These are a fun way to add some flair to an outfit. Lots of people are using them in matching colours to their main outfit, but I liked paring them with my base colour so they were more versatile (planning to use with Ranger, Pirate and Halloween Elf outfits). They can be challenging to tie onto your own arms without help, but I was able to make a small knot then wrap the laces around my arm a few times and tuck under the top edge. Just be aware that the strip of material under the eyelets may end up a slightly different shade from the rest due to it being a different material. I was a bit surprised by that, but the effect isn't too noticeable when you have the eyelets placed on the inside back of your arm.
I've been looking for decent bracers for years now, but I won't wear animal leather. In addition, most bracers I've looked at are too large or too stiff (too uncomfortable to wear all day at faire). But THESE amazing Xena bracers are PERFECT! They look fantastic, come in so many colors (I have three colors now!), and sooo comfortable in a firm but movable fabric. And after a hot sweaty day, these can even be tossed in the wash! Definitely recommend!
Incredibly good workmanship and high quality
Worn once today for less than an hour, and some of the color near the eyelets for lacing is gone. I did have to pick up my dog while she was wet, but there should not have been a color transfer; there are now white spots where the dye is gone. They fit great and are comfortable to wear, lacing will take some getting used to, but that's a user issue. Overall I'm satisfied with this purchase
