Reading the post on Sourcing softs,I wondered as to what ever happened to this brand ?   Remember they were very top end,both gloves having an extra overflap on the first two fingers..I remeber Glenn Turner and Dennis Amiss promoted......I googled and found this too-Fellow posters of an age will enjoy   http://thewastedafternoons.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/the-history-of-english-cricket.html

IIRC, the Arcass brand was named after  Rodney Cass a former Worcs wicket keeper. Their kit was very nice, I had a pair of their batting gloves in the late 80s. Chris Broad also used their gloves and pads when he first played for England in 84.

I think their problem was one, getting volume of sales and secondly having it manufactured in England when most other pads and gloves came from India and were much cheaper.

The Slazenger 5 star that Boycott is promoting was my first proper bat.
