IF he can get white, then I'll have white too......so that he feels the white is worth getting?

[Simmy]

Do you find as they are custom they are much smaller than gloves off the shelf?

So do you think te catching area is smaller???

[justnotcricket86]

I do Reds yes, very snug, only need some thin cotton inners as I like to feel the ball anyway

[19reading87]

I'm thinking about getting some thinner inner this season for mine...

Phoned Geoff today as he has white leather in stock!!
He can only do the actual catching bobbly area in black or red.
So was think black catching palm area. And mostly white apart from that, with some black bits to break up the white?

Possibly kind of similar to below?.....................



Obviously the reason to get gloves custom/hand made are so that you have the gloves which fit........erm.....like a glove!
So any ideas about style would be appreciated?

Geoff is a legend! He started working for Slazenger producing all types of leather goods and made keeping gloves for Russel, Stewart, Taylor, Prior, Read the list of pros goes on. More recently hes made the bags and putter covers for the Ryder Cup 2010.

I'm on my second pair of gloves from Geoff, only because the first pair were stolen 16 years ago when I left them in my car, my current pair are now 16 years old and although I've had a few years forced away from the game and even from keeping they are still brand new on only ever needed refacing.

Sod all this namby pamby flashy colours if you want a pair of gloves which are made to measure and will last for years (Geoff will even add more or less padding where ever you need) them get in touch with him.

I can highly recommend going to pick them up as he has some amazing stories to tell too
