Hi Beccy,

am I right to guess that this is beccy from QLD who was at Dreamworld on the weekend.

Post up some photos of what you've got, everyone loves photos. :shadow:

Hope you have some luck finding a way to do the hard armour.
This will look awesome, though you'll cook in it. ;)

Cheers,
Joe

I think the gloves look good but I'm not an expert on the matter. In my quick reading of the CRLs they match what we're looking for. That being said...$75 for gloves...cold weather gloves for Down Under? I think you're trying to kill yourself :)

The only concern I would have is the stitching on the back of the palm... my understanding is the gloves for this should be smooth with no stitching there.

On a side note, winter gloves can be very uncomfortable (I have thinsulate gloves for full canon events) as this is an extremely hot costume.

From the CRL:
  • Black, leather or leather-like, enclosed fingered, non-textured, fitted gauntlet style.
  • No buckles, straps, or decorative stitching are permitted.
  • The three straight lines on the back of the hand (that match some references) are permitted.
That seems to cover all of that but honestly...EU is not my strength.

I would stick with a plain non-stitched backing gauntlet.
