First glove

[Laurie]

Hello.
I'm looking into getting my first glove (for a mhh)and have been on many web sites. I've found this one that looks and sounds good. What do you guys think?

This is the blurb thats on the web site:
A full length, single layer glove of heavyweight buckskin, suitable for all males and many female Harrises. Complete with 2 dee rings for those who fly a cast of Harrises. With lining and cuff brass-topped tassel.

And the price is only £40 + £5 p&p.

Cheers

agree with skywalker, firstly i sent a drawing of my hand into ben long and he matched it up to the correct size of glove, fits really well and is very comfy

I got a glove just like this for my male harris(bloody good glove very supple and well made):supz: . Only thing is when your feeding off the glove it gets messy. I just baught a cheap glove off ebay to use when feeding off the glove

make sure you get a glove which you need,speek to sombody compitend who flies the bird you have or want,and ask how thick and long it needs to be,i would always choice the thinest glove you need,you will always find the glove you need for a new arrival is not in fact the glove you need for your manned bird,,,,tarqs ben long makes good kit however his gloves are not made to measure unless you pay more,for example i use martin jones short,single thickness for any bird up to m gos or male harris,this also makes you make your bird sit on the fist properly,and your glove should be like new jeans you should have to sqeeze into it,,,good luck,,,, tarqs
