K327 Report post 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!

bikermutt07 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thor Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
