That is a very interesting resource..... but please keep in mind, most of what i do is compleetly from scratch as i dont have much money for supplies. I will often recycle what i can to make things..... they turn out quite well, but now the big thing is how to make my own rivets. Lol do you have an exact link?

Yep - try this: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=the+armour+archive+forum

Then do a search for 'brigadine rivets'.

:D

And, once again, there are suggestions above in Jon's post - copper roofing nails or galvanised clouts. Cut to length. Rivet to plate. Don't use a washer. If you're wanting to make your own, that's pretty much it!

Hi there,

Making brig for the first time and pretty sure I understand the process, particularly the fabric work, but the problem is there are several of us needing harness, male and female. :eek:

If I already have a pattern (and I do), how do I go about adjusting that up for a range of sizes and two genders? Truly stumped.

Please help.

Cheers,

T.
