The new production run of gauntlets that arrived in the US earlier this week is exactly the same as the earlier gauntlets, except that the glued-in leather gloves are no longer included. On the new gauntlets, the fingers are tabbed so that folks can attach gloves of their choice, with or without padding, sewn to the tabs or glued in to the fingers.
Here's what they look like:
As I said, this is a head's up for folks who have been waiting on backordered gauntlets - a PSA for the unwary, as you will, I've already emailed my clients who have been waiting for these to let them know. I have a couple of pairs in stock, but won't know how many are still available until I hear back from all of my clients.
