Does anyone know where I can purchase leather robes? I've seen ones like this:

The 4th image in the leather robes area.

But I really can't find anywhere selling anything like it. Does anyone know any good vendors who might sell anything similar? I'd also be interested in a studded leather verson of something like that too.

I don't know where you'd buy them, but Katy/Batfink wears a poncho/tunic sort of thing in the patchwork style of some of those, and could probably tell you how she did it.

I know a couple of people who will make kit on commission, but I'm not sure how busy they are presently, or how much they'd charge. If you want, I can PM you their contact details.

Yeah, I was more after something like the 4th picture, single colour leather, not patchwork, but I'll have a chat with her. Any contact details would be good though

A lot of the standard places also do custom work on commission, so it's worth checking with them.

I don't know if the guy who did Nic's armour would also do soft leather work, but it's worth checking...

The fella who made my armour is a) ace and b) amazingly accomodating for custom builds (see my corset in all its wonder!). Explain to him the sort of thing you are looking for, maybe send a picture and he will make it sooooo much better than you could have hoped for!

PM me, and I can pass on contact details . Oh, and tell him I sent you... It might get me a better price for anything I may buy in the future
