About Prince Armory
Prince Armory is a design and fabrication studio in the Houston, Texas area creating highly ornate hero suits and other artistic creations. We offer custom armor, personalized costume and prop designs for film, television, theatrical productions, cosplay, larp and serious collectors.
What We Make
Our best-known creations are custom leather armor designs and medieval superhero spin-offs, but we also offer fine handcrafted weapons, props, costumes, and other leather items on a case by case basis. All creations are made per a limited custom commission basis and we do not have items available for sale or rental.
The Academy
In 2019, the Prince Armory Academy was created to begin teaching our craft to aspiring leather workers, cosplayers, and armor makers. We offer tutorials, armor templates and other patterns, and premium courses that will reveal the secrets of leather crafting and armor making. Learn how to build your own armor and accessories!
Our Mission
