I "Glove" a good discussion ^_^

So Gloves:

Plenty of threads out there on who makes them well, accuracy, fit etc. The common consensus seems to be that white military parade gloves dyed to color and tackle twill (matching neck seal) padded and quilted sewn on fingers, thumb and back of the hand. Since that build is relatively eazy mode to make I really can't justify the 80 bucks when I know I can make them for like 20, tops.

That said, in analyzing pictures are sure it is just a parade glove? In the picture attached if you look at the parts circled it really seems like he is wearing an under glove for a "padding" effect. A parade glove is farm to tight to look this bulky and wrinkle in that type of pattern. A parade glove even too big for your hand would not wrinkle in this manner. What are you guys thoughts? Has anyone thought about this or discovered if there is indeed an under glove to make his hands thicker? With only a parade glove on Jeremy Bulloch's hands would have to be pretty thick to have this appearance and he is a really lithe guy.

I believe they were a found part, cotton uniform gloves with a button closure. This is what I used: Curzon | Men's Plain Cotton Gloves

Which I believe are even the same brand that were used...

As for the padding, most people use that tackle twill stuff. But it's wrong. There is quilting behind, and the top material has a sheen to it which matches the vest material. They were sewn together first and then dyed at the same time. The fabric they used did not hold the dye...

Don't know if this helps... Good Luck!

I believe what Urami is referring to is that the gloves in the top pic look like a lined glove because they are slightly puffy and crease in certain ways (kind of like a winter type glove) whereas a parade glove would be stretch tight and be form fitting to your hand. Maybe wearing another pair under the parade gloves will give the desired effect?

I made a thread about this a month or so ago, I thought the entirety of the glove was a different material, the base glove as well as the quilting, based off of similar observations.

I thought there were up gauntlet shots that kind of confirmed the cuff, button, and pretty much what type of glove it was?

Oh if anyone would be kind enough to post those I would LOVE that.

There are many shots that show the button and cuff.

its not lined, I've even gotten thicker gloves to try. one time I even bought in bulk just so I could try one.

I'm not sure if there is a picture of the tag on the glove... Here's an image from Art of Star Wars that shows the button

Here are my gloves. I already posted the link above. Closest I've found, at the very least it might be the new model of the same brand. You might be able to find some vintage one on ebay...

here is tackle twill. shiny but no cotton grain.

Here is the fabric I found that I think is what was used, It's a cotton blend that doesn't dye; it looks spot on! I'm not going to go into what it is just yet.... If it's correct it also is used for the vest. Once we know for sure I'll let you guys know...

I knew I had just seen that recently but couldn't find it again!

Urami · Feb 5, 2016

Yeah that is what I mean. That glove in art of star wars looks like it is thick material. Even after all these years the material just has a thickness to it. I know it's not but it has the appearance of warn suade.

Yes! That's exactly what I thought!

Urami · Feb 5, 2016

Along the journey of people seeking to duplicate the costume was it confirmed that the gloves was truly the parade glove? Or is it just the best estimation for the "look"?

Urami · Feb 5, 2016

JimmyC

This one that you showed looks like a really good choice though. The wrinkle by the thumb look thick.

And with some dye and general wear/pulling the raised fibers would wear down and looking light giving the illusion of a suade. Will definately order up a pair of those.

Nooooo! The costume is hot enough

I'm actually on the lookout for a glove upgrade. My current ones are starting to fall apart. Watching with interest

They even have a grey option that looks exactly the right shade of ESB.

Those are the very gloves I use for the ones we make..... You have to remove the stitching on the back of Palm.

That vest/glove quilting has always been a challenge to sort out....

And absolutely agreed on the padding, we do that as well.

Urami · Feb 6, 2016

How close is that gray to accurate? Also Major why do the stiches in back of the palm need to come out. Is it to widen the glove or just have a clean flat space to sew on the quilting

thinbluefett · Feb 6, 2016

Does anyone have any pics of their gloves that they made? Hand sewn quilting? And you're right that glove jimmyc showed you looks like a good thickness.

thinbluefett · Feb 6, 2016

Well those gloves are sold out everywhere so there goes that lol

Mike M. · Feb 7, 2016

I'll be jumping back into the glove game again very soon. In the meantime you can see the gloves I'll be making in this thread: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f20/introducing-mike-m-version-2-revision-3-boba-glove-52345/

intwenothor · Feb 7, 2016

I was particularly pleased with my Mike.M gloves. The difference and improvement over my Boba Maker ones was vast.

I "Glove" a good discussion ^_^
