Forge your own path to the lists.
This full-scale armour pattern set is designed for Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) fighters who want lightweight, affordable, and fully functional protection — without needing a forge or a fortune.
Created by The New Appalachian Workshop, this kit provides everything you need to cut, shape, and lace your own battle-ready sport armour from polyethylene plastic barrels or sheet stock. Perfect for new fighters, practice armour, or those who simply prefer to craft their own gear by hand.
Full-size printable templates for:
Breastplate
Pauldrons (shoulders)
Cuisses (thighs)
Vambraces & Elbow Cops
Fabrication & Assembly Instructions — clear, illustrated steps
Sizing Recommendations and modification notes
Tool & Supply List optimized for common workshop tools
Not included: gorget (neck protection) and gauntlets.
This pattern was engineered to balance maneuverability and protection, with articulated plates that flex naturally with the fighter’s body. Every plate is designed to be cut from recycled barrels or flat plastic sheet and formed using heat and water, giving you a lightweight alternative to traditional metal without compromising safety or style.
