As I like having sets I also bought gloves. The gloves are simply awesome! Even though palm is of fake pittard it feels very nice and is very soft. Protection wise they are obviously test quality. Now I am really rating MB and their products very high. Comparing these glove to other Pakistani brands or Indian or even Asian they seem to be a bit better or a good as them. I would hesitate by saying that these gloves might be best Pakistani brand gloves. I have wore all Leading Pakistani brands top level gloves (AM, AS, CA, Ihsan, Boom Boom and now MB) and I fond them to be best ones after CA and Ihsan. Rest are good but these three are on top.
Again feel free to ask any question you have got
Enjoy the pictures!

Those gloves are by a mile the best Pakistani ones I've seen, I have a prototype pair here from last year that were for Afridi before he joined Boom Boom and they are superb.
-
I was in Pakistan at MB's factory when these were made and thought at that time that they are the best gloves available after seeing all the other gloves available from other brands in Pakistan.
CA will soon be releasing their pittard gloves, lets see How they weigh up against MB gloves.
MB gloves will be in stock soon

Are they Pittard's or just a copy of the pattern?
-
you will soon find out after wearing them and seeing if your hand is covered in black dye when you have sweated in the ma bit! I would hazzard a guess at a copy of the pattern personally but maybe proven wrong.
-
sorry, but what is pittards?I think my gloves have them;if not, what a pitty. :-[
-
its a type of leather thats made over here in yeovil....if your gloves have it there will be a tag on them saying official pittards leather. Its a softer but more hard wearing version of leather thats used in stead of calf skin.
-
Hi Golders - the easiest thing to explain would be for you to surf around on this website: http://www.pittardsleather.com/
That will explain it better than I can!
Usually if your glove has a pittard leather palm it will have a logo on it saying so - the top of the range Kook's have them as to the GM original LE and the Redback gloves, I am sure others do too.
Edit: Tom do the Ayrtek gloves have them too?
-
cheers Buzz
-
Buzz...we have a pittards style palm as its not a cheap material to add to the gloves hence why the kooks, GM's etc all fetch a price tag of £50+
Its a softer feeling leather than the calf skin version but something Im looking at including with the gloves when the ACIS is inserted back into them for the ultimate in protection and comfort model...with a price to match!!!
-
Tom - good luck with that - I suspect you will be squeezing your margins again!
-
I was talking to Malik today and did mention him about Pittard palms in his gloves. In response he told me he does have genuine pittard lying around but he had forgotten to add that to my gloves. However, he said he will pass me a pair soon.

how much did you pay for the bats pads and gloves combo if you dont mind me asking ?

THe only problem is that I can not disclose the price of bat with you. I was told by Mr. Malik that I shouldn't disclose it (So sorry).
-
:o
-
I wouldnt think he would want you to share those costs with people on a open forum if im honest with you either as people will expect them at those prices as well if they get to find them out :)
-
Make sense Tom (Have edited the post as you said). Thanks :)
-
I would think those prices would be something special that he offered you mate as you seem to have a good relationship with him.....mates rates if you got them direct from the factory :)
-
can you disclose the retail prcies at least for the bat?

Actually my dad friends (who has been with team for sometime) referred me to him.
thebd11, bat retails for 114.15 GBP

I bought some from sialkotshop.com
And I would say they are just as good, if not better than the Boom Boom 5* gloves I bought from Armie.
-
How was sailkotshop.com service, Wazza?
-
Service is top class CD. I bought a couple of things from him. He was always available.
-
Cover_Drive, I found them surprisingly helpful.
And they were always on hand to answer any queeries I had.
-
JazakALLAH Khair, Opener and Wazza. I appreciate it!
Did any of you buy bats from him?
Also Wazza are your Bubber Sher gloves the reds one or same as mines?
-
Mine are the black/red ones.
Got matching pads as well.
-
Your gloves have white palm, right? If so is it genuine pittard?
-
yep. thought they would be fake, but they are in fact genuine.
makes it an ever better bargain!
-
Does it have a small 'pittard' tag on them? If you don't mind can you post some pictures, please?
Thanks!
-
Hi, I have green Bubber Sher Gloves, I think they look awesome in this colour, I hop ethey are genuine, lol
-
Green?! Where did you get them from?
Can you post pictures as well?
-
Pics to follow, my brother got them from sialkot
-
Malik factory? When are you going to get?
If you don't mind me asking did you get anything as well?
-
I have them with me at home, just need to take pics
He got me loads of stuff,
MB Zulfi, MB Sher Amin, MB Bubber Sher Bats,
MB Zulfi, Sher Amin, Bubber Sher Gloves,
MB Sher Amin, Bubber Sher Pads
and loads more accessories
PS. I love the MB Zulfi suprisingly it is one of the best bats I have used, I was gonna initially use it as a net bat but I seemed to have taken a real liking to it.
-
Very nice gloves there, loving the black palms

sounds good. Why not post picture of everything? I am sure people will be interested in seeing them.
I bought my cousin a Sarfi which is similar to zulfi I would say and I must say it is really good bat for its quality and price. Definately looks better than nets bat.
Thanks in advance for the pictures :)

Here you go, will take pics of other gear soon!!
Let me know what you think of this colour :)
-
Looks beautiful mate. I really like them better than the one I have.
These gloves match really well with Bubber Sher LE bat whereas the one I have match well with Bubber Sher (sticker version).
Just wondering did you also get green Bubber Sher pads as well?
Once again great gloves. I really liked them. Hopefully I will get them as my next gloves.
-
Are those gloves with pittards? genuine yeovil i mean :)
-
I think it is pittard but not genuine
-
no they are not pittard, but a still a soft material, I havent used them yet, I think I will use them next year insha allah
-
its immitation pittards or indian pittards as its sometimes referred to..same stuff as what we have used on ours just a softer leather than the calf skin thats normally used
-
Ah okay but whatever it is it feels nice :)
I have heard the ones which have white palm (they are red for now) have genuine pittard palm.
-
how do you get the colour then, just a simple dye job?
-
yeh which is the hazzard of using gloves with coloured palms and immitation pittards as its just dyed, genuine pittards leather wont run or discolour as its done to such a high standard with these type of gloves you may find that your hand comes out the colour ofthe gloves ???
-
Is tha why you don't dye yours? And is the black on the sodas gnuine pittards, samefor the red salixs? Basically,cAn you dye genuine pittards?
-
genuine pittards will be sent direct from yeovil to the manufacturer in the desired colour scheme, the gloves will also have a tag on them stating that genuine pittards has been used in them
-
Yer a mate got the woodworm ones with genuine pittards and IMO it's worth it
-

Sounds true. Have used my GM LE gloves quite a few times and have never seen any sign of discoulouring although colour of GN grip is coming onto gloves.
once I use I will keep you guys updated and see whether the colour is coming off or not.
