In stock gauntlets at Best Armour
« on: 2009-10-13, 17:52:16 »
I'm inquiring about these gauntlets at www.bestarmour.com :

If they fit me, I'm definately buying them. The exchange rate is quite nice for hardened steel, and these will match my gothic harness quite well.

They have several other tempting in stock items as well:

Very nice! I hope they fit well, as they certainly look nice.

They have a nice set of Wisby's too. I'll have to keep them in mind.

You know between the two of you with your constant temptations, it's looking like I'll only be able
to afford to take my wife to that world famous Scottish restaurant for our anniversary... McDonalds!

They just got back to me. It looks like the gauntlets I wanted are too small, and their other in stock gauntlets are too big. However, he told me that delivery time for gauntlet orders is now for March 2010, so I'm seriously considering getting a pair of custom gothic ones.

That would be great! March isn't too bad, all things considered. I know I may end up waiting a year for my scabbards.

As long as they're not the type of armorers that give you a date, then slip another 6 months or more.

I decided to go with these:



Hopefully they live up to their estimated delivery time. March isn't all that far off.

Very nice! I especially like the way they do the fingers on those gauntlets.  :)

They contacted me and said they're ready to star working on my gauntlets a month early. They also, it turns out, are running a sale: Free installation of gloves with any gauntlet order (normally you have to install the gloves yourself), and they are willing to upgrade to spring steel for about $150 extra, which I definitely agreed to. With the current exchange rate, these things are going to cost roughly $900 in spring steel, which is a very good price:
