Navarro: Interwoven Black Leather Bracers with Brass Rivets

The Navarro Bracers feature a masterfully constructed sectional design. Individual leather segments are interwoven and reinforced with brass rivets, creating a structure that naturally contours to the shape of your forearm for a superior fit. An adjustable lacing system runs along the underside, featuring reinforced brass eyelets and a durable leather cord. This allows you to easily customize the tightness, ensuring the bracers stay firmly in place whether worn over a tunic or directly on the skin.

Technical Specifications and Dimensions

Designed to fit most adults thanks to the versatile lacing system.

Historical Context

Forearm protection, known historically as vambraces, has been a staple of armour from antiquity through the Middle Ages. While knights in full plate used steel, many infantrymen, archers, and scouts relied on hardened leather. Leather offered a perfect balance of protection and mobility. Historically, layering or weaving leather was a common technique to increase the protective qualities of the material without making it rigid, effectively dampening the impact of blunted weapons or protecting an archer's arm from the snap of a bowstring.

Leather Care and Safety Guidelines

To ensure your Navarro Bracers serve you well for years to come, follow these care instructions:

• Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use to remove dust and moisture.
• Do not machine wash or soak in water.
• Apply a dedicated leather conditioner or wax occasionally to maintain flexibility and prevent cracking.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Please Note: These bracers are designed for costume, LARP, and stage use only. They are not intended for combat use or high-impact historical martial arts (such as Buhurt or HEMA). Because they are made from natural leather, slight variations in texture and tone are a mark of authenticity.
