Fell free to ask questions.

All right. I have no idea what "vegetable leather" is really. So my idea is for a very simple set of bracers in black suede. Eyeholes for laces instead of buckles, with grommets so they don't get all distorted.
No designs or anything like that, I'm going for simplicity. It's a gift for a friend actually.
Does it sound like something you can do?

Suede don't really fit for bracer. It is thin and too soft. It is principaly used on women boots. Vegetable leather is better. It's a leather tanned with bark, mostly oak and chestnuts.
But yes, I can do that, it's the most simple thing you can do in leather.

I have stats. They were tough to get because she doesn't know her wrist size.
Do you want them in Inches or Centimeters?

Centimeters If you can.
Just, I won't be able to make it until 10 days at least, I have a lots of commission and work in progress that I have to finish.

Sorry, didn't have time to go on dev.
In fact, I didn't found good suede leather. My supplier don't have any. It isn't very used by leathercrafter. It can't be carved or molded.
I tried other that's why I was long to answer. No one have or I should buy to much of it. I don't use suede leather.
Don't you want it in vegetable leather?

Centimeters then.
Length, 13 cm
Wrist, 14 cm
Forearm, 15 cm
A little short for bracers, a little long for cuffs.
One pair. Black suede, metal grommets for laces.
How much do you want for this?

I know it is not usually used for it, but I asked for it because it is soft. I figured if I found an experienced leather worker, they'd find a way to make decently durable bracers out of it, even though I agree it won't be as good as vegetable leather.
Plus grommets are a lot stronger than simple holes.
All right, since you seem willing to do this, I will now endeavor to get her wrist size. Then you can quote me a price and we'll all be happy.

You won't know until you give it a try. But don't expect perfect things on the first go, you will need time to take the trick, like I did.
