-

-
Maybe support the forum sponsors and go for some instinc gloves or if your after mainstream then m&h all the way.

my gloves are white
Thought they were blue and stripey!!!
-
Simmy, those gloves are the most, best looking things i have seen in a while. do you reckon he could do the stripes blue, or maybe pink?
and could i hastle you for a number?
-
he will have dark blue leather yeah 01924 278102
-
cheers, just what the doctor ordered!
-
He uses them, but is better in oven gloves....
-
Simmy got to admit mate, they are tasty. Wish I got some in white now.
By the way get a video of you using them on youtuuuuuuube
-
ryan took some vids 2night. with katchit bowling machine batting and keeping but i was shocking 2night lol tiered and lazy lol
-
Yup, i cant keep when i cant be bothered.
-
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 :)
-
Yeh, i will be following simmys advice, as the neww look GW ar better looking than the old ones.
-
I have Wymers mate and they are really good, just took me some getting used to and I am always chop and changing gloves.
Might get myself some in white as well
-
simmy, is the face white aswell?
-

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
-
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
this sort of thing.
-
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
-
I'm placing a factory order next week for some Kangaroo Leather Gloves , if you are interested the PM me with your required palm colour.
-
how much they going for lekka?
-
£70.00 plus p&p , this is an offer price as I only have skins for 10 pairs (ish) of gloves.
-
can you provide pics? (sorry to be annoying). Also, what colour are the actual gloves?
-

I'm really not being funny, they are GN Legend gloves with the logo photoshopped off

Correct.
-
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?
-
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 ?
-
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 :)
-
So will the glove be unbranded or whos name will be on it?

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