Hello all,
SO my brother is having a birthday and has set me the task of creating him some new gloves for him to use this season.
SO after listening to what he wants in a glove, and talking with my agent we have come up with this
(http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/ag230/jaknight14/slaix_zpsb643f284.png)
Most will know the design, it is a paint drawing that is very poor but is the easiest way to show what it will look like if you dont have appropriate software.
In essence, they will be entirely white except for the logo in the middle.
They will contain top notch protection for the fingers and thumb.
after showing the design to my club mates last night, many were impressed and asked me to order a pair or 2 in some cases.
I am a sucker for all white gloves as is my brother and most of my club.
Cant wait to see the end product in a few weeks

Look nice! Do you have a choice of leather for palms etc.?

Was offered a wide variety of palms and decided to go with a treated calf palm.
A calf leather palm which has been treated with a bio degradable solution.
Which offers supple leather with maximum grip
-
Any points for guessing your agent
-
Save yourself a lot of time and effort fella!

Was there a Pittards option of palm?
And I think I may regret this question.........but how much are these gloves costing you?
-
Only problem with stockist is the crazy postage charges, they were wanting 70 AUD for a set of gloves.
Pittards was an option hosk, but i went with my agents suggestion of supple leather.
Price per pair is $23.50 USD
-
Hope these wont need any modifications like with your custom bag. Good luck.
-
would not assume they will be in need of any modifications mate, probably wouldnt be practical to have wheels on gloves. Pads possibly, but not gloves
-
**UPDATE**
Just got off the blower with my agent. He has reduced the price of the gloves to $23.00 a pair and has started production.
-
Enjoy the $0.50 price reduction, will there be a reduction in quality to reflect this?
Looking forward to the glove modification thread now ;)
-
Odds on these being called the XGloves with PalmX Protection and Poron X-not-RD inside?
Only kidding ;) hopefully they'll come as you've ordered for your brother!

What's with the fingertip flap things? Guessing they're just not completed yet?

Ask James, the pictures are on his facebook!
-
What's the advantage of a biodegradable solution on the palms?
-
Or not having any straps on the cuffs?

So they're less harmful to the environment when you're asked to cut them up and burn them??
-
Good point!
-
The X on the right hand looks wonky.
-
Aside from the finger flaps and the no cuff straps.
I like them, quite minimal and classy And a pair of custom designed pair of gloves for about a score is pretty damn good i think. Can't go wrong.
Unless you get shafted like Rowan did of course...........

In all fairness they do look a lot better than most of what Lekka churns out, hope they go well for you mate
-
Thanks mate, they certainly look the part and i am sure my brother will be happy, after all they are for his birthday.
-
Well as i walked out the door today to the surgeon i received a package,
My brothers birthday gloves have arrived

My brother is very impressed and realistically his opinion is the one that counts
I am glad i got myself a set as well
-
Damn, those gloves look good, compared to the other ones on the Lekka website.
-
My agent has certainly excelled himself here

I reckon you are doing your 'agent' more harm than good with all the confusion as to your relationship with him. I don't believe that you are just a happy customer carrying on about your favourite brand, I also don't buy the story about how all of a sudden 5 of your teammates loved your glove idea so much they ordered some straight away. Me thinks its a batch order to be sold on.

More the manufacturer of the glove my friend, as most companies dont make there own gear they outsource to other manufacturers. This manufacturer was by far a better success than my custom bag which i had to modify.
On the above comment from "TW" they are my brothers gloves, was that too hard to see in the post
-
You bought your brother 6 pairs of gloves?
-
Fearlessfly won't be able to answer any more questions on this forum, sorry.
the Admin team have made the decision that the promotion of these product and the confusion on what is the truth has meant this and the other topic has descended into baiting and b.s.

You do realise that Lekka outsource too? It isn't James sat in the factory sewing them together Fly...
