    Very cool and nicely doen leather work. Would it be right to call these greeves?

    Thanks!.........but humbly I say, no. These are Vambraces...or "Bracers" for short.

    Greaves are shin guards...which are next to be made, by the way...lol.

    Greaves protect the shins; vambraces protect the forearm.

    Great work, even stitching, nice cutting work. Nothing like seeing a good handmade leather item. Keep us posted on your next project.

    They're cool. Congrats. I'll be receiving my Multicam paintball kilt tomorrow with a few innovations including ability for a thigh holster stay tuned for that if you're interested.
