I was worried they wouldn't show up in time for GARF but they came today!  :)

I also recieved my leather clamshell gauntlets for WMA but I'll have to post those later after I re-lace them.  ;)

Thanks all!

@ Ivan, I got them from ByTheSwordInc.com http://www.bytheswordinc.com/ (http://www.bytheswordinc.com/). They are comparably priced and offer them in a wide array of colors. :)

I noticed that they are starting to offer customized pieces of armor...very cool.  I like your halfies...they go well on you.

Those will look great with the rest of your kit.

Nice, they will fit your kit rather well. Are they armor grade or LARP grade?

The cuff looks like it could be 10/12 oz leather...which would make it armor grade if the required pieces to support it are also in place.  Depends on the kingdom rules too; it would be for some but maybe not others.

SCA wise they are not enough out here (West) as they do not cover the thumb.

They are the armor grade 1/2 gauntlets but I use them more for show than actual fighting...I have the armor grade clamshell gauntlets for that. :)

I used a 1' square sheet of welded rings from the RingLord http://theringlord.com/cart/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=95&cat=Sheets+of+Chainmail&websess=23357577423045 (http://theringlord.com/cart/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=95&cat=Sheets+of+Chainmail&websess=23357577423045) and stiched along the cuff and cut the maille as I stiched the rest around the fingers. :)
