Description
SOLD OUT
This set of lower arm armor, known as vambraces, is crafted from two layers of thick, hardened leather, forming a tough shield against slicing strikes. Riveted firmly to the leather are plates of antiqued steel, shaped and arranged in patterns that strengthen the armor while echoing the styles favored by medieval armorers. Such construction combines the resilience of steel with the flexibility of leather, making these vambraces effective at guarding against draw cuts without sacrificing mobility. The rivets and layering reflect methods passed down through generations, where blacksmith and leatherworker worked hand in hand to protect warriors in the heat of battle.

Fun fact: In medieval times, leather and steel vambraces were often preferred by archers and light infantry because they balanced protection with flexibility, allowing for greater freedom of movement during battle.
