Very nice! What ounce leather do you use? I've tried leather bracers before but had to abandon them becuase the leather was so thick and stiff they never felt comfortable on my wrists and started chafing.

Do you take measurements of someone's arm before you make a pair?

I can measure your arm but you can do it too...Measure at the wrist with a peice of string, and at the thickest part of your forearm and then measure the strings. Anything the is chaffing can be suede lined to make it real nice and soft.. it costs more, but to some its worth it. I am using 8-12oz leather and if its too thick I thin it with thinning tools. I use what is commonly called Saddle Skirting. But if it fits right, it shouldnt be too uncomfortable.

There are a few things you can do to help with softening the leather too. We can talk about that when next we meet...

thanks again for your kind words..

I just picked up Eric's bracers. They are very high quality and well made. He loved them! If any one is looking for quality leather work at the best price, I would recommend him. Before he wises up and starts charging more! Plus support your local armorsmith! We could be the most awesome dressed chapter around! I will be ordering more.
