King Deal Leather

Many lands revere their warrior-kings and admire them in battle... but even the chosen lord of the people needs protection. The King set is more than regal enough to set even the Emperor of the Inner Kingdoms to peace. He certainly couldn't be killed by a boar.

A King deserves the attention of his subjects--his position and power demand such respect--but you also know he must look the part. You have hired the finest craftsmen in your land to create armour fitting a King’s status.

Embroidery embellishes the hems in gold and fine thread. A purple cloak drapes down from your sturdy, confident shoulders. And upon your chest, finely crafted leather with carved detailing marks you as something finer than the rest. No one shall look upon you with anything but admiration.

You, after all, are the King.

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.
