I got a pair of these TIG gloves, and they have nice padding, only on the back of the hands.

I thought they may be good for making fingered gauntlets.
Just wanted to pass that along.

Now back to your regular scheduled programing....

Thanks for the link Hal. I know many people use these kinds of gloves to line thier finger guantlets.

As an aside, has anyone tried the "Light Sparring Gloves" sold by Revival Clothing? Just how padded are they? Would they work for lining finger guants or would a person need "more"?

Go to catalouge and scroll all the way down to find the gloves

I do like the Tillmans. Bought a pair of the kidskin TIG gloves for rapier, and several others in my group have dyed them with no problems, but even the size small is too big for me. For the future reference of anyone browsing this thread, there is a brand of all-leather rose-pruning gauntlets that are sized for women called Rose Pro. The cheapest I've found them is at http://www.merchantspassage.com/servlet/Detail?no=914

Did the gloves lining historical gauntlets have padding on the backs, or is this a modern SCA heavy thing, or both?

I use a pair of the revival "Light Sparring Gloves" in my finger gaunts. They're well padded, but a bit thick in the palm making it somewhat difficult to hold a sword. They are very protective though, and as you can see by the pic I had these gaunts over engineered, cause I don't like getting hit in the hands. This is the only pic I have of these gaunts, but you can see the end of the glove at the back of one of the gaunts.

If you don't mind, how much are you selling gauntlets like pictured above?

Sixtus,

I don't make armor. I had these made for me by Clay Lewis, who posts here on AA as "Celticwarriors". He sellls his gaunts on ebay, but posts the sales here in the Classifides section. You can find him here....http://forums.armourarchive.org/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=60061
