Question
I have been searching the web high and low for a place I can purchase an arm binder such as the one in this video:

http://www.spike.com/video/2891101

Most arm binders I see look loose, bulky, strappy, or just plain bad.  

This one (in the video) is very sleek and simple.  I like the way it is tapered (no big reservoir for the hands), that its sides come to a close just as the elbows touch (it can be as tight or as loose as you want), and that it has one strap that goes up the back and then branches over the shoulders (no straps crossing in front of the neck to create choking hazard).  

I've seen a few that are very close to this, but not quite (either look too loose or the designer decided to add straps).  I think there are two possibilities.  One, is that it is custom made (if so who would you recommend?). Two, is that the pictures that various online shops have on their website have the models wearing the large sized arm binders and thats why they look so bulky (you can never tell because most descriptions are lacking at best).

Any input or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Honestly, I was stumped. Then I switched around my search terms and found the people I believe to be responsible. I know we carry something close (http://www.extremerestraints.com/premium-leather-armbinders_88.html), but I think the one you're looking at looks like the work of sub-shop.com. I know they work in colors. I think they do custom work as well.
 Good luck, and remember everyone, switch our your google search terms.  If one term isn't getting you the results you want, try something new.
