Description
These vambraces are fashioned from sturdy black leather, around 7-8 oz in thickness, providing solid protection for the forearms in the heat of battle or during training drills. The leather is carefully cut and shaped to wrap snugly around the arm, measuring about 9 inches tall and 11 inches wide when laid flat. Each piece is reinforced with pointed leather accents, stitched and riveted firmly to hold their shape and withstand the rigors of wear. The vambraces fasten with soft cotton cording, which allows for a secure yet adjustable fit. Available in black leather with accent options in black, red, or brown, these vambraces reflect the style and practical design worn by knights and men-at-arms across medieval Europe. They would have served well in the chaos of battle or the pageantry of tournaments.
Fun fact: Leather vambraces were often favored by knights because they offered a balance of protection and flexibility, allowing greater freedom of movement than heavier metal gauntlets during long campaigns or combat.
