These bracers are wonderful. They are an attractive set of fantasy bracers. They have a solid construction with nothing "loose". The only thing I would encourage someone interested in getting these to be aware of is that they are part of a set, so if you mix and match from different sets like I did, they might not match very well. I knowingly did this with plans to darken parts of the leather with leather die. Now they match nicely with my armor. Great Bracers! :)
