Leather Cuirass Lorica Musculata, I used to think no way but
This Leather Muscled Cuirass I had made for me by a Spanish Leather Art tanner.

It was sent to me without the ornaments. I had to affix them to the Cuirass myself.

I confess that to actually pierce the leather I had to apply much pressure to the ice pick type tool. As not to damage or hurt my hand due the intense pressure I had to use to open each hole needed to attach the ornaments, I ended up using an electric drill.



Attached are the photos of the leather cuirass. I hope that these photos come through, it has been a long time since I last posted photos.

This was the model that I used for the Leather Tanner to follow. A roman legion Camp Prefect.
