Step Three:
Choose one lining (soft leather, color varies):
- unlined : add nothing
- lined : add $2.25 per inch of bracer length
- velvet : add $2.00 per inch of bracer length
Step Four:
Choose weight of leather:
- Oil tan : add nothing
- Vegetable tan (4-5 oz): add $0.60 per inch length
- Wax hardened Vegetable tan (4-5 oz): add $1.60 per inch length
- Heavy Vegetable (10 oz): add $0.75 per inch length
- Wax hardened Heavy Vegetable (10 oz): add $1.75 per inch length

Wax hardening is done using bees wax or water. It makes the
leather much stiffer, to withstand blunt blows better. Wax hardened
leather CANNOT BE LINED. Vegetable tan is a hardish leather, suited for armor, and not recommended for dress/comfort wear.

Step Five:
add Shipping/Handling $4.50
Step Six:
Making the pattern:
| I will also need from you a paper pattern so I can make
the bracer to fit.Take a piece of paper, wrap it around your
forearm pretty snug, then tape it. Using a pair of scissors,
cut it from the wrist up. You should end up with a paper pattern
that looks roughly like a bracer. Edges can then be trimmed so that
it fits you perfectly - this is the pattern I work from, and what
you give me is what you get.
