Don't quite see why people like the m & h ones so much unless it's just because they look different. Tried them on and didn't think they were anything special plus can't see that material wearing well.

SS Dhoni (unfortunately..) LEs are very good gloves if you like the short cuff... :)
Also I've just bought some GM Original gloves (OSM cause it's Sri Lanka and everyone wants a huge catching area for some reason...?! - not watching the ball enuogh haha..) and they're really nice :)

But Simmy's Wymers look the nuts, doubt you can go wrong really, made to fit :)

If you get the Kook Reds get a review up though mate 8)

I emailed Simmy the same Johan , oven style gloves would be an excellent training product. Open the gloves out and "SIMMY" can be printed between both mitts :)

The video suggests the gloves face is pinstriped (white maybe silver with navy).

They are black palms mate, better photos here for you http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=9913.0

He only does black palms which is a shame really, although I don't know how hard it would be to get white rubber etc
Title: Re: Gloves
Post by: shazz on August 19, 2011, 09:00:04 AM
thanks, yeh, im not a fan of black on keeping gloves, thats a real shame. I might ask him and see if he can acquire some other rubber.

like this sort of thing:  http://www.seriouscricket.co.uk/shop/product.php/2141/767//3e41e5db4c20d3fa3183681834755f51

Thats a good spot mate, shame there is no white there!

Off the topic of customs, have you looked at the Woodstock keeping gloves? If white is your thing, they look very good

Title: Re: Gloves
Post by: Lekka Global Alliance on August 19, 2011, 09:16:36 AM
£70.00 plus p&p , this is an offer price as I only have skins for 10 pairs (ish) of gloves.
Title: Re: Gloves
Post by: shazz on August 19, 2011, 09:18:47 AM

Correct.

Post by: justnotcricket86 on August 19, 2011, 09:34:45 AM
Fair enough!

Well you will have some bloody nice keeping gloves on offer if you get that design using roo skin material. Will yours be gel palms as well?
Title: Re: Gloves
Post by: Lekka Global Alliance on August 19, 2011, 09:43:19 AM
The leather I have in stock is Pearl White (which I admit will not set the world a light colour wise) but can be interacted with palm colours.

Gel palms are an option but again based on the customers request (my glove maker is of Easton gloves Gel fame). Some folk like it and some don't.

How many pairs should I put you down for ?


Title: Re: Gloves
Post by: justnotcricket86 on August 19, 2011, 09:46:14 AM
Simmy's favourite gloves they were, and pearl white is a good colour.

I'll wait until you get some pics up etc. Just don't plaster them with Lekka, be subtle for once.

A better and close up image here.

This is not a Lekka product as it falls under the Alliance so rest assured you will find yourself warming to the product without all the XXXXXX's involved :)

At the moment I am leaning towards Xtrax to compliment the grips and anti scuff sheets.
