Windrider30 Report post Posted July 14, 2015 Ok so kind of bored of late and decided to make a set of bracers to match the corset that I did (you can find that one here in the forum) just not sure which closure I like the best so what do you all think?

lwm803 Report post Posted July 14, 2015 Those look good and I am a big fan of bracers. As someone who has spent may hours wearing bracers it is an easy choice. The one with laces can be left open to help cool the wrists and the laces will not catch on everything that comes close to them like the clasps are likely to do. So, I actually like the looks of the one with clasps and they would be easier to put on, but if I was going to be wearing them much I would choose the ones with laces,, just my experience.

Windrider30 Report post Posted July 14, 2015 Iwm803 how do you do the laces up one handed just asking because I have not figured that one out yet lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squirrelly66 Report post Posted July 14, 2015 for the steampunk look or to go with that type of costume the latch bracer is nice. I like the lace one also as I've worn them a lot and as Lwm803 said, they don't catch on anything. (most times, lol). I use small buckles and straps myself, but that's a personal choice mostly for the armor and other things I do. they do both look good though.

Windrider30 Report post Posted July 14, 2015 Thanks Squirrelly and yeah the steam punk look goes great with the latches (as it matches the corset as well) but honeslty still have no idea how to lace a bracer up by myself normaly need help from the wife lol.

lwm803 Report post Posted July 15, 2015 I usually sit at a table, put the bracer on then lay my wrist with the bracer on the table with the laces facing up. It might take a bit of practice to learn to tie them one handed but believe me it can be done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windrider30 Report post Posted July 15, 2015 AH cool thanks Iwm803 then I can simply sell the bracers with the lace and let the customer worry about tieing them on lol. I was just wondering if there was a way to do it like a corset. With a corset you can make it so that the person wearing the corset can actually tie it off themselves, but then again they do have both hands free lol. Ok off to make a new bracer have some spikes I just got from tandy I want to play with hehe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
