My latest project. A chainmaile/leather hybrid pauldron. Thansk to Eldrin for the inspiration.

What's up with the pennies? I mean, nothing about a penny is period and a real cockbag would fail your armor for that.

Looks great I didn't know you did chain. Are the rings on the end of the sleeve gold? I can't quite tell.

They are copper rivets. I put the circle of silver ring around the diamond, before I attached the chain. When I went ot attach the chain, I realized the copper rivets would through the circle off. So I just made a circle of copper rivets to keep the look. The copper rivets are what are holding the chain and leather together.
Deamos, I have not actually made chainmalie since high school. That is one of the sleaves we removed from Alo/khyns chain shirt.

Interesting work, Orrin. How well does it function on the field?

Interesting work, Orrin. How well does it function on the field? I have yet to wear it on the field. Been having low turn outs, so I have not bothered wearing any armor. Plus my breast plate has been being baby sat by Raslin for a while now.
