Not at all......only when I fire my blaster.. ....

That was the problem with The Real Gloves. Those things were too hot! I sold mine and went back to my ripped up old SlaveI gloves. I need a new pair and these look like a great option.

One great thing I just noticed is that these cover your wrist. I have big hands, and the one problem I've had with Tango Romeo Golf is that they don't reach to my wrist. My gauntlet digs into my wrist, and I am left with open skin. That gonna sting a little.

That's it ... I need a pair!

You're leaving... THE REAL GLOVES??!

I did a looooooong time ago. Left them for old beat up gloves too!

The finger tips on the REAL GLOVES are too boxy if you ask me and they're way too hot and bulky.

After seeing every ROTJ reference photo, I think I'm gonna have to change my tune also...and agree with Webchief.

Don't get me wrong the Real Gloves are extremely well made, heck I still have mine... ....but in terms of accuracy....I just had to upgrade.
So to each his own. ..

I'll post pictures once these babies are weathered...

The Real Gloves are perfect for what they are supposed to be: wearable costume gloves. They look great, fit well, and are nicely made. I own a pair myself, and once the liner was removed, are alot cooler. But understand that they are not accurate.

The TK409 gloves are made by hand-stitching padding to the outside of dyed parade gloves, just like the ones worn onscreen. Do they look factory-made? No. And they're not supposed to look that way. To be movie-accurate, the pads must be hand-stitched. TK409 nailed 'em.

The preference of 'expertly made' as opposed to 'movie-accurate' has always been a conundrum when dealing with the Fett gloves. Of all the pieces of the costume, this is, unfortunately, one instance where you can't have it both ways.

Awesome gloves, Spidey!

Passing this along to Dianna, my sister who makes them. Glad you guys like them!

I noticed this when I saw the ROTJ HD photos Brak's Buddy posted. TK409's looked much more like what I saw in the photos that what TRG's did. When I got a set of TRG, it was the perfect upgrade given where I was with the status of my costume. But at this point, I'm really lookin' for everything to be dead-on ... hence I need to upgrade again.

Chris ... ya got an email waitin' for ya!

Dianna is sooo great to work with too..!! First class in communication....:thumbup

She was upfront....and said they would take 4weeks.....got them in 3....AWESOME!!

I've always thought about replacing my TRG's, but they aren't a top priority for my costume as of the moment I also need the thickness of their wrist to keep my gauntlets from spinning, for I am probably the skinniest Fett on these boards; 5'9" 120lbs.

Congrats on the awesome gloves Spideyfett!

i was kiddin with the whole TRG thing, the fact is, these gloves pwn, these look awesome, and look a lot more comfy

Nice, I like those a lot. Real accurate looking. I made a pair using TK409's tutorial, but I wasn't real happy with the patch material I used. I may try and find better material and redo mine.

Yea I wanted to do mine myself ....but I can't sew for the life of me....
and there's no way I would've even come close to this level of skill......so to me it's money well spent.
