He's right, it technically needs to lace shut. It's rare you see someone go to this level of effort to get it right though.

Sir Wolf:
so I finally got a pair of the GDFB mittens. I attached them to my hauberk and wasn't really happy with the oven mitt look. so i took the mail of the right mitten and cut it down a little. then i sewed it back up. does look too bad. it does pull on the hand when you try to hold a sword. i think this is because off the location of the thumb. it needs to be down from the side sorta inset in the palm. but it was worth the money and time to do it this way for now. :) here are the mittens. the left side is original while the right one is sudo finished. not bad for less than 2 hours of work i think.

Sir Edward:
Yeah, I can see the difference. Good idea!

Sir Brian:
Great customization job! The correction looks much better.  :)

Sir Wolf:




finished. very happy with the outcome. I do wish the thumbs were inset, but oh well :) another project down!
