The wrist cuff, like so many other items of cowboy gear served a useful purpose. It was used to deflect branches while “brush poppin’”, to cushion the blows of horns or hooves while doing ground work. It kept a long shirt sleeves from dangling over hands and kept the wrist area covered if the sleeves were too short. It kept shirt cuffs from fraying too. Many people call these roping cuffs implying that they were used in the actual process of roping. They were not. While cuffs might deflect a rope burn or might protect an arm entangled by accident, they were never used as part of the roping process. The mere idea of using a cuffed arm to stop a steer or horse is ridiculous and anyone who thinks to try this is in danger of severe injury or even loss of a hand or arm.
We take a lot of care in making our cuffs. They are fully-lined with the wrist area ending in a comfortable roll of soft, flexible leather. We offer several styles in long and short versions depending on personal preference as well as length of forearm. We can, of course, tailor any of these on request. We offer the older-fashioned buckle closure or more modern (post 1900) snap closures on all our cuffs.
