robail Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 'allo new to tha forums, and I need help. I've been searchin for gloves that I could um, mutilate and make them look worn, like cutting off a finger or finger tip from the gloves. the problem I want them in brown but for some odd reason the only cheap gloves(ones I wouldn't feel bad about damaging) come in black. Usually the glove sites I find say something like Black cowhide gloves, then the deerskin gloves come in different colors have all the brown cows been killed off or something? thanks for any help that can be given?

Patrick Hand Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Why not just get a pair of work gloves at a hardware store.... they come in brown. Just re-stitch any of the fingers that you cut, or they will unravel..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just re-stitch any of the fingers that you cut, or they will unravel..... Aye, that's what I did. The hardware store gloves have this little elastic wrist band stitch on em. I just ripped it out and wrapped some jute around em. EagleCrafts also sells a pattern for gauntlet-style gloves, which I'm sure ye could modify.

William Brand Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Buy a lighter pair. Then take the lighter pair and stain them a darker brown using a combination of dark brown dyes. Stain them unevenly for an aged look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackjohn Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 If you are just looking for some junk gloves to trash, go to ebay and do a search on... brown leather gloves ... I got 204 hits on that search. Gotta be something there that will suit you r needs. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.

Stain them unevenly for an aged look. You won't even need to dye them , really, as dye and stain often bleed through to the hands...unless you want that effect. Just wipe em down with mink oil or neatsfoot oil. they'll darken up real quick!
