BicycleTrooper Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I've been searching and high and low.. Does anyone think it's possible to buy/mod vinyl (faux-leather) gloves that could be 501 approved? Does anyone have gloves that aren't leather? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiling Fox Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I suppose it's possible to have them approved but I have never heard of anyone making them. They would probably have to be custom made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I'm not sure you'd be able to find a pre-existing glove on the market close enough to the Scout glove to mod. We probably would have discovered it already! You may want to contact Wampa Wear or Sith Armory and see if they can do a special order for you. I'm assuming you are doing this for ethical reasons and not to save money? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wide Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Just saw a Facebook Post of Wampa Wear with a Picture of faux leather gloves they made as a special order. So it seems like they do such special Orders! If you find a pair I would be very interested to see some Pictures and how they compare to leather.

BicycleTrooper Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Thanks everyone. Yeah, contacted Wampa Wear and just posted that pic. Just need to know if it will be 501 approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 I can't see why not. A lot of costumes allow faux leather. Including the Scout. We allow faux suede for the thigh patches and the boots are made from vinyl even though the screen ones were leather. For Basic, appearance is more important than material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Azman with WW contacted me about vinyl gloves. If they look the part, you'll have no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Here are the images I received from Az at WW on the gloves. I suggested he add a faux suede-like material to the fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
