The width of GLOVE RIBS

[Fulcrum0025]

Could u guys please help me measure the width of the four ribs on the glove?

My tailor has made it look weird, and when I urged him to modify, he demanded me to provide the measurings.

BTW how can I send more photos on this forum? A total limit of 47kb isn't enough for one complete picture.

We don't have infinite storage space on the site, so you'll need to use external photo hosting. See this thread for more info: https://forum.501stpathfinders.com/topic/23053-faq-how-do-i-post-images/

As for the gloves, can I ask why you're getting them custom made? There are numerous vendors who supply nearly exact replicas of the esprit glove, including KeepTrooping, who is based out of China.

至于手套，我能问问你为什么要定制它们吗？有许多供应商提供几乎完全相同的 esprit 手套复制品，包括总部位于中国的 KeepTrooping。

Thanks! I'll look into the photo storage system!

As for the gloves, I choose custom made because this tailor had an experience in dealing with 501st gloves (He made gloves for a TK guy once) and I choose to put my trust in him. And btw, it cost me less.(It's about 35$ for a pair) Those ACG lovers made cosplay custom making services cheaper. 

Also, I would very much like to share my resources if the goods could meet your standards.

As for keeptrooping, I always thought they were Americans. It wasn't until recently that someone told me they were Belgians living in China doing export business. It should save me some worries on shipping if I decide to get something from them.

Your call, but the biker scout glove market isn't really one that's craving new vendors. Just ask John/plagu3is, who is still sitting on a stock of beautiful esprit replicas that he commissioned a few years back.

The glove itself is tricky to replicate, due to the padding and seams. And anyone looking to clear privately made Esprit gloves is going to be evaluated against the high level of accuracy that's currently available on the market.

Again, if you want to put the effort into duplicating something that's already available, that's your call, but IMO that time, energy, and cost may be better used elsewhere.

Thanks for the interpretation but I'm not trying to make a potential vendor.I'm preserving the valuable resouses for those who find a costume as a financial burden, because I'm in an environment with little support from the predecessors, and most of the Chinese Garrison members choose to buy a whole set instead of DIY. 

And I could really use that rib width if it is not so inconvenient.XD Thanks a lot for your help!

There are 4 raised ribs, approximately 8mm-1cm wide
