Our Signature: Film-Industry Aging Techniques
What sets OutcastProps apart is our cinematic aging and weathering techniques inspired by the film industry. With over 20 years of experience, we pioneered the art of creating leather armor that tells a story from the moment you see it.
When we started in 2005, most leather armor looked brand new—perfectly brown with no character. We wanted something different. Drawing inspiration from film prop departments, we developed specialized aging methods using inks, oils, sanding, airbrushing, hand-tooling, and custom finishing techniques.
The result? Premium vegetable-tanned leather transformed into pieces that look like they've survived epic battles and legendary quests. Every scratch, worn edge, and weathered detail is intentionally crafted to give your gear authentic character. These finishing techniques are artisan secrets we've refined over two decades.
Who We Serve
Our handcrafted pieces are designed for:
- LARP Players: Durable, comfortable armor that looks authentic in medieval and fantasy settings
- Cosplayers: Screen-accurate props and armor for characters from fantasy, medieval, and pop culture
- Renaissance Faire Enthusiasts: Period-appropriate leather goods with historical accuracy and style
- Historical Reenactors: Functional armor and accessories for authentic reenactment events
- Collectors: Display-quality fantasy props and wearable leather art
Our Craftsmanship Process
Master Leatherwork for Armor
We achieve shapes, textures and finishes worthy of a cinematic masterpiece. Each piece of leather armor is carefully tooled, embossed, and shaped using traditional leatherworking techniques combined with modern innovation. Our armor balances beauty with functionality—designed to be worn, not just displayed.
Delicate and Elegant Pieces
Our signature floral and botanical motifs require meticulous attention to detail and hours of patient craftsmanship. We bring light and shadow from leather through careful tooling and finishing, creating pieces that are as beautiful as they are functional.
Versatile Artistry
We blend styles, techniques and materials to match the soul of every creation. From premium vegetable-tanned leather to resin, wood, and metal accents, we combine materials thoughtfully to bring your fantasy vision to life with authenticity.
Film-Inspired Finishing Techniques
We use different finishing styles depending on each piece's character. Like metalwork, every finish has its own unique personality. Our cinematic aging process transforms new leather into pieces that look like they've survived epic battles and adventures—perfect for immersive LARP, cosplay, and reenactment experiences.

🎨 Do you make custom pieces?
Yes! We love bringing unique visions to life. Here's how customization works:
Simple Customizations:
- Leather color variations
- Hardware finish (nickel, brass, antique, etc.)
- Minor design modifications
Additional cost based on complexity and time required.
Size Adjustments:
Larger or smaller than standard sizes require pattern modifications. For embossed pieces, custom-sized stencils may be needed. We'll provide a detailed quote including all necessary adjustments.
Fully Custom Designs:
We carefully evaluate custom commission requests. Because design and pattern development requires significant artisan time, we focus on projects that have potential to serve other customers in the future. This allows us to offer fair pricing while maintaining our quality standards.
Very specific one-off designs that can't be adapted for our broader catalog typically aren't feasible for our workshop model.
Custom Order Details:
- Custom pieces have specific production timelines
- Discount codes don't apply to custom work
- Our pricing reflects 20+ years of artisan expertise and premium materials
Ready to discuss your custom project? Email us at outcastprops@gmail.com with reference images and your deadline.
🛠️ What materials do you use?
We work with premium quality leather from animals raised for human consumption, including cow, rabbit, and goat leather. We also use genuine leather cords, quality metal hardware (brass, nickel, antique finishes), and resin for select decorative pieces.
All our pieces are meticulously hand-painted. Our specific aging and finishing techniques are artisan trade secrets developed over two decades of experimentation and refinement.
🧴 How do I care for my leather products?
Proper care ensures your OutcastProps pieces last for years of adventures. We've created a comprehensive care guide on our blog covering cleaning, conditioning, storage, and maintenance.

🌍 Do you ship internationally?
Absolutely! We ship worldwide from our Barcelona workshop. Over 20 years, we've sent our handcrafted pieces to LARP players, cosplayers, and collectors on every continent.
📏 What about sizing?
We use European standard sizing as our base. If you need very small or very large sizes, please contact us before ordering—we're happy to discuss options.
For Armor Pieces:
Accurate measurements are essential for a perfect fit. For breastplates, we need both shoulder width and belly circumference (not just your height). Different body types require different considerations.
Need help with measurements? Don't hesitate to ask! We're here to guide you through the process to ensure your armor fits comfortably and looks amazing. Reach out at outcastprops@gmail.com with any questions—we'd rather help you get it right the first time.
