Gulf War: Desert Shield, Desert Storm Service Medal Paracord Bracelet

Get the perfect fit for your bracelets by using these instructions. I need to know your wrist size — not bracelet size.

I’ve made thousands of bracelets and know how to knot up your order for a comfortable fit. But I need you to take a moment to get the right measurement info to me.

Why we need your wrist size? Depending on the knot and clasp, I add the necessary length to your wrist size to ensure your bracelet will fit properly. Do not add extra space to compensate for a comfortable fit!

1. First, you'll need a ruler, a pen or pencil and a strip of paper about a half inch wide.
2. Wrap the strip of paper lightly around your wrist.
3. Mark the piece of paper right were it meets the starting point.
4. Then measure that length on a ruler. Now you know what size to order!

All of my products are made to order by me right here in the U.S.A. with mil-spec MIL-C-5040H type III requirement cord and have a minimum breaking strength of 550 pounds (550 cord).

Not all paracord is created equal -- especially the sub-par cord from overseas. My 550 parachute cord comes from the same U.S. factory that is a government contractor to supply the military, so quality is assured. We use the actual paracord our service men and women rely on every day!

There is approximately 1" of paracord for every inch of knotting. This does vary slightly depending on the knot. If you were to disassemble your item you could use the cord and the strands within for all kinds of outdoor and, yes, survival applications.

Download our Free Paracord 101 eBook for the full scoop on this versatile cord and it's many uses.

Keep in mind each of your items will be handmade to order based on your specific order details. LEO and Military orders are given first priority and always go to the front of the line. Generally, most orders are knotted up and ship within 48-72 hours.

Due to the amount of knotting required on larger orders and dog leashes, these orders will take more time — so plan on an additional 5-7 days. If you have a specific in-house date don’t hesitate to reach out and let us know!

We are in zip code 38668 in northern Mississippi. First Class USPS will vary to your location. Let’s be real — Uncle Sam’s postal service is not the most consistent or reliable. So plan on 3-5 days to get your package; possibly longer if you are on either coast or there are weather issues in your neck of the woods.

We highly recommend if you want to get your items faster that you upgrade to Priority using our special customer deal for only $5.95 which takes 2-3 days from our location to yours once in Uncle Sam’s hands (and even that isn’t guaranteed by USPS!).
