Hand Tooled Antique-Look Bracer

Custom Bracers

This pair of Bracers was assembled as an experiment and this picture is only for purposes of example since these bracers sold some time back. Overall length is approximately 9-1/2 inches with a second, hand tooled leather panel attached that is approximately 7 inches long. They were lined with a very supple butterscotch colored chap leather. The closure on this pair was brass eyelets with leather lacing.

On this pair of bracers, the rivets are solid brass to resist corrosion and add to the asthetic appeal of the antiqued look.

Greeves

Custom Greeves

This particular pair of Greeves was made for a dear friend and valued customer and shows only one of the myriad of ways I can assemble a pair of beautiful greeves for you. For more detail, click HERE. Greeves do require some custom measuring and fitting, and as such, pricing is a flexible thing. Some of the options you can consider are, color, closures, adornments, stainless plates(as in the picture), custom tooling, lining, thickness of leather and even more. These are very personal items to their owners and I prefer for them to tell me exactly what they want.

© 2007 Twisted Gryphon Leather

Twisted Gryphon Leather Co.

All of our leather armor is made with Vegetable tanned leather and as such, can be tooled with any design your heart may desire. Please understand that highly detailed pictures and graphics may not be possible due to the restrictions of leather as an artistic medium. One other factor to keep in mind is that stains and dyes will react differently to different hides of leather and sometimes it's just not possible to get an exact color match if we are coloring leathers from different hides.
