Particularly striking: the issue of size
How do I measure my wrist circumference correctly?
It’s very simple. Just click on “Find the Right Size” or enter this link into your browser: https://www.isar-rider.de/die-richtige-groesse-finden/. Here, a photo shows you how to easily measure your wrist circumference. It’s important that you wrap the measuring tape snugly(!) around your wrist and then use that(!) measurement to find the corresponding size on the size chart. We’ll then add a few more centimeters.
What specific sizes are available?
It’s important to us that the bracelet fits well. That’s why we spare no expense or effort and offer seven (!) sizes, ranging from XS to 3XL. The difference between each size is only 1 cm.
What should I do if the size doesn’t fit?
That’s no problem. You have 14 days to exchange the bracelet for a different size. You can find the exact procedure at the very bottom of the homepage under “Size Exchanges / Exchange Deadlines”: https://www.isar-rider.de/service-umtausch/
PLEASE NOTE: This deadline is extended during the Christmas season. For orders placed on or after November 15, you have until January 6 to exchange the item.
Do you also make custom sizes?
Yes. Since each of our bracelets is made to order, we’re happy to accommodate special sizes. The exception to this is our beaded bracelets. If you’d like a special size, just give us a quick call.
Can I return the bracelet?
That’s no problem either. You have 14 days to return the bracelet, including the wooden box, to us. At the very bottom of the homepage, you’ll find the return policy and a return button. Just click on it. As soon as we receive the package, we’ll refund the purchase price, including your shipping costs (from the order).
How long do I have to return the item?
The deadline for exchanging an item for a different size and the deadline for canceling an order are both 14 days. During the pre-Christmas period, these deadlines are extended: For orders placed on or after November 15, you have the right to exchange or cancel the order until January 6.
How quickly will my order be delivered?
We ship within 2–3 business days.
How much does shipping cost?
Your shipping fee is only 2.50 euros. We’ll cover the rest.
Are the bracelets also suitable as gifts?
Each bracelet comes in a beautiful, high-quality wooden box. So it makes the perfect gift!
Do I need to be home when the order is delivered?
No. The package will be delivered as usual by the mail carrier and will fit in your mailbox. We ship the bracelet (or bracelets) in a shipping envelope made from recycled cardboard.
Can I wear multiple bracelets together?
Absolutely! Our entire selection of bracelets is designed so that multiple bracelets can be combined with one another. Our beaded bracelets—such as the tiger’s eye or the petrified wood bracelet—pair exceptionally well with the Rider Vintage Brown, for example. You can find a small selection of possible bracelet combinations on our “Mix it – Bracelet Combinations” page: https://www.isar-rider.de/armband-kombinationen/
Are there matching partner bracelets?
Absolutely! You can find a small selection of possible matching bracelet combinations on our “Matching Bracelets” page: https://www.isar-rider.de/partnerarmbaender/
Can you also wear Isarrider bracelets with traditional attire and lederhosen?
A resounding yes! What goes better with traditional Bavarian attire and lederhosen than vintage-style bracelets? Made of suede, for example? Or in a retro design? And handmade in Bavaria, to boot.
But see for yourself: https://www.isar-rider.de/trachtenarmbaender/
How would you describe your style?
The Isarrider style can best be described as simple and high-quality. Add to that our penchant for vintage. The vintage style is evident not only in many of our leather bracelets but also in some of our clasps—such as those on the Rider or Ranger bracelets.
As for the bracelets made from climbing rope: Most of these bracelets feature a matte finish. That, too, is a deliberate stylistic choice.
And last but not least: Handcrafted in Bavaria.
Are the bracelets actually handmade by you?
Yes. Every leather or climbing rope bracelet ordered is handmade after we receive the order. This applies only to a limited extent to beaded bracelets; we have the individual beads strung by an outside vendor.
Do you also accommodate special design requests?
Yes. Since each of our bracelets is handmade only after we receive your order, we’re also open to special design requests within our range of materials. You’ll receive a one-of-a-kind piece, so to speak. Pearl bracelets are the exception to this rule. If you have a special request, it’s best to just give us a quick call.
How is the bracelet packaged?
You’ll receive the bracelet in a high-quality wooden box. This makes it the perfect gift. We ship it in a DIN A5 cardboard envelope, which fits in your mailbox. The big advantage of this is that you don’t have to be home when it’s delivered!
How do I care for the bracelet?
You should rub leather bracelets with a little leather grease or leather balm from time to time. This keeps the leather supple and protects it from moisture.
What happens when leather gets wet?
That’s not a problem, but it shouldn’t be constantly exposed to moisture. Moisture dries out the leather and makes it brittle. Before you go swimming in salty seawater, it’s best to take it off for a moment.
How durable or long-lasting is the bracelet?
Our leather is durable and high-quality. If you treat the leather with a little leather conditioner every now and then and generally take good care of the bracelet, it will serve you well for many years. Our climbing rope bracelets are virtually indestructible anyway.
Can I shower, swim, or exercise while wearing it?
You can, but you should pat the bracelet dry a little afterward. Do the same for the clasp.
Is the material skin-friendly?
Our leather is tanned using purely vegetable-based methods, and all fasteners are made of high-quality stainless steel. All materials used are completely skin-friendly. We’ve been in business for over 7 years now, without any problems.
Where exactly is the bracelet made?
We handcraft every leather or climbing rope bracelet in Bavaria after we receive an order. This applies only to a limited extent to the beaded bracelets.
What does the bracelet actually look like on the wrist?
Once you’ve decided on one—or more—bracelets, you’ll usually find at least one photo on the respective product page that shows the bracelet on a wrist.
How wide/thick is each bracelet?
The Rider bracelets are 12 mm wide, while the round Ranger and Digger bracelets have a diameter of 8 mm. The Isarsilver, Black Edition, and Isargold bracelets have a diameter of 6 mm. The beaded bracelets also have a diameter of 6 mm.
Is it more suitable for men or women?
Our bracelet collection is primarily aimed at men, because we believe that many men haven’t yet realized just how expressive a cool bracelet can look on the wrist. However, more and more women are now discovering our simple, high-quality vintage style for themselves. That’s why our sizes start as small as XS.
