Members K327 Posted July 8, 2016 Members Report Posted July 8, 2016 I'm trying to create gloves for a cosplay. I can buy the correct gloves, but I'm not ready to jump in and purchase $60 gloves if I can figure out how to do it myself. I attached a picture (not mine) of what the gloves look like. It doesn't have to be exact, but it needs to have that v shape, the ribbing and the suede on the fingers. Do you think it's possible for me, being new to all this, to modify a pair of similar gloves? Is it better for me to take a simple pair of gloves (like these: https://www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-Motorcycle-Clothing-Company-Gauntlet/dp/B004C444V6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1467987812&sr=8-2&keywords=gauntlet+leather+gloves) Or is it better to find something similar like this and modify it: https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Leather-Gauntlet-Motorcycle-Riding/dp/B019T5QD7A/ref=sr_1_47?ie=UTF8&qid=1467987924&sr=8-47&keywords=gauntlet+leather+gloves Thank y'all for the help!

Members Wild Bill46 Posted July 8, 2016 Members Report Posted July 8, 2016 Not Impossible at all ! But a huge undertaking for a newby. Without the proper skillset yet. might be impossible indeed ? --------- Wild Bill Quote
Members Nuttish Posted July 8, 2016 Members Report Posted July 8, 2016 Lol $60 vs. learning how to make gloves. Quote
Members Colt W Knight Posted July 8, 2016 Members Report Posted July 8, 2016 I bet you will spend A LOT more than 60$ making your own set. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted July 8, 2016 Report Posted July 8, 2016 Not to discourage the creative nature of a fellow leather lover,but....if you just need them for cosplay..... You could find something similar at an off brand motorcycle apparel shop for 10 to 15 bucks. Quote
Thor Posted July 9, 2016 Report Posted July 9, 2016 All it takes is a household sewing machine and the right pattern. Of course some measuring will be needed as well. Those patterns and advises should help you https://www.pinterest.com/pin/AW6XfTv5MAeRB66KP8qTn7VqqjxW-k7ufghqVSYfAvvm_fVn0MPqRLo/ https://www.pinterest.com/pin/557461260106963529/ https://www.pinterest.com/pin/557461260105785811/ http://hubpages.com/art/Leather-Work-How-to-Make-Leather-Mittens-Leather-Gloves Including a how to video Good luck Quote
MADMAX22 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Posted July 10, 2016 Why does everything have to be on pinterest? Dont feel like giving access to all of my phone and email accounts to them. Quote
