The History and Use of Bracers

Bracers, historically known as forearm guards, weren't just for knights in shining armour. Their practical function was discovered by ancient archers to protect the inner arm from the painful slap of the bowstring upon release. However, decorated bracers like these served a dual purpose. They were often a sign of rank, affiliation with a specific group, or allegiance—much like this design symbolizes the pride and heritage of Gondor.

A Fun Fact: While most commonly associated with Medieval Europe and fantasy, similar arm guards were used by warriors and hunters across the globe, from Persian archers to Japanese samurai, where they were part of their armour known as "kote".

How to Care for Your Leather Bracers

To ensure your leather bracers last a lifetime and retain their beauty, proper care is essential. As a natural material, leather requires specific attention.

• Keep Them Dry: Never soak your bracers. If they get wet, allow them to air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
• Clean Regularly: Remove dust and dirt with a soft, dry linen or cotton cloth.
• Treat Stubborn Stains: For tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Work up a lather, gently clean the affected area, and then wipe away the excess soap with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
• Store Properly: When not in use, store your bracers in a dry, well-ventilated area.

Be Sure to Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they can permanently damage the leather, stripping its colour and destroying its texture.
