100 pieces for Polar Bear Forge Compatible #5b Lamellar D-Plates

Add to the armor you already know and like. Our Polar Bear Forge 5b-compatible D-plates let you repair or expand your lamellar, whether it's part of an SCA kit, a LARP costume or a new project using the same pattern.

We make these replacement plates here at Live Oak Workshop from the 5b pattern shown in our drawing.

Quality in every plate

• Industrial laser precision. Every plate is cut on an industrial laser for consistent geometry and clean edges with micron level precision.
• Thorough tumble finishing. Plates are media tumbled to smooth cut edges, round corners, and create a clean matte finish.
• Final quality control. We check every plate by hand as we pack them making sure only the best make it to you. 
• A little extra. We always pack a few extra pieces per 100 just to make sure. If for some reason a plate or two make it through QC, don't worry you got more than you ordered in your shipment. 

The 5b pattern

100 plates per pack. Each plate measures 3.35 inches tall by about 0.875 inch wide.

Pick your material

• 304 stainless steel: 1.2 mm / 0.048 inch.
• Heat-treated 410 stainless steel: 1.0 mm / 0.040 inch.
• 6061-T6 aluminum: 1.6 mm / 0.063 inch.

Aluminum is the lightest option. Our 410 stainless is hardened and tempered, with a tumble before heat treatment and another afterward. It can have a darker finish that varies from batch to batch.

For combat builds, choose your material and construction to suit your group's armor rules.

Check your existing plates

Compare one of your plates with the drawing before you order. The outline, size and lacing holes should all line up with the pattern you are using.

You can find more replacement patterns in our Compatible Lamellar collection. If the original maker still offers the plates you need, we encourage you to support them.
