				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. 
 
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.
