My compulsive purchase arrived today
« on: November 20, 2012, 03:39:11 PM »

A week ago my Kit aquisition syndrome kicked in. Just when I thought I was getting better, I had a moment and bought these off a trusted source.
They were Alec Stewarts gloves that he wore on one of his tours to Australia.

I now have these for next season


Spoilt for choice, which is nice isn't it?, please tell me it is.



They were made by Geoff Wymer and have a couple of custom alterations to Alec Stewarts specifications. They are so so supple :)

Very good, if I'm not mistaken you are Pete when it comes to wicket-keeping gloves, no ?

Very nice, are you looking at using them or just for display? I think the rules on the T webbing have changed since those were made.

Nice find, what are the customisations that have been made?

The webbing on these gloves appears to be no different from my kooks silvers. I wore the other pair of Slazengers for half of last season with no complaints.

The customising consists of  an extra piece of leather sewn in at the base of the thumb and the webbing is apparantly to his specifications
