Did the Vikings use bracers?
The whole topic of leather armor, and leather bracers, in particular, is very controversial. while the whole Viking culture perception is deeply affected by modern interpretations. We have little to no evidence of leather armor in Northmen culture, which is logical because not too many textile and leather pieces survived from the period. However, from what we see regarding clothing and other leather pieces, Vikings mostly used metal armor, and leather armguards and bracers are mostly interpretations of metal pieces that existed. Nevertheless, we know a lot about Viking visual culture and decorations, so our interpretations, while having an obvious fantasy vibe, are based on existing styles and designs and could be used as practical pieces or accessories organically coexisting with other parts of Viking costume and armor
Please note, forearm size for these bracers should be taken lower than usual, 6 in (15 cm) higher from the wrist line.

Wonderful quality, these are obviously crafted with care and are solid. Quality leather and the brass accents look great. If anything about these could be improved at all, I'd say maybe the buckles for the straps seem a little lightweight by comparison, but they still look good and are tucked out of the way anyway. I was a little unsure what to expect in terms of the length: the bracer is 6", but the binding at either end adds about another half inch, so these will go about 6.5" up from the wrist.

Awesome piece, just as pictured. Despite providing my size, it came a bit too small. I plan to add additional hole to the straps to make it fit.

Got my short bracers in, the fit is phenomenal. The craftsmanship is extraordinary and spot on, the saying you get what you pay for is not the case here if that was the case they should cost more thank you armstreet

WOW, awesome.The leather is nice and thick the brass plates are riveted on which means if one comes off I can replace it easily, the seller was prompt with an answer to my questions and the postage time was reasonable, I would buy from this seller again.

I intend to buy the Viking short bracers with etched brass accents, but I have a doubt. I'm tempted to buy them from stock to have them in time for the next event, but my sizes put me just at the top end of medium. Now I know that in terms of sizing, this is a simple piece and it has a fixed length, but standing over six and one third feet, and used to ordering XL and finding them short, I'm a little wary of mediums. Would it make a noticeable difference to have them custom made?
Hi Edwin, the length of these particular bracers is the same for the fixed size and custom size bracers.
Hi! Can the bracers be made with plain brass, with no other decoration than the shield boss ?
Yes, sure, that is possible, just mention it in the comments to your order. :)
Hi Team! These bracers look great, would it be possible to change the Viking water dragon design to a Celtic wolf instead?
Can be made with the wolves as shown here on the bag. Such upgrade will cost about $180 extra for two bracers.
Is it possible to get these bracers made with a different etching? I recently bought your viking shield boss with the snakes, and was wondering would it be possible to have snakes done on these bracers? thanks!
Hi Elizabeth! Custom etching should be possible for extra cost. Please contact our support team for the details.
Y'all need to have matching greaves. Then I would probably cave in to buying them. With the bracers. And belt. And gorget. That would rock so hard, people would hear Viking metal accompanying me like a soundtrack whenever I enter a room.
Technically this is possible, we can create matching greaves upon request, but we'll need about a month for the design, production and photography.The price will be around $350.
Matching belt and gorget are available in the store, welcome!
I'm interested in the viking short bracers and was wondering if the price is for a pair of them or if it's just for one.
This listing is for a pair of bracers: left and right.
Hello! I ordered two Vikinga Tunics and now I consider buying the Vikning-bracers. But for me it is important that the leather comes from animals that have been treated well! Can you tell me about the leather?
The bracers are made of dyed full-grain cattle leather, which is thick and dense.
Hello! Could you custom make these? I mean are there only one size or can you make them as long/short as I want? Best Regards! //Tor Edenholm
The length of the bracers is standard. We can lengthen them, just specify the length in the order comments. Please note that the length of the metal accents is not changeable.
Okey, I understand.
How long is it? From top to bottom.
15 cm (about 6 inches).
Are the Viking Leather Bracers with Brass sold as a pair set for $149?
Yes, this listing is for a pair of bracers: left and right.
Regarding the Viking leather bracers with brass, do you have matching Gorgets?
Yes, we have matching Viking's gorget.
