Title: Sharkskin gloves?
Post by: Dan Adair on July 04, 2011, 01:08:00 AM
Pretty much sums it up...  I had one for a number of years and now its smoked.  I think I bought it for 40 bucks down in Stevensville MT when I was down there for a 3d shoot.  Anybody know of somebody making shooting gloves out of shark skin??

We make sharkskin tabs on request at EFA. They don't feel anything like cordovan or calfhair. We have a limited amount of sharkskin and would sell small pieces for making a tab.

Could you put sharkskin stalls on an existing glove??  I don' t have a problem spending money on what I'm after...

I have an old Martin glove that fits perfect but is also smoked.

The only thing Ive found close so far is the various ballistic kevlar gloves on the scene, but those last about a month

Dan, I stay as far as I can from the sewing machine but if you know someone who can sew it then I'd give you a good deal on sharkskin.
