Process of my avatar armor

My concept, materials and techniques:

My avatar armor's inspiration is Neo from Matrix. I want to make a garment like his personality--two different  personality from day and night. So, I choose two different materials- metal sheets and leather. 

Before I made this sleeve, I just thought that roll the leather can get effect like this, but the real world is not that easy.

So, I tried to use something harder to structure it. I put thick wires in the both edges of the leather , and sew them in the fabric. Because of the wire, the sleeves could finally stand up, and have strong structure.

It's like a little challenge for me , but it's great that I figure it out.

 I used metal sheets to make an "armor-feeling" shoulders. It was not that easy, but luckily I learnt some techniques from "space" class. I used workshop machine to cut pieces of metal sheets, and drill holes on them. Last, I used screw to connect them together.
