bad I can't enter the giveaway

[@Princearmory]

Sorry to hear that. The kits are available now on Weaver's site if you're interested

[@rolandmeyer8644]

Das ist nicht DiY, sondern ein Bausatz zusammengesetzt! Gewisse Fertigkeiten braucht man zwar, aber das ist definitiv nicht selbstgemacht!!! 🤔

[@sejembalm]

This is a very interesting project! I hope you make a leather version of actual medieval plate harness without outlandish decoration and just basic coloring (no blotchy antiquing). A simplified project that shows how leather can imitate historical armor. Good luck!

[@Princearmory]

Wait and see

[@patriciafowler8710]

What a great project

[@the_chomper]

9 days later and they dont even sell it anymore LAME.

[@Princearmory]

These kits are fulfilled by Weaver, link in the description : )

[@GregoryHaynes]

I'm SO glad to see a new Prince Armory how-to video!! And the introduction of a Prince Armory helmet kit is awesome!

[@Princearmory]

So much more in the pipeline, stay tuned!

[@SinfulSkinsLeather]

Just to play devils advocate here, are you afraid of backlash if weaver starts to slip on the quality leather they use on the kit pieces? Or If they decide to "make their own line" of products similar to yours?

[@Princearmory]

I was a long time customer of Weaver before I was a collaborator, they won't skimp on quality. And Weaver already has patterns and things they make, this is just one new direction for them that hopefully opens the doors to new leathercrafters that might not be interested in conventional leathercraft like saddles and wallets and such.

[@SinfulSkinsLeather]

@@Princearmory understood!

[@gibbsgaming769]

can you plz make a samurai chest peace!

[@Princearmory]

Almost certainly there will be a samuria inspired design coming at some point.

[@ALMAUT11]

can it resist a bullet

[@Muljinn]

A leather helmet *might* help protect against a grazing or glancing shot but any direct impact is going right through. It’s leather, not a ballistic fabric like Kevlar.

[@jreese46]

Can this be hot water hardened, after assembly, dried on a wig head or something similar?

[@Princearmory]

yes but just follow my instructions in the videos and you'll be shocked at how hard the leather gets from those processes.

[@jreese46]
