I just received a pair of custom made leather shoulders from Draven and I can not be more impressed.
First of all she spent days helping me figure out what would work for me and what exactly I was looking for. Once I found a picture of what I wanted she looked at it and said "sure, easy peasy".
Time between payment and finished product was 2 weeks and that was over Thanksgiving weekend. She sent pics to make sure she had what I wanted and shipped them out right away. She even added some decorative groove and cap rivets to really snazz the whole thing up.
The arrived Thursday just in time for fight practice. All I had to do was punch holes in the arm straps and they were ready to where. I received several compliments on how good the shoulders looked and several people were impressed when I took a hit on the shoulder with no problems. These things are HARD. Hitting them with rattan is like knocking wood together, and as long as my fingers are out of the way (short story about stupidity and human nature ) I didn't feel much more than the pressure of the hit.
So:
Communication 5
Time to make 5
Delivery on time 5
Product itself 5 ++++
Followup Care 5++ (I gave her the wrong measurement for the top of my shoulder so my helmet digs into the leather. She has offered to fix them for me if I cover shipping, and I offered payment for services.)
If you want leather and she can make what you want then order from her. She is awesome.

Ignore the green line. That was added digitally to show where the shoulder is to wide.

Thank you Kaolin for posting your review up. If you need anymore help adjusting them for the messed up measurement let me know. Also don't forget long as get them to me and cover shipping back I'll alter them for no additional cost

They look kind of like a horseshoe crab.
