Bracers?

Postby Kenshin17 » Wed May 03, 2006 8:08 pm

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.

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?
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

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