Bracers Squire

As a squire, you must wake with the sun to prepare for your training. You are responsible for your master as well as your extra chores, and it’s only after the morning’s water is boiled and you’ve set out your master’s clothing and armour that you are allowed to begin your drills.

What armour you own, a pair of Squire Bracers, is easy enough for you to wear as you practice your sword swings. One day you will be a fearsome knight. For now, you must continue to work hard.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Bracers Squire are sturdy leather armguards designed to protect the forearms during combat. Made from four thick full-grain leather plates fit together using tough leather cords, these bracers have great structural strength to make them last a long time and resist deformation. Comfort is also important, as these bracers feature soft split-leather lining against your skin on the inside.

Secure this gauntlet to your arm by adjusting the leather cord lacing to your desired tightness. The style is timeless and moderate, and is fully compatible with other Epic Armoury leather and metal armours, giving you the freedom to customize your costume.

HISTORY

• Unlike popular belief, arm protection was only called a bracer if it was meant to protect the forearm of an archer
• Forearm protection not intended for an archer would have been called a vambrace or forearm guard
