About this mod

retextured, recoloured and ornamented leather armor replacer

Permissions and credits
Notice
======
This leather armor is based on the vanilla. I have reworked and recouloured all parts ti make it better to my opinion.

- Deep red, black and white lether armor
- chainmail skirt and shirt below the leather
- Some Celtic knotworks have been added engraved in leather
- Buckle have been slightly changed, added a gem
- metal plates have been added to strengthen the armor

NOTE : I really don't like the helmet so I recommend using a circlet with a mod like
No helmet required by ClassicalNoodle
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2460
or using the helmet with amod like
NoHelmetMod by Vuradic
http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=562
perhaps will I rework the helmet myself if I got nothing else to do.

NOTE 2 : There is no nudity in this mod but a part of the breast can be seen trough the chainmail

Optionnal file
============
A friend of mine have read NeithanDiniem comment said : "great idea, do it"
...
Ok it's done... so
- All metal parts have been darkened to set the armor less shiny
- the Buckle have been redone with a knotwork

Note : As the mesh files are not in this upload, you have to get the main file first then overwrite the texture files in NMM or manually

Will I thank Neithan for aditionnal work ? well... humph, yes

George Bain (1881–1968) : I first haved learn Knotworks in his books
NeithanDiniem and Iseria for the optionnal file
To all the moddders for their efforts and works

About Celtic Interlacing
=====================
I use a simple knotwork for my character as heraldry has to be simple in the early middle age to be easily recognizable on the battlefield.
I don't remember where I have seen this one first... As it's a very common knotwork, probably in
Bain's family books, or in manuscript... elsewhere ? I really don't know.
The only thing I know : although I have drawn on illustrator I'm surely not the original designer
