Show your subarmalis!
#90
Inspired by Rado's and Steve's leather Subarmalis I put my hand to making one myself this week. I used a vest as a pattern and traced it on veg tan leather. After hemming all the edges I used safety pins to check fit. Unfortunately while it fit around my neck I couldn't get my head through the hole once it was put together(lesson learned) . So to compensate for this I added a lynothorax style adjustable shoulder with the padding built in. This shoulder pad is laced to the back of the "vest" but adjustable on the chest. This actually worked really well for adjusting fit and it can be removed completely since it is laced. I think I will also change the side lacing loops so it can be tied a bit tighter around the waist. I tried it on with my lorica segmentata and it feels great although a bit stiff. I think the more it gets used the better it will get.
