Are u saying Malaysia is full off fraudsters? Watch your words okay.. Im Johorean + Singaporean okay, and i know well about both country.

Seems like you have totally misunderstood the post there, he seems to be defending the country not attacking it!

sothos2 · « **Reply #16 on:** December 14, 2011, 12:34:31 AM »

its okay to defend, but don't compare with other specific country.. Most malaysian and Indonesian will surely be offended by his words...

Never understand why people take things like this? Blatantly not trying to offend anyone and taken completely out of context...

i'm not trying to offend anyone, but it's not easy to buy forgeries of any discription in Singapore, whilst knock offs of just about anything are available in malaysia, thailand, indonesia and the like. I've lived here for 13 years and my mother is malaysian, i'f got a fair idea of what the area is like .. if not the small mindedness ;-) Have you ever tried to bribe a Singaporean policeman? good luck with that!

sothos2, calm down, no need for it, i dont think he meant anything like that! just that he is likely to be okay.

@sothos2 let me know how you get on, beforehand the best supplier i knew of here was Pritam at cotton and willow, but its at best a limited selection, and i mainly purchase from the UK where, i both know and trust suppliers from when i was still living there and the VAT reduction covers my shipping costs

Guys,

Thanks to all who gave advice, specially contacting Laver and Wood, who forwarded my details onto Orinav, who responded to my e mails.
They didn't realise people could access the site and make purchases as it wasn't supposed to be up and running for another month or so.
As I've paid they are going to send me the gloves. I guess I owe it to them to do a review on them when i get them.
At least you guys in that area will have somewhere to shop.

I've had the humble pie with salt on to make it less tasty, good job I didn't say I'd eat the gloves if they turned up. lol

Well a pair of gloves arrived today. Not quite the ones I ordered, SG Supakeep but in white and silver not the red and black ones. Initially disappointed but having tried them and done what most keepers do, worn them, looked at them, tried them with inners, caught a couple of balls in them, they're beginning to grow on me. The only thing i can't do in them is type.
I will try and post some pictures of them once I get photo booth sorted (or my son does).

I need to confess that I got the red ones as well from cricmart in the states, super quick delivery, will picture them as well.

There confession over. Kit obsession continues.

Pictures as promised

What do you think?

thecord · « **Reply #27 on:** December 19, 2011, 11:58:27 PM »

Not a fan of the red ones but the white and silver look quite smart. How much did each of these set you back?

97notout · « **Reply #28 on:** December 20, 2011, 12:14:26 AM »

The white were $80USD (about �52) thats including postage from Orinev and the red ones from crickmart USA around �90 including tax and postage. Okay a little expensive but thats the way it goes. Both pairs are really supple and hopefully will get better.
I'm a bit of a kit freak and collect keeping gloves like some people collect bats. I think I'm in a good place though, everyone on here seems to be the same.

I think I also need to change the title of the thread to 'Kit obsesive keeper panics when he makes multiple purchases' I definately wasn't ripped off I was just impatient. lol

Good that it worked out for you. Be careful of cricmart though---they are highly unreliable when it comes to the authenticity of their higher end products. SG and SS products should be good enough.
