Starting my Scout: Gloves

[Guest Manbrolorian]

Finally getting started on my TB. I wanna start with something really easy, so why not gloves?

 

I'm going to be using these as a base;

And modding them, using this picture as my reference;

If you guys have any suggestions, or helpful tutorials, I'd really appreciate them.

Thanks!

Vicky did some modifications on hers, so could be worth to check out: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=10573&st=0&p=89299entry89299

PLOT TWIST.

 

I got these gloves, instead.

It looks like all I need to do is take off one of the bands, remove the straps, and add the V stitching. Easy peasy.

Those look alot better than the first pair. Didn't know how you were gonna mod that horizonal zipper.

I got lucky and found this pair on eBay:

 

Here's how they turned out:

 

I'd love to tell you how I modded the wrist part, but I just paid a friend $25 to do it. She's got an industrial sewing machine and has worked with leather before. I know the suede is just glued down with E6000.

Okay, they've arrived!

 

The gauntlet part is a little big on my arm, but I think that when I get my flight suit, they'll fit a little better.

 

Unfortunately for me, the gloves have six bands. Any suggestions on how to remove/replace them with the required four?

 

Straps. These suckers have to go.

 

All-in-all, these are really good gloves, and I'm happy with my purchase. I'm off to do a little research, now.
