Looking For Someone To Make Custom Gloves (For A Costume)

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for someone to make some custom leather gloves for me, for a costume. Occasionally, I dress up as The Comedian from 'Watchmen' (long story), but the gloves I'm using just aren't right. I'd like to get something that looks much more like the ones used in the movie:

I know this is a bit of an odd request, but I'd appreciate anyone who could help. Thanks.

Gloves require a very specialized skill set and machinery. Very few leather crafter's make them. You may wish to improvise and buy a pair of motorcycle winter gloves for about $40 and cut the fingers off. Then simply paint the white decor with acrylic leather paint found at any tandy store. Best of luck.
