Title: Strettons en route
Post by: wilkie113 on November 16, 2013, 08:35:05 PM
Well boys and girls I finally gave in!

I contacted George around a week ago, and what can I say that hasn't already been said by other people. We had a phone call about sizes, and what is possible with the bespoke side (near enough anything) and I said to George I'd have a think about what I wanted. Anyway I settled on standard shape, as the printouts sat perfect. I emailed back a day or so later and talked to George about what I wanted he then sent a little mock up of the plan and I loved it. I received pictures of the finished article this afternoon and what else can I say apart from they look absolutely amazing! Everything is truly a 100/10 service dealing with him.

Can't wait to get these in my hands!
Here's the pictures

I never said it was a bad thing, my bank manager is probably very grateful you swayed me into buying them actually  :-[

My aeros were £30 I think and have fallen apart after a season use. So seemed ridiculous to keep buying something like that when I could get these and have them for a playing career.

Quality mate, love the danger mouse theme. Is that a nick name at cricket or just a cool idea put into practise?

Well they arrived.

I've been fighting with them for about half hour to shape them, and they are now snug as a bug in a rug, and my Dad think's I'm a prized bell end because I've been walking around in them smacking myself with my mallet haha!
