Historical Inspiration and Care

The Legacy of Mongolian Warriors

While the design of these bracers is primarily fantasy, it draws inspiration from the durable armour of Mongolian warriors. Historically, Mongol arm guards, known as naruchi, were often crafted from layered, hardened leather, sometimes reinforced with metal plates. They were an essential piece of a rider's protection, especially for a horse archer. Mongol riders were famed for their powerful composite bows, and the bracer was vital for protecting the archer's arm from the painful slap of the bowstring. This allowed them to fire arrows rapidly and without injury, which was one of their greatest tactical advantages.

Care Instructions for a Long Lifespan

To ensure your bracers last as long as possible and retain their original appearance, proper care is essential. Protect the leather from prolonged exposure to water. If the bracers get wet, allow them to air dry at room temperature—never place them on a radiator, near an open fire, or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the leather to become brittle and crack. To keep the material supple and protected, treat it occasionally with a leather balm or conditioner. Store them in a dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid storing them in an airtight plastic bag.
