Hi there one and all.
Bracers seem to have become all the rage once again with everyone and their pet velociraptor having their own bracer to match their individual personalities.
Hmmm well maybe everybody but me.
Bracers have indeed been around since time in memorial.
Just how long ago you ask? Try the Bronze Age my friends.
Yep, now that’s a fashion statement that has stuck around through thick, thin and nuclear devastation.
Bracers are just as hot a fashion nowadays as they were all those hundreds of years ago.
So what are the mysterious origins of the now uber popular bracer, well as I said it was way back in Bronze Age Europe where bracers made of stone were used to show levels of stature amongst different members of society, early fashion trend setters if you will.
However the leather bracer which has been used for thousands of years, had the most practical use…that being for archers to wear on their arms to protect them from the bows string…dude have you ever tried to use a bow without the use of a bracer, it hurts reeeeeal bad, especially after a few shots.
I honestly thing the veteran archers purposefully don’t give you a bracer at first, just to see you sting the heck out of yourself…sadistic people right?!
