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 where 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.

Remember that each item will be handmade to order based on your specific order details. We are always pretty busy (Paul only has two hands, after all), so most orders are knotted up and ship within 5-7 BUSINESS days -- sometimes sooner.   Veteran and LEO orders are given priority and always go to the front of the line.

With that said, USPS is even more inefficient than usual.  Plan on extended delivery times once your order is on the way.  You will be provided a tracking number so that you can keep an eye on your package as USPS plods along. Be sure to add our email address "support at paracordpaul.com" to your address book so that our emails get through.

Due to the amount of knotting required on larger orders and dog leashes, these orders will take more time, so plan on an additional 7-10 days. If you have a specific in-house date don't hesitate to reach out and let us know!
