WTB Red Leather Gloves for Gauntlets

Anybody have a source for red leather gloves I can use in (stitch in) my new mitten gauntlets? I'm trying dying my own, but it'll probably look like I'm performing surgery from the dye bleed for a while. :lol:

Thanks!

Give them a good coating of linseed oil after you dye them and it will cut down on the bleeding.

No idea where to get red gloves.

I got red leather welding gloves from a welding supply store.

Thanks guys!

Blackoak, I've used neatsfoot oil on them already (inside and out), will that work the same as linseed oil? Should I do both?

Thanks again.
