Well, this week we've updated our forearm cuffs. We have remade them out of a better leather and tightened up the design a little bit.
If you read a couple of blogs back when we first added them to the catalog, you know that they were originally made several years ago under a seperate project from GPSH and were resurrected to join the GPSH catalog.
I think they're a really good product now, and as far as I know, they are different from any other full forearm cuffs available. Other cuffs that Ive seen on the net tend to not have much contour to them, or leave a lot of the inside part of your arm uncovered, and so are more like a back plate with straps. Our forearm cuff does have some contour to it and does fully cover your arm - the palm strap gives it a great feel when you wear it - you feel like your arm and wrist are really enclosed.
The design image we're going for is kind of along the line of Victorian era prosthetic limbs. If we get a good number of sales of the black forearm cuffs, I'd like to make one geared more toward the steampunk aesthetic out of burgundy latigo with brass hardware.
Anyhow here are the thumbnails of the reworked cuffs. One is plain, one has more buckles:
In the workshop right now, we're working on a solid aluminum bracelet. that should be pretty cool, and once we get one made, there will probably be 2 or 3 styles. I would guess those will appear in a weekly update in the next week or two.
Thats about it for this week - Thanks as always for your interest in GPSHardware -Ben C - owner/designer
