Afternoon Chaps,
As you know, 97no and myself have a thing for keeping gloves. Was looking at all the vintage gloves he was picking up, and long story short, I was out in touch with this mysterious Mr C who get's sent these gloves from various contacts he has.
These are Chris Read's keeping gloves, also picked up some of his whites and Choice keeping pads, but can't really take pics of them in the office!
They are simply bloody brilliant, soft as you like, look the nuts, and can't believe how cheap they are! Safe to say this man is going to get a lot more of my business. He also like a chat (rang him up and 45mins later, we are still talking about webbing and watching SA play)
Enjoy :)

so this is the bloke that makes the gloves? and these are a pair of Read's old ones?
how did you manage top get them
-
No he doesn't make them mate, there are a few chaps dotted around the country like Wymer etc who repair pro gloves, and he get's a load sent on. Read had 3 pairs of these, kept 2 I believe and these were passed on
Was passed his details by a chap from here, called him and asked what he had and got these. Recently had a pair of Foster's Warsops but I missed out on those
-
Awesome mate, can't beat the personal touch the Pro's get
-
Would kill for this contacts details! ;)

Tooo right mate, and the guy really knows his stuff
You may well get them via PM toenails ;)
-
That would be much appreciated mate! :D
-
Very very very nice keeping gloves!
-
They're class mate, I just want someone in the office to start launching apples at me just so I can use them
-
Haha! I doubt I'll keep much this year but seeing these really makes me want to get some more gloves. Really smart indeed
-
Cheers for the pm will!

That takes me up to 5 pairs now, will have to get a picture of them up eventually
No worries mate
-
Can you say a price mate?
I'm also very interested in this, is he happy to give contact details out as I might give him a bell
-
thats a while ago when he used choice kit he was very fussy about gloves
-
I can see why mate, these are perfect to be honest!
-
new choice ones are better than those :o
-
Have you tried them then? They're the same as the Chase ones.
How are they better then?
-
more softer and great cuping on them and a better fit than ones u have
-
Robinsons made then they are great
-
Nice looking gloves there mate!
-
more softer and great cuping on them and a better fit than ones u have
A better fit for who? I'm assumin you've tried both gloves then?
Do find it quite funny that you say a glove has better cupping when you've not worn the ones I have, which actually cup very naturally. Bore off

I think Dean is in a good position to compare, as he has close ties with choice cricket. So he would have tried them both on.

Yer you're jumping the gun here Will! Dean is very good mates with Gary at choice and I can guarantee he would have tried both on mate. Have you not seen its a double sponsored section of Vulcan and Choice???
