Let’s craft something epic together
Hi, I’m Leonardo 👋
Yes, like Leonardo da Vinci… but with more leather and fewer frescoes.
I’m the founder and maker behind OutcastProps, and I’ve been crafting leather gear for LARP, cosplay, reenactment, and fantasy worlds for over 20 years 🛡️🖤
I grew up in Spain, shaped by very different places and energies. I was born in Castilla-La Mancha, yes, the land of Don Quijote, where things are serious, grounded, and tradition matters. Then I moved south to study Fine Arts in Granada, a city of mixed cultures, light, history, and beauty. Later, life took me north to Barcelona, a vibrant, modern, and deeply creative city where I finally settled and fell in love, both with the city and with the idea of building my own workshop.
That mix defines me.
Always changing.
Tradition and experimentation.
Discipline and a bit of mischief ✨
I’ve always been curious, adaptive, and obsessed with learning. I keep what works, question what doesn’t, and I’m never afraid of evolving.
My relationship with leather started the way many LARP stories begin: no money, lots of imagination ⚔️
Back when we were young, we made weapons and armor out of cardboard, duct tape, and whatever we could find. It was… dangerous, honestly. So I decided to start making my own gear. First for myself, then for friends, and before I knew it, I realized this could be more than a hobby.
What really pushed me forward was cinema 🎬
I’ve always loved films, and I also studied audiovisual arts. When I looked at leather armor back then, everything felt too new, too clean, too perfect. I wanted texture. I wanted history. I wanted pieces that looked like they had already lived a thousand adventures.
So I began developing aging and weathering techniques inspired by the film industry. Using inks, oils, sanding, airbrushing, tooling, and a lot of trial and error, I learned how to make leather tell a story. Today these techniques are more common, but when I started, very few people were doing anything like this. We’re proud to say we were among the pioneers.
OutcastProps is not just me anymore.
There was a moment when I needed help to fulfill all the orders, so I started to recruit. Like a ship, a workshop is always a reflection of the people behind it 🚢
I’m lucky to be surrounded by a crew of talented artisans who bring their own skills, ideas, and experience. Together, we share the same mindset: professional, approachable, a little bit rebellious, and deeply committed to quality.
We test our own gear.
We listen to our customers.
And we’re constantly improving.
We don’t mass-produce.
We don’t rush craftsmanship.
Every piece is made with intention, care, and respect for the material 🤲
If you’re looking for leather gear with character, cinematic finishes, and real soul behind it, you’re in the right place.
Welcome to OutcastProps.
