Vladimir Bracers

The "Vladimir" bracers consist of curved segments and have additional hand and elbow protection. The inner side of the arm is also protected by a flexible segment. The hand protector is flexibly connected to the forearm and thus hardly hinders the wearer in combat.

The Vladimir greaves are made of curved segments decorated with beading and rivets. The knee tile is movable so that it does not restrict mobility in combat. A peculiarity of these leg rails is that they are also closed on the back of the calf.

The "Vladimir" armor belt is the appropriate thigh protection to the "Vladimir" Torso armour. It consists of segmented tassets which are attached to a sturdy belt of split leather by means of enclosed leather straps. With additional eyelets, the tassets can be placed in different places of the belt and are therefore optimally adjustable for individual size and body shape. This armor is self-sustaining and can be worn without a torso armour. It can also be combined with chain mails or leather armour.

Same as the "Vladimir" torso armour the spaulders are made out of several flexible segments. This allows the wearer to lift and turn his arms to the greatest possible extent.
Their broad shape accentuates the impressive appearance of the whole suit of armour.

An impressive looking torso armour composed of many flexible segments. These interlocking components leave a lot more freedom of movement to the wearer than normal torso plates and make it less obstructive in battle.

Shredder would have bought them from us if it wasn't for those damn Turtles!

The best made armour is crafted by the most skilled smiths, the leather worked with such precision and care that the wearer can move unhindered, but still protected on the battlefield.

You have commissioned a leather crafter to create a pair of Samurai Bracers for you. Before she is paid you want to be certain it is properly made armour, and so you conduct a test. With the bracers properly tied to your arm, you perform a series of sword drills, faster than the eye can properly see.

The bracers are perfect.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Samurai Bracers are a set of leather vambraces designed to protect the forearms and hands in combat. Made from full-grain leather, these bracers have been sculpted to comfortably follow the shape of the arms. The leather has been hardened and the edges curved to add structural strength that will ensure added protection and longevity.

Comfortably secure the Samurai Bracers by lacing the leather cords on the underside and tightly wrap the heavy cotton fabric around the wrist. Attach the handguard by gripping the cotton cord around the knuckles. Inspired by Asian traditional armour, these bracers are perfectly matched with other products from Epic Armoury’s Asian Universe.

HISTORY

• Hand and arm protection are one of the oldest forms of armour, due to its importance in combat
• This particular style might also be referred to as a demi-gauntlet, due to its limited finger protection

The name Cromwell is thoroughly associated with protective handwear. We're unsure if these are named for Sir Thomas or Sir Oliver Cromwell. Both had a hand in protecting people, being lawyers and landed gentry.

It's probably not for Sir Thomas though, as he was beheaded by order of King Henry VIII.

Either way these will have you up to the elbow in 1mm thick steel.

One of your hands cross the shield wall, your Raider Bracer slamming metal first into the nose of one of the defender, breaking the formation. They try to stab your hand but the metal and underlying chainmail makes it impossible...
