Leather Gloves, anyone make/made their own, who do I go to for a custom leather glove

[CLEM]

There's some proper MONSTER talented folks on here making all kinds of really impressive stuff, some of the leatherwork I've seen is shockingly good! What Iam after is a custom made leather glove for my left hand! Who am I best to speak to to commission such a work???
Thank you

Ok, what I am after is a custom target glove for rifle shooting, like the Olympic shooters use. My old one is pretty worn out now and I wondered if someone could make one to my spec! It's nowt overly complicated!

Nobody can help???

The glovers' skill is one of the finest parts of the leathercraft world. It would take a lot of time and finr stitching skill to make it right. I am pretty sure, myself included, nobody here could do it. Try asking on Leatherworker.net, but I don't think I have seen any on there either

This company has been making gloves in England since the 30's and I think they offer a bespoke service, http://www.chesterjefferies.co.uk.

Good luck with your quest and let me know how you get on.

If you don't get sorted Clem, shoot me a PM, I'll look through my "box of bits" - pretty sure I still have a padded mitt from .22 "bondage shooting" kicking about somewhere

I'd agree with previous postings, the glover was a specialist leather trade (as was, for example, the leather bottle maker) and, whilst I'm sure many of the makers on here would have the inherent ability to become a glover, it's a skill that would take a long time to perfect.

Good luck in your search, though.

Thank you Red, your a gentleman. Very generous of you!

Not that I didn't know this before but there are some good people in this place! Just saying like.

Well Geoff much to my embarrassment I am largely pretty skill less and many folks on this fine forum are truly superbly skilled and more or less almost every time I log in here I am truly gob smacked at what members are able to produce. Now leatherwork is one area amongst many I'll admit I know very little about. I figured I'd ask on here because so impressive are folks skills I wondered if anyone had indeed made there own gloves, I think I saw some mittens one time. Mittens are one thing of course and gloves are another. But still I figure it's not beyond some of the folks on here to make gloves, a target glove is a big thickly padded sort of stiff glove so not exactly pretty but a really helpful aid to accuracy and isolates the shooters pulse some from the rifle. What Iam after is a sort of bigger even thicker padded glove to my own design.
If you know all that, hope I've not sounded condescending or a know it all or something
