Custom leather arm bracers are always welcome additions to costumes that celebrate the warrior characters we choose to emulate, and while many do have specific details we need to follow to cosplay and copy; others, like the ones I show here are simply meant to show what is possible. Sturdier and more permanent than the foam or plastic alternatives, leather arm bracers can add a layer of forearm protection in light combat or archery. These small demi-size bracers, intended for youths or small adults, that celebrate the celestial probably are more statement than protection. The central element is a painted royal blue scalloped leather concho stamped with the Man in the Moon and stars (highlighted with silver, and overlaid with translucent black) that is stitched onto a wider diagonal strip that is likewise painted royal blue ombre that fades to navy blue, textured with sunburst border and stars stamping, gunmetal rivets and sewn on metallic celestial and pentacle elements: a stripe that travels top corner to opposite bottom corner. Each piece was dyed saddle tan above the stripe and dark brown below. The whole project, very small shield shapes of 7-8 oz veg tan leather, is finished all around with a 1/4” black edge and the interior is lined with glued on black suede cloth before it was wet-formed into its final curved configuration. It is laced criss-cross with black corset lacing thru six grommet finished holes that adjust to fit a variety of smaller arms. Size: 6” L from apex to wrist , tapering to 4” L curved sides and 6-1/8” W.
