| There were purple Armour Two gloves for a while.. might try emailing Craig to see if he has any left.
Oh, and Vniti sells the all-black gloves, which are kind of cool. | |

The problem with a custom color like pink (which graig initially wanted from me, by the way) is that my maker requierd a 100 unit order of that color before dying the material...a bit too large of a color when it's one I don;t know how well will sell.
i currently have gloves in yellow, orange, blue, red, purple, and dark green (seeing how they sel)....depending on the required size.
as for black, I have three units in black....but I'm reserving those for coachs, since that's the traditional color. i won't sell a black glove otherwise. |

I got my first prototype sabre combo glove in a wek or so ago. Needs a little fine tuning (actually, my maker needs to pay attention to my instructions....I give them for a reason!), but the errors are correctable (turnover wasn't big enough....forgot the elastic in the cuff)...i should have a small supply out next year sometime... | |

Any idea on cost? I'm sure it will be very reasonable.

I know how much the gloves will cost per unit when completed...I know how much lame material I'll get for $100....what I don;t know (yet...waiting for a return emal) is how many gloves that amount of lame will make. Once I find that out I can figure out my real per unit costs and figure my retail from there.
But I'm not going to rape anyone on the glove costs...
I have 2 units being upgraded to be legal right now (they came from my original samples)...I thing they are a purple LH 8.5 and a red RH 8.5....they should be done next week. | |
