Glove Question

Post by Kam_den_Vox »

Hey,

So I'm looking at the below gloves and I'm curious if they will be approved, or if they need to be darker. They're real inexpensive, so I'm hoping they work. Thoughts please

Thanks!

Leather is like Fabric - no two bolts will be exactly the same. These will work fine.

Hey Mate,

Where are you getting them from as I wouldn't mind getting a spare pair myself.

Found them at the link below. Only $25, had to see if they worked for that price.

Otto: Thanks for posting the link to Leather Mystics. I didn't even think to look there for gloves. My g/f's next costume will be an Ep. III Guard, once her Admiral Daala flightsuit costume is finished and approved.

Leather Mystics' gloves are very well made. I have a black pair for my Reserve Pilot/Imp. Crewman/Tie Pilot, and I
love them. They take wearing a few times to break in, but that's leather for you. Kinda like breaking in a new pair of shoes
or boots.

Thanks again!

For a ROTS Guard are a pair of Faux leather gauntlets passable until a leather pair can be found. International postage is more than the gloves cost, which make them expensive for 1 pair.

Hmmn might have to do another costume!

It will all depend on the look and colour of the gloves

These I have seen in person and come in this SHADE. It would be better to be closer to this SHADE

Agreed, These are the gloves I use and I needed to hit them with a coat of Fiebing's Oxblood dye.

Am i right in thinking then that a pair of gloves in Dark red/Wine/Burgundy would be better and more screen accurate?
