Members OnslaughtSports Posted October 5 Members Report Posted October 5 Looking to make (padded leather) boxing gloves in the US. An extremely difficult skill, perhaps the most difficult. I have several workers who are ready to be trained. You can either be paid upfront for your guidance or collect a royalty per pair of gloves sold, we can figure out the numbers. If you've never done it, here is a video on making ordinary boxing gloves:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNqjMnPVV5Q and here is a video on making high-end boxing gloves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmhT9eMXNxs Most leather workers I've approached have admitted upfront they have zero chance of making gloves 😮 Quote

Members NerdyLeather Posted 38 minutes ago Members Report Posted 38 minutes ago Boxing gloves are a whole different beast compared to normal leather projects. The patterning, the curved seams, the padding placement, and the break in feel all take a lot of trial and error. Even experienced makers get intimidated by them. You might have better luck finding someone who has worked on motorcycle gloves or heavy sports gear. Those folks already understand layered padding and tight curves, so the jump isn’t as huge. With clear patterns and a training period like you mentioned, it’s doable, just not something most casual leatherworkers will touch. Quote
