Members Wickedjester Posted September 7, 2013 Members Report Posted September 7, 2013 (edited) Hello all! I'm in the planning stages for making someone a leather bracer/cuff. They indicate that they'll wear it often in hot, Florida conditions so I thought I'd have the underside lined with something that would help keep the skin underneath cool and hopefully wisk away moisture. Does anyone have any recommendations on something that would be good for this? High tech solutions are ok. I considered fur, swede, or sherpa lining, but I have to wonder if those will be too hot for 95 degree Florida weather. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Members Dwight Posted September 8, 2013 Members Report Posted September 8, 2013 Since you are treading in uncharted waters, . . . if I were you, . . . I'd look at one of the super special undershirts sold to the military in the sandbox. Most military suppliers (such as Quartermaster.com) would have them. You should have enough material there to make several, . . . couple for practice, . . . couple for production. Might even give someone like JoAn Fabric a shout, . . . if you get a knowledgeable sales person, you would probably make out. If not, . . . wellllll.................
