Ok I apologize in advance for this. If this question isn't ok then please by all means remove it.

I wanted to know if anyone can tell me a web site where I can get bracers? I mean like the ones Kenshin uses?

Here is a picture for reference:

Thanks and again if this is the wrong board or not a cool topic then I apologize.

Yes. Ebay. Or a cosplay site. Sorry that I don't have any links for you, but that's what I'd suggest.

I dun get it...what exactly is...a bracer? *look at pic but can't tell what it is*

A bracer is a piece of armor worn on the hands/wrists/lower arms. People who use bows wear them to protect their arms from the bowstring, and fencers often wear them as well.

Look for karate / Martial Arts supply stores. I know our dojo recommended a certain site, but they didn't use encryption for their site so I don't recommend it. You might look for renaissance faire (ren faire) clothing, too.

you could make some too... they don't look that complicated if you have decent sewing skills or a friend with sewing skills.

I thought bracers were the straps that hold trousers up and braces are the things you have in your mouth to straighten them?

Here in the US, we call those "suspenders". . . XD Is that really what you Aussies call them?

I got a pretty nice pair of bracers off Ebay a while back. Make sure there well made, and read the sellers feedback. Best of luck to ya!

Thanks all. I cought a few hits off of ebay on yahoo and such. I will check their specificlly though.

Anyway thanks again

Yes, Yumie it is. Suspenders? I've heard that term before. It's a bit weird.
