Introducing The “Ulfrik” Body Armour Set
This one has been built very deliberately to give you more to work with.
New panel shapes, new tooling flow, and a structure you can break apart and reuse across your own builds.

I have to say… I haven’t felt this excited about a design for years.
And as a designer… that challenge never really goes away.…
Pushing the limits… staying original… trying to create something that feels genuinely different ... while still keeping that balance.
Because armour has to work...
It has to move. It has to protect. It has to carry presence… and at the same time reflect the skill behind it.
But never to the point where it becomes so overcomplicated that it never gets finished.
With Ulfrik, the aim was simple…
To create a statement piece that actually lives up to its name...
Something that feels strong… carries presence… and brings the leather to life.
Rather than just something pretty to look at…
But something that’s made to be worn...whatever field you step onto.

Why Thousands of Students Keep Coming Back to the Black Raven Academy
Over the past 10 years, more than 10,000 students have built their projects using Black Raven patterns...
... And If you’ve worked through any of my designs before… you already know how these are put together.
Clear structure, clean layouts, and patterns that are designed to actually build the piece as shown.
Everything is built with the same approach, so once you understand one, the next one becomes even easier to work with.
That’s why many students end up building through multiple designs…
Because each one adds something new, while still fitting into a system you’re already familiar with...

NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Alex Agricola
When I started out, there was no internet, so I was reliant on books and hands on experimentation to develop my skills.
20+ years & thousands of projects on, and it’s still surprisingly difficult to find detailed information on leatherwork for armour & costumes... And I guess this is very much a part of WHY I wanted to share my learning with you.
Ask any of my students... From Day 1, you have me personally on tap to ask anything !! No matter the question, if its in my power to guide you, I will.
