Samples are in, pictures below. I am happy to report that the samples came in from Factory A and they are up to my standards (which a very high). So I am comfortable moving forward with making a full run of these and taking preorders also skipping factory B.

The only change to these will be the color of the yellow glove to be more yellow and less orange like the original. All seam lines, sewing types and leather types are accurate to the originals.
I did try to have them put velcro on the back, but i knew better than just to have them put it on. In my experience with glove suppliers, the velcro usually doesn't stick. So i asked this factory for a sample of velcro and it was bad, as in doesn't stick hardly at all. So i don't feel comfortable having that velcro sewn to the back. It won't be difficult for buyers to add velcro that has a adhesive back to the glove and the hand armor.
PLEASE NOTE they are fairly tight as they are supposed to fit like a driving glove as thats what they used for the yellow gloves in the screen used gloves. So if you are afraid of them being too tight, order a size up. They will be available in Medium, Large and Extra Large. Ill try to get a sizing chart or palm width chart made.
These should be ready 2.5 weeks from today.
With some added feedback I’ll be making three changes to these.
1) Shorten the black part of the thumb to match the originals.
2) remove the two seams on both sides of the cuff and replace with center palm seam.
3) small sizing issues will be corrected. Mostly the tightness of the palm and cuff. Finger length is perfect. Won’t affect delivery date.
