...the fuck can i find some leather bracers with inscription of them? That covers most of forearm... I search ebay,nothing! The net,nothing! HEEEELLPPPPPP!
 
It's not really all that hard to make them yourself. You should be able to find tools and all you need at places that sell leather. They can maybe even give you some tips on how to make them...

When I made mine, I took messurements of my underarms, drew a "blue-print" on paper. Then I made a pattern on the "blue-print" and transferd it to the leather by carbonpaper (all very primitive).

I bought a special knife, and carved the pattern in there, but there is also a technique where you pound the patterns into the leather with a hammer and what can be described as a chisel.

I think it's tough to find bracers to buy. I doubt a lot of people make them, and most bracers for sale are bracers with spikes and stuff...

Otherwise I remember finding a web-site where you could buy replikas of the Bracers worn by Viggo Mortensen when he played Aragorn in The Lord of the Ring Movies... I even think that was an american company... but maybe that's no fun... doesn't really matter now, 'cause I don't remember what the site was called...
 
Hm... there's a Ren. Faire in Woodstock here in Connecticut that had some pretty cool enbroidered bracers last year. I might be able to find the website of that company for you, but the stuff was really expensive.

What I meant to say is that most bracers for sale doesn't have patterns. They are either plain or spiked or something...

Barbagay (to the right) is one of three now living swedish who can tell the difference between Johan Hegg and Rolle Stoltz.
 
OK, dude, you have obviously never seen my brother play hockey!!! I have, and trust me, Rolle would roll over in his grave...LOL (Oooooh, now I am being a very, very nice sister, Johan, cause I could tell very many very embarrassing stories about your hockey carreer in this spot!) I do like the pic, though!
Johan made his own bracers. If you can't do that, try a leather store (like where they make belts and chaps etc.) or, like suggested above, Ren. faire and SCA events.
 
I've made my own bracers as well, I can't go out the fucking door without any bracers (would give a new defintion to the word USE PROTECTION hah) but I have like 8 pairs, some I bought. There's this bad ass old hippie who owns a leatherstore in Helsingborg who makes them and he's very reliable. As my aunt said, "ja han röker väl sitt brass då och då men inget tyngre missbruk"

i think i will make my own aswell, i feel as if it is a part of me that is missing
 
I never found what i want on ebay anyway :D The problem is that i got a specific idea of what i want. For example i dont want black leather i want brownish leather. Everything on ebay is black! I dont want metal stud or spike or whatever on them either,just leather. I also want some kind of design on them wether its a drawing or something else. I figure it would be simpler to just have a couple of runes engraved in them or maybe put all the runes in small on them in a "fashionable" logistical kinda way. Anyway!
