i've just made a pair of new, heavy, thin-gripped contact staves. to save my wrists, I thought it'd be cool to have some kind of leather cuff. i know poi ppl have talked about this vis-a-vis wraps; but my search wasn't very helpful.
the question is: does anyone know of a decent UK supplier for the kind of thing I'm looking for - 3 inch softish leather, probably, with as little in the way of buckles as possible (laces would be better)? or, for that matter, have any opinion on whether cuffs are a good thing or not?
google just gives me porn sites . . .

Try looking for leather bracers on google. They are frequently worn by men in Renaissance costumes. I know they are sold at Ren. Faires on a regular basis.

Its fairly easy to make your own. Map a cloth or card pattern first, so as not to waste more expensive leather, to get sizing and go for it. If you use a heavy leather it might be comfortable to pad them with sheepskin.

Is it the Truth?
Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?
