Armor Measurements

When doing these measurements, don't do them extremely tight. You need to be able to put the pieces on after we send them to you. Also you should do the measurements while wearing what you plan to wear under it.

Shirts:
Chest - widest part (usually the pecs/boob area)
Biceps - widest part when you flex your arm
Length - measure from the top of the shoulder to the length you want it
Arm - measure from the shoulder joint to the length you want the sleeve to fall on you arms
Waist - armor is not very useful if it doesn't cover all the areas that need protection or makes it hard to breath

Spaulders/Pauldrons/Rerebrace: Shoulder/upper arm protection - generally metal
Shoulder - widest part around the upper biceps or shoulder area
Elbow - just above the elbow
Length - shoulder to elbow
Across - from one shoulder to the other (this is more important for people getting these made separate from a shirt as I'll connect the two pieces with a couple lengths of leather so they stay up)

Bracers: generally leather
Elbow - measure just below the elbow
Wrist - kind of explains itself
Length - from elbow measurement to wrist measurement

These are just the kinds of pieces we've made or been asked to make to date. If you have a piece of armor you're interested in having made, as long as it falls between leather and scalemaille, we'll give it a shot.
