Bracers (Non-Armor)		Leather or Leather-Like	● Bracers made of harder materials than leather are considered armor and must be pre-approved in the design process. ● Cannot have any visible laces or buckles. ● May have up to three straps; the ends of the straps must be hidden ● Must encompass the entire forearm with no visible gap. ● Can be closed by snaps (must be subdued), industrial Velcro, or magnets, but this closure must be hidden on the inner forearm ● No etching or designs other than basic lines or borders will be permitted. ● Bracers may have a flap extending over the hand, provided that the wrist is still capable of full range of motion. If a hand flap is present, the bracer must be worn over some sort of sleeve or wrap.

The method should be shown in a separate submission photo. ● The color of the wraps should be complementary to the rest of the costume and should reflect colors allowed for tabards.
Armlets		Should be made of an approvable fabric (please see the fabrics section for a list of options)	● Similar in construction to simple bracers, but made of fabric instead of leather. ● May be used in place of wraps. ● Should be tailored to ensure proper fit and avoid a baggy look. ● The color of the armlets should be complementary to the rest of the costume and should reflect colors allowed for tabards.
