This is a loomed set of Connor's Armbands from Assassin's Creed III. This set is NOT off-set. It is done on a loom using Allikat's beading pattern. Peyote stitch, the off-set version, can be requested but it takes a LOT longer and does not look as nice, in my opinion.

The breakdown quote for beads is...
$23.17-17.79 for Miyuki Size #8 seed beads (high price is for a 14" armband, price drops the less beads I need)
$2.49-$1.00 depending on Joann prices for Heavy Duty Craft thread.
~$10 leather
$5.35 shipping in the US priority 3-5 days
$2.00 tracking

High Quote (mounted on suede leather): $60
Low Quote (mounted on suede leather): $55

High Quote (strung beads only): $50
Low Quote (strung beads only): $45

Total Work Hours is 16. But, I make them at work so I'm just charging materials + shipping and skimming off the top. All tips appreciated of course. Paypal only. US only. Rush charge is $15. I'm slow.

Note: right now my arm is broken and I can't mount until the 10th so if you just want the beads - it gets there faster.

FOR YOUR MEASUREMENT - SUPER SUPER SUPER IMPORTANT.
- DO NOT measure your arm while flexing
- Measure your arm WITH the coat on AND WITHOUT the coat on
- DO NOT measure the bicep - measure in the little indentation ABOVE the bicep, the bicep muscle is what actually holds the piece up.
- The bands come with an elastic piece to help you keep it up but the NUMBER ONE problem people have is that they're heavy and slide down so we advise pinning them or stitching them to the costume if it's an option.

Note: Feathers are real and have been treated with Tea Tree Oil and Bay Oil (natural antibiotic and antifungal). If you have allergies, synthetic feathers are available.

I collect them from Seagulls, ducks, doves and pigeons at Golden Gardens Park and Padilla Bay in Seattle, Washington. Some are also from the local San Juan Islands.

Yeah - my arm's feeling much better now, fortunately. The beads, just strung, and not mounted are $45 - labor, shipping and materials for sizes 10"-13" and $50 for 14"-17".
