Bohemond Sleeves
Bohemond Sleeves
Legend
Byzantine princess Anne Comnenus, an eyewitness to the time of the first Great Crusade, was fascinated by Bohemond of Tarentum, of whom she left a detailed description in the Alexiad, like no other Crusader prince: He was a cubit taller than the tallest; slim of belly, broad of shoulders and chest; neither lean nor fat. His arms were strong, his hands fleshy and a little large. His sea-green-blue eyes hinted at his bravery and violence. His wide nostrils drew in air freely, in tune with the fiery heart beating in his vast chest. This size, this look, there was something in it that was not likeable, and even did not seem like man... Bohémond de Tarente, prince of Antioch, was one of the leaders of the First Crusade of 1096.

The Azure Standard: Authentic Original Designs
You might see cheap, low-quality imported copies using our stolen photos across the web. When you buy directly from Azure Workshops, you are investing in the authentic, original design. Here is what makes the real deal worth it:
- True Leather Mastery: Depending on the item's tier, we use thick, highly durable buffalo leather or premium vegetable-tanned leather. It doesn't peel or crack like cheap imitations; it gains character as you adventure.
- Battle-Ready Hardware: We use tough, plated steel rivets and buckles. Your straps are built to hold under the stress of combat.
- Handcrafted in Montreal: Every cut and rivet is done by our fairly paid artisans in Canada.
- Lifetime Repair Warranty: We stand by our work. While we cannot prevent normal wear and tear from combat, we offer a lifetime repair warranty on the structural integrity of our house brand. If a strap breaks or a rivet pops, we fix it.
