Title: Re: Custom made gloves
Post by: crobbo on November 08, 2010, 11:31:26 AM: Just to clarify the situation about the gloves.

Geoff Wymer makes the gloves for V Sports. He is based in West Yorkshire.
Graham Plimmer also makes custom gloves, and does so for some county pros.

Title: Re: Custom made gloves
Post by: mwood on December 29, 2010, 03:47:00 PM: Yeah rumour has it he makes Prior's. All I can say is the ones I've got from Geoff's seem pretty tidy.

That they are.... that they are...
Title: Re: Custom made gloves
Post by: justnotcricket86 on January 12, 2011, 02:05:29 PM: Just put my order in with Geoff Wymer over the phone (got there in the end, him and the wife were arguing about slippers in the background..comedy gold)

Sending my hand prints off today with requirements, and will let you know what they are like.

And yeah, he does make pros gloves. Just couldn't tell me who they were for obvious reasons!
Title: Re: Custom made gloves
Post by: Simmy on January 12, 2011, 02:09:03 PM: night have to hard a word with him he only lives 5 mins away if still in ossett.

how much will?
Title: Re: Custom made gloves
Post by: justnotcricket86 on January 12, 2011, 02:14:02 PM: Yeah he's still in Ossett mate, down the road from you isn't he? Top bloke to speak to, proper old timer.

It's £65 with £3 odd postage so I just said £70 as it's a nice round figure. I can't see my hands growing much more mate, so may as well invest. The kooks I was going to buy are the same price.

Plus, you can have Simmy on the cuff ;) went for the all black, long cut myself

Post by: 19reading87 on January 13, 2011, 08:43:18 PM: His wife was brilliant when I rang him Last year!

"heeeelllllooooooooooooooo" she answered in a deep yorkshire accent.

Then when I asked for Geoff all I heard was

" Geoff, it's for you... AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

hahahahaha God bless them
