Support the channel with some Merch: zac-evans-jouster.myspreadshop.co.uk/allBarbarian Archer ArmourZac Evans2024-07-18 | One of the things I'm enjoying about #empirelarp prep is making costumes with a bit more free reign than reenacting. This is a simple "archer" armour made with 4mm veg tan #leather. If I need to, I will be able to wear this when playing an orc, with the leather mantle there to hide the mask join, as well as look pretty cool.
