That's my boy!!! Good job Scott!
In case you didn't know Jedi-Bob, this is Scott. He's the other half of the Boba Fett boots with me.

Really interesting project. Like I tolk Jango_Wes in private, these ones are going to be cool for the guys who can't afford for S1 gloves or don't have a pair of those...or just to simply have an extra pair as a backup just in case.

Can't wait to see the prototype!

Robert

The ESB gloves are grey. Here's a pic:

there's the patches on the gloves- (pre-production) if you want-(not screen accurate though)
don't have images downloaded-
they are here:
http://www.jedi-academy.com/fett_other.html

WOOO HOOO someone is makeing Pre-pro gloves!!! You have no idea how happy I am that I don't have to make these on my own! Those are the right patches but they were dyed brown. Right after DC I will take a pair with patches if you could dye them that would be cool if you cant not a big deal.

EXCELLENT!

I think the RotJ was light grey. I also think the patches should be white and we can then weather them to our own tastes.

Fastenings? a button is accurate, but velcro would be easier to get on and off at cons/troops, etc, and is more adjustable than a zip.

A couple of inches past the wrist would be good IMO

Number of sections on the patches? Hang on, I'll dive into the ref CD. Back in a mo.........

OK here's a fairly good pic of the glove from the Ref CD (Thanks Braks & Secol):



Very light grey gloves. White, but dirty patches. 5 sections (4 lines of stitching) on the back of the hand patch. Don't forget the patch on the left hand is shorter than the one on the right.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.

I am very interested. Please keep us informed.

Im taking notes....so keep it coming. The ROTJ glove Light grey base w/ white detailng.
ESB Glove Darker grey w/ White detailing
5 section on the Forehand. w/ 4 Lines of stiching
The Pad on Left glove is shorter... How much shorter? Post A pic if you guys have it. cuz I didnt Know that!!!!
The cuff will be about 3.5 Inches past the wrist to insure that it stays put Inside the guantlets, with a velcro draw strap.... I can do a snap if you prefer.
One last question... would you prefer the glove lined or unlined.can offer it either way, using a soft satin type material for the liner. Also if you are doing a custom Mandalorian Characters costume I can/ will build to your Specs. IE: j Kast or????
MANDALORIAN OUTFITTERS

Liking what I hear so far.

Here are some pics showing the different sized patches I was on about. These are RotJ from the MOM pics on the Ref CD. I assume they are the same shape/size for all versions. No doubt an ESB or pre-pro officionado will chime in if I'm wrong .

Left Glove:





Right glove:




For a close-up of both pics, go to pics 297 and 298 on the BOBA FETT REF CD V1.0

Hope this helps.

Any idea of timescales or price? No worries if not, just let us know when you can.

Many thanks.

Again, I'd be cautious going by the color of the MoM or AOSW gloves if you are doing a Jedi pair. I don't believe the gloves in Jedi were as light as what we see at MoM or AOSW.

I'll have to dig up the photo again.

Of course if you are doing an SE suit, then the MoM/AOSW color would be just perfect.

Here are some pics of the pre-pro gloves from the referance CD. The left glove has the hour-glass shape patch going horizontial and the right has the line patch going verticle. The colors in the first pic are washed out, but the others are good.

Absolutely right TD. I put the pics up to show the patch shapes, not for colour reference - I should have said. I think they are too pale in the pics I posted (years of storage and washing etc I expect).

HERE'S A LINK TO PIC 27 on the ref CD which isn't great for colour referencing, but does show they aren't as light as the MOM pics. I think they were lighter than ESB, but not so light as MOM.

Look forward to seeing your pics Tyler!

Si

Yes, Han Hunter, that is one of the other pics I had in mind showing a slightly darker glove color than MOM. I like it because it is a still directly from the movie.

This behind the scenes image also shows a dark glover:

Nice shot! I think it's made ever so slightly darker due to the early morning light and the way the shadows are cast, etc, but clearly shows it to be much darker than MoM/AoSW.

Si

I will take a pair of ESB once they are ready to start shipping.

Fellow Hunters,
I will Have Pics Of The ROTJ version by end of Buisness today. Jango_Wes will be posting them. These Gloves are the PROTOTYPEs.
As well I will Have a Pic of the JODO KAST version.
As soon as I can determine the True Color of the PREPRODUCTION glove I will have those as well.
I am leaning towards a Dark Tan Base w/ An Off White or TAn Patterns. With The patches in a dyed Brown Color.
All of the folks that have helped me out with suggestion I thank you.
The Proto Gloves are Not Lined, But I will make the production Glove with Or without for an additional 7.00. The Liner is a very comfy Satin Material. it does make them cooler to wear for extented periods.
Thanks,
Scott, Mandalorion Outfitters

I think the Prepro gloves should be a dark brown with a lighter almost golden brown fingers and back with the dyed round patches. I really don't think off white is what it should be. Take a look at those pics I posted before in this thread. That is just my opnion and I could be wrong.

I'd be in for an ESB pair lined. Just as a little heads up for once they're ready for production.

EDIT: After looking at the Pre-pro pics, I think they look like a brown base with the fingers being such a light brown that they are almost white (Like a very dirty white). Just my opinion.

Don't look at that first pic I posted because all the colors are really washed out. Look at the 2nd and on. They look far too brown for them to be off white.

Fellow Hunters,

Ok I have had to remaster the Prototype, I felt that posting a pic of a glove that was not as correct as I think it should be was going to waste all of our time: So I thank you for your Patience on this.
Heres what we have
PRE PRODUCTION : EARTH BROWN W/ EGGSHELL TAN. FORHAND EMBLEMS BROWN.

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK: LIGHT GREY,W/WHITE

RETURN OF THE JEDIARK GREY, W/WHITE

JODO KAST: DARK GREY.W/ SEMI DARK GREY FOREHAND AND FINGER.

I WILL POST A PIC AS SOON AS I HAVE AN EXAMPLE OF EACH OF THESE VERSIONS. THE ESB, ROTJ, AND JODO. $30.00 ADD $7.00 FOR A LINER. PRE-PRO ARE LTD AVAILABILITY AND ARE $35.00 + 7.00 FOR A LINER. ALL GLOVES ARE MADE TO ORDER, AND A TRACE OF YOUR HANDS NEED BE INCLUDED W/ORDER. AS THESE ARE TALILOR MADE PLEASE ALLOW 2-3 WEEKS FOR DELIVERY.
YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO BUY A SET BUT PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHO AND WHAT VERSIONS YOU WILL LIKE. IF YOIU WANT MORE THAN ONE VERSION TAKE 3.00 OFF YOUR TOTAL. ALL GLOVES SHIPPED USPS PRYORITY(INCLUDED) INTERNATIONAL ORDERS PLEASE PAY ACTUAL SHIPPING

Put me down for a ROTJ pair.

Put me down for the Prepro set. Are the lined gloves going to be hotter to wear than the unlined?

I'd be interested in ROTJ, depending on the pics.

Remember that the shape of the forehand details are the same size for all versions....the left hand is shorter than the right hand. What it change in the versions are the colors and details (Pre-Prod. verion).

Robert

I am very interested on the ROTJ version. Would like to see pictures of the product first.

Wow, $30 - $35?! If you're willing to hand stitch on every accent and fingers (the way they are supposed to be done if accurate) for that little, more power to you!

Well, if a set of parade gloves are only $3-4 (like the pair I bought) That's a decent amount of profit, isn't it?
I am not a seamstress, so I am not sure what labor goes for for stuff like this. It just seems reasonable to me.

Very interested in RotJ pair, subject to pics.

Could you confirm a price to include a liner and international shipping to the UK?

Thanks,

Si

Hunters, The glove are inteneded to be as close to the film as we can get. they are made from scratch, and are NOT modified from a pre exsisting glove. they will be made to fit YOU and are done from a drawing and measurement of your hand. As for hand stiching YES they will all be hand stitched where applicable. If you are wanting an exact stitch by stitch replica of a film prop, accurate to the exact number of stitches per inch then I would say that these are NOT the glove. I will tell you that these gloves are intended to fill a gap far beyond a Parade glove. they will and do look film accurate. They are made By a professional seamstress.If a fan is close eneough to count the stitches on your fingers...they are WAY to close LOL! There are Other gloves available that are/may be More stitch for stitch accurate, and the price reflects that Accuracy. I have seen these said gloves and they are very nice,but Not everyone can afford such accuracy. I will let the pics speak for themselves. If you want a set of gloves that Look, very. very close to the film gloves, and dont/ or can not afford 100.00 a pop, then These are the ones.

As the liners are not quilted in any way the liner actualy makes the Glove more comfortable. really adds a Finished feel.

Well I am sold, put me down for the pre-pro pair lined.

One set of lined ESB here please!

I'm also interested in an ROTJ pair, pending pics of course.
-Aaron

Love the price, add me to the list for a set of lined ROTJ gloves. When will you have the prototypes ready??

wow, that's a heck of a great price. I can't wait to see pics! Once I catch up with things financially you can probably count me in for a pair of these.

Doug

i cant wait to see a finished result!

i am needing a new pair of gloves.

So whatever happened to the 7/31 posting of pics? I'm interested in a pair as well, pending pictures.

I'm in the process of sewing my own right now, and happy with the results. But I could always use another pair...

Slave 1 looks like some compition. Hope everyones happy with either version they both sound great! I love my home made ones but i wouldn't do another pair for either price. Too much work involved!

Is there any progress to report here? Can't wait to see the pics and get them ordered!

"Paypal 5, standing by <tschkkk>"

Si

Please put me down for a pair of lined ESB's
Any idea what the shipping is to the UK ?

Many thanks

CD

I just caught up on this thread and that is a fantastic price for what I am sure will be a quality glove.
Put me down for a pair of ROTJ lined.

Any word on the progress/proto pics yet? I wanna see the gloves, they sound great. could you post a pic of the liner as well?

I haven't seen anything on this in a few days and wanted to bump it up. Any word on these? Any pics yet?

Doug

I also would like to know the status of on the gloves.

Scott had to take the gloves back to the seamstress for some reason. I'll contact him to see what's up.

Wes

Fellow Hunters,
So sorry for not staying on top of the GLOVE thread. I have been making several alterations to the glove project. I will have a few pairs of the preproduction gloves done a few days. I had a little miss- communication with my seamstress and she made a small mistake, but all is well now and we should have something Solid in hand in a few days. Sorry for moving so slow We have several irons in the fire at once.Thanks for hanging in there!

Good to hear. Thanks for updating us!

Better to go slow and get it right than whizz through it and end up with something that isn't up to scratch.

Looking forward to the updates.

Cheers,

Si

Any new info on these and when should we send in our hand outlines and money? I want to get in on this early I was late on the boots.

The gloves are taking a bit more time that expected, but everyone who wants them will be taken care of. Its ahrd but please stick with me on this. They will come.

I am starting to get the sweats!

I am dying for good gloves to show off the gauntlets.

I'm dieing to get a pair of these gloves. Just keep us posted and give us some pics already! hehe

Doug

Thanks for the further update, Scott. Much appreciated

How much longer are we talking, ballpark?

I have a con in mid November and I'm in the UK. Are they going to be ready for then? If you can guarantee this, no worries. If that's looking doubtful, I'll have th get the needle and thread out.....

Sorry to hassle. I know how difficult it is to give accurate time estimates, especially when the work is reliant on someone else that you cannot control the speed of. I'm just after a ballpark idea, not down to a specific time and date .

Any info welcomed (and ditto Doug, pics'd be great )

Cheers,

Si

Any news or pics on this project?

Si

Looking forward to pics of the ESB style. I have Slave1's gloves, and while outstanding, they are a bit too big for me. Having a pair made to fit, is too hard not to go for!!

Any update ?
Cant have a bareknuckled Fett ya know...Although I would like to see him in a fistfight !



B

I'm in for some ROTJ gloves if this project is still a go. The price is awesome.

iam up for those pre-production.

trooper158@hotmail.com

or. tk8201@hotmail.com

Any new updates? Thanks.

I also want to know if there are any new updates I really want a pair of those pre-pro gloves. Plus BUMP.

any new updates on these yet?

When was the last time we heard an update? I am holding off on attempting a set myself because I would rather get these.

Hey Guys, I've talked to Scott and He is working Hard on this project. He has Very high standards and wants to offer us the best gloves possible. He doesn't want to post pics of an inferior glove and have everyone get discouraged. Trust me. After the AWESOME job Jango_Wes and He did with the Boots, he wants to make sure these gloves live up to His as well as Our expectations.
I'm sure we will hear from him Soon.
Thanks,
Robert E.

I am the point now where I am starting to wear holes in my S1 gloves, so I'd be interested in seeing how these compare to his before I invest in another pair.

Thanks for the info Reidemiller.

Didn't mean to be impatient, but I have a couple of things coming up pretty soon and I need to make a decision quickly.

Is there any guide on timescale here at all? I'm not trying to rush the project, but the situation is that I need a pair of gloves in the next 2 weeks, 3 weeks at most. If this isn't happening by then, I'll have to look at other options. I may be able to get by and get some of these when I'm ready, but not knowing is frustrating. I don't want to spend an entire weekend handstitching my own to find a post on monday saying they are available and ready to ship etc. At the same time, I don't want to leave it, thinking they'll be here, to be told the day before I need them that this project is aborted/delayed further.

I'm not at all bashing Scott or the makers. I think this is a great project and I can appreciate that when you rely on others doing some work, it can be difficult to juggle annoying gits like me and the speed of the workers. Please no one think I'm cross, just keen to know if I have to bust my hump and make my own gloves, even if temporarily.

I look forward to further updartes in due course, and any timescales if possible.

Thanks to all who are involved in the organisation of this.

Si

Han Hunter,
I totally understand as I'm sure Scott does too.
I will be talking to him this evening and will let you know whether or not to start on some Just in Case.
I'll let you know by tomorrow.
Hopefully this Helps.
Thanks,
Robert E.

Cheers dude! Much appreciated. Thanks for understanding and your efforts here. Got your PM, and right back at ya!

Si

Looking for this topic as well, cause as Bobafettish said before, some time or later we're gonna have holes in our gloves, and we need at some point some back-up gloves to substiture the absence or damages of the previous ones.

Really interested in this project too, so keep the good news coming...

Robert

Any news on this project yet? It's been close to a month since we've heard anything and I am still very interested in this.

Doug

Intersested in the ESB Gloves. Want to see pics before committing.

David

If the pics look good..iam in for ROTJ gloves. Can we fax in our hand size?

STILL no pics??? :/

even a pic of half a glove would be cool.

Me too, I would like to see pics of the first gloves out to see how they look.

S1 glove's don't last forever either, and sometime we need a backup solution. Just ask Bobafettish, he can echoe this words

Robert

Bump!

Interested in an ESB set.

BUMP...

Still no news after all this time, and now I'm hearing that Scott is currently hard to get in touch with...

Anyone know any info about the glove situation? Scott?

Thanks,

mmmm, cant wait to see the esb babies

From the way Scott has been with the spikes for Wes's boots and now Scotts non communication with Wes, Don't hold your breath....

Lynn

Dang, And I was hoping to get a pair of ESB Gloves.

David

Doh.....

I agree with Lynn. These gloves ain't happening.

I had a feeling this project wasn't happening when he put the phrases 'need input', 'accurate gloves' and 'we will start cranking them out' in the same paragraph.

It took me a few days to sew the pads on (machine-sewn is not accurate!), and I know S1 himself doesn't just 'crank them out'. These are a ***** to put together.

I think this prop-maker was trying to jump-start his business before he realized exactly what goes into making an accurate pair of gloves, much less multiple pairs for multiple buyers. It's a good thing we didn't all lay money down for this, a la the boot offer.

Lesson learned: Don't put 'research needed' and 'production will commence' in the same thread.
