Let me think of a few color combos and I'll shoot you a pm with some pics.
Wow I'd love to buy a pair of gloves from you someday. I really like the Shooto style of gloves and have been waiting for a company to bring them back in lace-ups. I have a few pairs from different brands but myfavorite design has to be the old Combat Sports Shooto lace-ups. The only thing about them is the padding on them sucks.

I would love to sell you a pair one day.
What didn't you like about the padding on the combat sports glove?I would love to sell you a pair one day.
The padding on mine feels like a thick rubber pad, think about squeezing a mouse pad and that is how it feels. Granted, I did buy them used off of eBay so I have no experience with them brand new. I really only bought them because of how they look. Reminds me of a open palm boxing glove.

I know exactly what you mean. When I opened the tap out gloves, that's exactly what's inside. It makes for a good looking shooto glove, but to me not very practical. My glove probably won't have that distinct bubble look, but I feels natural when making a fist.

Here's a pic of the glove pieces that go into making this glove. It's a step up from the five or six pieces that went into making the bag glove.
No fancy white leather french seam sofa over here.
Nice dissection there. For science!
I wonder if there is a PRIDE glove template somewhere... I can't imagine sacrificing a pair if I ever got my hands on some!
And just for comparison, here's a pair of ISAMI Sengoku, Fighting Road, and M1/V3 gloves.

As long as the padding is good and the glove is comfortable its all good. The long cuff design looks really interesting, reminds me of Grants.

Im sure theres a pattern out there somewhere. Its just foam and leather, i wouldnt hesitate to crack one open.
Thanks for posting the pics cheesesteak. They helped spark an idea which might make the gloves better. The piping around the glove just wasn't doing it for me. It's not the clean look I wanted and it adds a 1/4" around the glove. I think I'm going to flip the glove inside out like a boxing glove is made and use a colored welt for more customization.
(top)Welted seam VS. (bottom)Piped/Binded seam
Nahveed: that's exactly what I'm going for. Let's see how it looks once it's complete.

Made a quick mini mock-up of the gloves this morning. Basically trying to get the sequence on putting them together and working on the piping. The finger loops should have been first, i forgot to sew them on.:redface: I basically have to tighten up some stitching, piping, measurements.

Thanks buddy. It's a start. The final glove should will be polished, prettier, and baby blue.

Last update before I make the real glove. I have to tighten up a few things, change a few measurements, and redesign and add padding to the lace flaps. I didn't do any piping because I have to take the glove apart for the pattern pieces. I'm going to experiment with a few foam types, I'm going to try to use the same foam Shevlin uses, and I'm going to make one with the original foam from the Tapout glove.
As always feedback is welcomed and appreciated.

No thumb loop?
IMO if there is no thumb loop, isn't there a chance that the gloves may not be as stable as usual?

Thank you sir. You're too kind. Pride blue you say?
What no pussycat theme? I was really looking forward to those.
Thanks for the input. I based the glove off of one of my Tapout gloves which doesn't have the thumb attachment. Between the laces and the finger loops it doesn't seem like there's much wiggle room, I could be wrong though. That's where my boy Tone C comes in, he'll be putting them to the test and letting me know how I could improve them.
I will be adding a spandex thumb attachment and a padded thumb attachment option in future. Check my sig, I'm trying to trade for a glove with the padded thumb, if not I'll just go ahead and buy one.

You guys sick of me yet? Someone(picky bastard ) couldn't live without it, so I added a padded thumb.
For the guys I promised d/e bags thanks for your patience, I'll get to them shortly. Between, family, work, and this glove, I've been swamped.
