Bracers & Pauldrons

 

 

Bracers

Bracers are probably the most common form of armor you will see at Faires, LARP or SCA events.  While seeing bracers at these events are common, you can stand out from the rest by personalizing your own pair with the help of Valhalla Leathercraft (“VL”).

 

The following are examples of some of the bracers that have been produced by VL.  To customize your own pair, choose from the many shapes below or supply us with your own idea for the shape.  Then, choose a pattern or design from the samples below or supply us with your own artwork.  After that, let us know the color combination for your piece.

 

If this seems too complicated, simply email us and we will walk you through the process.

We are sure that you will love the result and be the talk of the event.
