PW.17. The Karenswood “Premier” Sleeve

The PW.17. was created by Alan Sims and it represents all that one could ask of a heavy weight protective sleeve. Hand crafted, the sleeve is anatomically contoured to the general shape of the human arm. It is joined by a leather hinge at the elbow and the top section is extended to provide more upper arm protection. A leather gusset has been sewn into the mouth of the joint in order to give a degree of protection without losing the flexibility of the joint. The design is such that it allows better than 90% natural movement of the arm regardless of which way it is articulated. The sleeve is lined with the very best quality felt. The illustration shows the PW.17. with a closed end containing a hand grip and ventilation hole. This model can also be supplied with an open end (Code Number PW.17a.). Both models will accept the heavy duty sleeve cover PW.2.

Illustrated here in the very best stirrup leather, the PW.17. is also available in a soft, yet extremely resilient chrome leather (PW.14.).
