Medieval Leather Bracers ? Handcrafted Forearm Armour

"A warrior's forearms take the brunt of every drill and clash; guard them with honest hide," Osric, Keeper of the Hearth & Forge.

Handcrafted from genuine leather spanning 2.8 to 3 mm in thickness, these bracers provide the structural rigidity needed to maintain their form across prolonged campaign service. Designed to withstand the rigours of historical reenactment, living history camps, and LARP skirmishes, the thick leather delivers dependable forearm defence while remaining comfortable through hours of continuous wear. The natural grain and surface texture lend an authentic, period-worthy appearance, with edges carefully smoothed and finished to protect your skin from chafing during hard exertion.

Fastening is managed through traditional leather lacing, utilising stout cords that ensure an adaptable fit across a wide range of adult arm sizes. This simple system permits swift donning and adjustment whether worn directly over bare skin, a linen tunic, or a padded gambeson.

The plain, unworked exterior serves as an adaptable canvas for your martial identity. Reenactors can readily dye, paint, or emboss the hide with company sigils, guild crests, or personal heraldry. Available in both black and brown, these bracers integrate seamlessly with full armour harnesses. To maintain the leather's temper, wipe away grime with a damp cloth after use, condition periodically with leather balm or oil, and store in a cool, dry garrison locker away from direct sunlight.
