This listing is for a set of lower arm armor with integrated elbow armor, called "bazuband"
Each set is made out of 8 - 10 ounce latigo cowhide. '
You have the option of 1 or 2 layers. The 2 layer option has an overlay stitched onto the elbow section for added protection.
They are closed via two buckled straps, and can be impregnated with wax to make them much tougher, which makes them legal armor for heavy combat in many martial arts groups.
The wax impregnation does darken the leather, so bear that in mind when ordering. As an example, the burgundy vambraces in the photos are the same pair, before and after being waxed.
The straps and overlay will generally be made of the same color leather as the main body of the armor, if you'd like contrasting straps, let me know and I'll set it up for you at no extra charge.
When ordering, include a measurement of the length of your arm from your wrist to your elbow, as well as the circumference of your arm at both ends of the length measurement.
Note* If measurements are given the goal will be to have the edges of the vambraces meet flush around your arm. If you would like them to overlap, or are planning on wearing padding underneath, be sure to factor that into your measurements.
As always, customization is available. Feel free to message me for details.

Please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
We now have a section of in stock items! Everything in this section is available, and will ship within 1-2 business days.
Our items are all made by hand. We do not mass produce anything, and every item has been designed, tested, and created by us. A lot of time and effort has gone into every item we offer, and we do our best to make sure that everything that leaves our shop lives up to our standards and hopefully yours.
We only offer a few different sheath options, but we operate out of a large brick & mortar cutlery store, so there's a chance we have the knife you're looking for. Contact us to set up a custom order.
All of our belt holsters meet IDPA regulations, but our shoulder holsters do not.
To put in bluntly, if your leather sheath does what it's supposed to do, you shouldn't need to put a different sheath inside of it. Our leather sheaths function very well being made out of leather, and our kydex sheaths work very well without a leather lining.
No. Each item is for the sheath/scabbard/holster itself, no knives, swords, or guns are included with any purchase.

Awesome. Fully functional. Did not need to add the half inch though since only going over ring mesh chain mail.

Horrible, save your money and go somewhere else. My orders measurements were off and unsafe, I sent it back, he sends me something of very inferior quality as a replacement, it too is unsafe to use. I challenge him on etsy he promised something better to fix the problem and yet again it is poorly made and doesn't fit right, I will never go through him again he's a crooked business man and if you complain about his product he falls back on his return policy. Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else.
