gauntlet mounting...

Dragonlover:
Okay, so I have this sweet stainless pair of finger gauntlets and have to figure a way to
attach them to a pair of gloves without resorting to " the mitten tactic" whereby I'd lose
all the finger dexterity. Any suggestions anyone? ???

Sir Wolf:
got a picture of the gauntlets? or ones like them? do they move on leather for the finger articulation?

Dragonlover:
Yes Sir Wolf, each one of the fingers is attached to a strip of leather running the length of the finger. They are the gothic finger gauntlets by Armstreet. Well-made,
just no attaching options.....

Sir Wolf:


like this?

ok heres what you do. u need to sew your finger tips to the ends of the leather on the finger lames. you can do this by getting a sewing awl from wal mart or jo ann fabrics etc. just stitch it to it.  some people also stitch where the palm straps touch on the gauntlets as well, so the glove does not move, other people don't stich the palm area but choose to rivet the cuff of the glove to the bottom edge of the duff of the gauntlet.

Dragonlover:
Yep, that's them! Sounds like a good plan. What type of stitching material should I use?
Going to have to be something strong, yet able to be "stitched" through the glove.... :)
