Honestly...I've never seen such a good looking pair...imagine the force you could generate in a blow wearing those!

I've emailed him some questions about the gauntlets. I'm really curious about these now!

The stiching on these is excellent! Ed is he going to install gloves for the buyer?

That's one of the questions I asked. I'll let you all know when he replies. :)

That'd be good to know...although I imagine you could just toss on a pair if necessary?

OK, here's his response and a couple pictures he included:

Hi Ed,

I make fully gloved version. I can buy some leather gloves and sew them in the gauntlets or You can send me here to my home your gloves and I would install them.

Yes, black leather is available. I attach some pictures with black leather gauntlets.

The dimensions such as width, length, size, circumferences of the cuffs, length of the straps etc depend on You because I make every element of those gauntlets.

How wide would You like to be the cuff and how long ?

All the best,

Leoric

Those are really awesome, and the price sounds remarkably good. 11 gauge cuffs sounds ridiculously heavy, though, particularly if they're also going to be covered with leather, so you may want to ask if you can get a lighter gauge.

Allan, what type of gloves did you use in those gauntlets I ordered last year? (The fingered gauntlets http://www.merctailor.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=43 (http://www.merctailor.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=43))  I remember you said you were trying something new. I just want to say, these are really great! I'm wondering if this fellow could use the same sort of glove.

Indeed, we are. We're very good at spending other people's money. :)

I will NOT be assimilated!  lol

Eventually I imagine you guys'll turn me...nothing like standing around a bunch of plate-armored knights while in maille that'll give a knight a new outlook.  lol

When I first started goin to MDRF, all I wore was a maille vest, gauntlets and a surcoat!
