Members pedantic0 Posted November 18, 2013 Members Report Posted November 18, 2013 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: http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/21500000/The-Comedian-watchmen-21507912-2560-1714.jpg http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/21600000/The-Comedian-watchmen-21659978-2000-1339.jpg http://www.figures.com/forums/news/9601-mms115-watchman-comedian.html (the thumbnails at the bottom have some good views) I know this is a bit of an odd request, but I'd appreciate anyone who could help. Thanks. Quote
Members mmirob Posted February 20, 2014 Members Report Posted February 20, 2014 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. Quote
