| Carmimari. http://www.carmimari.it
Their website doesn't seem to work for me.
They sell it in red and black or yellow and black and it has "Carmimari" and "The Boss" embroidered on it. Bossalini being their main sponsored fencer.

| Here you go, I made a good guess and found it. http://www.carmimari.com/shop/home.php
I make a lot of shopping cart sites...I guess everyone uses the same naming conventions, even in Italy Of course, I'm not sure how willing I would be to purchase from a site with such an obvious oversite on their home page. *shrug*

| I think the site is currently under development as it was completely different a couple months ago. They probably don't want anyone seeing it until it's finished

| There were some black gloves on one of the vendor's tables at Nationals. Regular fencing gloves, not coach's ones. Zivkovic, maybe? One of the smaller vendors, anyway ( ie not Blade, BG, Absolute, PBT or LP ). On the left side of the room as you walked in.

| Yeahhh, I really loved the fit of these particular gloves. It's so hard to find a good epee glove for someone with real thin/narrow wrists. I'm sooo dying to make my own one day.
Hrmmm, and that italian sight... It all readys like a spaghetti menu to me, hrmmmph. And I can't find the actual gloves on there, has anyone else? The catalogue is a listing of like computer programs, washers and driers and everything else, but fencing stuff, darn.

| I think, like DangerMouse said, they're still developing. Probably greatly annoyed at nosy people like me poking around. But then, a simple Under Construction message would do the trick.
I really liked the looks of the gloves too, but I don't think I have the moxie to pull off the look. I'll have to stick to my unassuming white gloves for a couple more years. | |

| No, I guess I was wrong, then---the ones I saw were all black.

| I suppose so, but having a single black glove I'd hardly think is the same thing.

| Maybe. Where do you draw the line, though.
You're wearing a black glove. That's OK. And black socks. That's supposed to OK, too. Now black shoes. And one of those black lamés. And a black mask. Still OK?
Is it ONLY a black jacket that's out? Or black jacket and knickers?
I'd rather stick with white. The question never arises then.

| Huh. I heard in some fencing magazine that team colors in fencing would be a great idea. In Football, basketball, ect, every fan loves the colors of their favorite team.
That way the audience would know which country, state, is fighting who and not get mixed up.
