See My Feedback on eBay! My Feedback is: 562
DISCLAIMER: Designated trademarks and brands are the property of their respective owners.

DESCRIPTION
Picture is provided just as an example...you may select any combination of colors (up to three different colors) for your bracelet to suit your tastes!

This listing is for one (1) paracord bracelet of my own original design! It is the best quality available anywhere!


Note: I will include a free gift with the purchase of each bracelet. I cannot show it here because I've had one seller in particular trying (unsuccessfully) to rip off my design.


I am a US soldier and am selling these in order to purchase upgraded military equipment. I also enjoy making them and hope that folks will be impressed with the quality and enjoy wearing them. As well, I have been selling these on other sites longer than anyone else. It is truly my honor to serve people like the kind folks that have ordered so far!


I make mine differently than everyone else (some have ripped off my design, but I make them better, still) and the difference in quality will be very clear when you receive it. I've even made them for Vietnam Vets using in OD green, yellow, and red.


Only genuine military-specification, US-MANUFACTURED MATERIALS ARE USED. Buy mine the first time so you won't be disappointed with the "others"!!! I have had buyers tell me they have bought the others and then mine and that mine absolutely blows the others' away in quality and workmanship. I only use Mil-spec, non-commercial, US-manufactured 550 cord!!!

Mine are absolutely the best quality on available!!! Please read on to see why mine are better than the cheapie ones. I go above and beyond to make sure you get the absolute best and then some.


Some other people on here will tell you that "ALL Paracord Survival cord bracelets you see on ebay are the same". This is simply a lie. If they're using a loop and button (either button knot or BDU button) to fasten the bracelet, you are getting around three feet less cord than with my bracelet. Period. Also, BDU buttons break down in UV (sunlight). That's why extra buttons are included in the military sewing kit. Fastex buckles are UV-resistant and will not break down in sunlight. In an emergency, you'll also have an extra Fastex buckle to repair your gear. I take pride in making these the best way with the most cord (over TWICE AS MUCH CORD as the "others" currently listed on elsewhere) and providing a superior product. Check my feedback...you will not be disappointed.


The "contoured" black buckles shown by another seller are, in fact, made in China. If I compromised my principles and bought Chinese cord and buckles, I could sell them that cheap too but I will not do that. BUY AMERICAN!!!


Price will be $19.99 + $4.00 shipping via USPS with insurance and delivery confirmation for any number of bracelets up to a pound (around 11 bracelets) within the US (including Alaska and Hawaii) or to APO/FPO addresses. I will only ship within the US, APO/FPO, UK, and Australia. Shipping outside of the US will be $15.00 to UK and $16.00 to Australia via USPS International First Class (registered) as this is trackable and much safer than other methods.


You may choose single color, two-tone, or three tone.


These are HEAVY DUTY. I saw some on here that were cheaply-made with a price to match...here is how mine are different.


Please read the following so you'll know why mine are better...Mine are the ones real soldiers wear...


1. I have only used and will only ever use US-manufactured parts for these bracelets. My buckles are US-manufactured Fastex/Nexus/ITW and not cheap, imported, Chinese crap. Period.


2. I do not use any "button knots", BDU buttons, or some other such non-sense fastening method on my bracelets. Mine use genuine US-manufactured Fastex buckles -- the coyote tan and foliage green are the low IR-signature buckles, as used by the US military and have a very professional appearance. Show up to formation with a bracelet fastened with a button knot and get laughed at...show up with one of mine and your commander will want to know where you got it so he can get one. It's as simple as that.


3. Mine have 6 strands of NON-GUTTED 550 cord inside the braid instead of 2 (like the others elsewhere), so it is much more substantial and has a VERY tight weave. It takes a little more time (around 45 minutes longer) to do them this way as well. Check the other ones -- if you only see two strands (or less) around one or both ends where the buckle is, they made it the fast, cheap way.


4. Shipping on mine is $4 per package...not $4 per bracelet. 10 bracelets cost the same for shipping as one.


All of the colors of cord listed here are colors I have here right now that I can use to make your bracelet...no waiting, no "backorders". The colors of US-Manufactured, Military Specification 550 cord I currently have available are:

ACU Camouflage
Foliage Green (lighter,current US Army spec)
Coyote Brown (very dark tan)
Desert Tan (light tan)
OD green (olive drab)
Desert Camo (MARPAT)
Maroon
Red
White
Black
Royal Blue
Yellow
Navy Blue
Safety Orange
Turquoise
Teal
Neon Green
Neon Pink
Silver (dark white)
OD green with reflective tracer

Buckles are available in black, foliage green, and tan.

I can source many other colors of paracord, but it takes a few days to get it shipped to me...just let me know what you'd like after you've completed your purchase.

If you would like one, please let me know what size you would like it. This WILL NOT be your wrist size. A good rule of thumb is to add 1.5 - 2.0 inches to your actual snug wrist measurement (as measured with a tailor's tape or paper). When I make them for myself, I add 1.5" and that's about right. 2.0" will be fairly loose. I will make it to the size you specify, so please measure twice! :-) Please click on an image below to see a larger version of that pic... again, these are just examples. You may choose whatever color combination you'd like!!!

(You are viewing multiple views of several different items above, however, you are only bidding on one (1) bracelet.)

Any questions, please ask before bidding. These and all my items come from a smoke-free and pet-free home. Payment by Postal MO only. PayPal ok also, but you must have a confirmed address and I will only ship to that address. I will try my best to ship it out the same day I receive payment barring any pending military commitments. If I am up for deployment rotation or training courses, I will note this at the very bottom of the listing text. I have begun offering these to folks in Canada, the UK, and Australia. If you are outside of the US (to the countries listed only), shipping will be $12.00 to Canada, $15.00 for UK, and $16.00 for Australia via USPS International First Class (registered).. I have had some problems with Global Priority Mail, so can only ship this way internationally now. Also, I can only ship international shipments once a week as that is the only time I can dedicate enough time to stand in line at the post office. I do not mind doing this, but cannot take off of work to do so...I can only go on Saturdays. Shipping/handling within the US (only) is $4.00 and includes delivery confirmationandinsurance. Ask the other sellers if theirs covers that for their $1.47. Payment must be received within seven (7) days.

Instructions to buyer:
Once you have paid, I will need the following information to make your bracelet(s)...I will begin making your bracelet as soon as I receive this info:

1. Please let me know what size you need. This will be your wrist size as measured snugly (no gap at all, but not super tight) with a fiberglass tailor's tape or a piece of paper (mark where it overlaps and measure with a ruler). Then, add 1.5 inches for a comfortable fit or 2.0 inches for a loose fit. If you do not follow these instructions and simply guess at the size, it won't fit and they cannot be resized once completed. If something in these instructions is not clear, PLEASE DO NOT SIMPLY GUESS AT THE SIZE. Please email me and I'll see if I can clear up any confusion.

2. If ordering a multi-color bracelet, please indicate what color you would like for the edges, for the central woven part, and for the inner (core) strands.

3. Finally, please let me know what color buckle you would like. And that's it!

Check out my feedback from folks that have purchased my bracelets and bid with confidence!!! I guess you know you provide a great product when everyone else wants to come along and copy you. :-)

Last thing...contrary to what other sellers would have you believe, sending bracelets to Soldiers/Marines will NOT save their lives. The items I am purchasing from the sale of MY bracelets WILL. The other seller is buying junk with your money and may or may not be actually sending any bracelets to others. Please know that when you buy my bracelets, you are helping a soldier to be able to purchase gear to augment their standard issue with things that will increase survivability in a combat environment. I am not purchasing random junk or other unnecessary garbage with this money. The "others" are NOT buying things like armor plate carriers, first aid kits, asherman chest seals, quikclot, training books, pressure dressings, map cases, etc.

I have a message for you others selling your substandard, inferior copies of my product on here. I am NOT a servicemember's "spouse". I didn't "used to be" in the military. My "father" was not in the military. I AM THE MILITARY. I am a soldier. I don't ride on the coat tails of someone else's affiliation. I DON'T HAVE TO. End of message to them.

I truly appreciate the kind words from everyone!!! Thanks!

Note: As of May 14, 2007, USPS has increased the cost to mail these packages by a full dollar. It actually costs me more than $4.00 in postage to ship them now, but I eat the difference. I don't even charge for my shipping materials.
