Question
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: Hi Jalmolky:

I have seen several of these on different models and I happen to own one in spandex (very snuggly/huggly)

This is by no means the only source for a good armbinder. But i think the people here are friendly, they can help you custom and address issues. And they do have some assortment of designs. Check and ask.

Also some places do not have flexible  bondage models to work with (smile) or know the product (so to speak), but you can see the model is happy to relish in the products and use them to maximum effect. But once again the snugness depends on the material, design, and the person wearing it.

So I hope this site is a good fit for your needs. <smile>
Other than that, good happy hunting.

Best regards

QUESTION: Thanks for your answer.

I wanted to let you know that after more searching I've found out that it is a Ledermeister armbinder.  Ledermeister or Ron Brandt passed away in 2005, so you can't get em quite like this any more.

Answer
While I had not seen the site for a while now, I remember Ledermeister as high end high quality work. A bit severe and stiffening for some models perhaps, but the craftsmanship was indeed great. Once again I would go back to custom work, researching around.
Best of luck.
