So every now and then you run across that guy, the guy who does everything a little bit better than everybody else, I ran across this guy who makes gloves, he's located in our great state of Texas. I am one of those guys who likes nice tight fitting gloves, I don't like the ones with the plastic over your knuckles, I don't like the fingerless gloves they don't work either for me, so most of the time I use skin tight deer skin gloves, the first time I saw these gloves rooster was wearing them, and I said to myself I have to have those gloves, I did a little bit of digging, they have a small Studio out in the middle of bum fuck Texas. So I decided I would order me a pair of blood red shanks gloves, when they arrived I was definitely not disappointed, I only had to put them on a couple of times and they were already starting to feel pretty good, stitching on these things it's a crazy, these remind me of the old cowboy gloves back in the day, anyway I want to say these are the best gloves I've ever had, and God knows I've tried a bunch, I just like the old school hand stitched look.... these are those gloves!!!

Well, Temu is more expensive than Aliexpress, as Temu does stock some items in North America nad offers quicker shipping times. Same company, filtering out North American vendore that stock here. Nonetheless, it is a questionable option. Questions both ways, that is as to who made whom>
would it be cheaper if a US based member were to buy the gloves you want and ship them to you from their US address and you PayPal/venmo/whatever them the funds?
IDK exchange rates. I doubt it would be any cheaper that way.
Sometimes, but that depends on shipping costs; if a company only uses UPS from the States then I will not but the otem as their 'brokerage fees' are insanely stupid high and often costs more than the items themself. I have a buddy in Vegas that I can use if needed, he just sent me some small parts for my truck that the US company refused to ship anywhere but the USA.
Regarding these gloves though, I can't buy gloves online as my hands are ginormous and most don't fit; so I will never buy without trying when it comes to gloves, regardless of price.

I've sent numerous items outside of the USA. Canada, Australia, the UK, Japan, to name a few. Custom forms really are NBD once you do a few. Just thought I'd help if I could.
I ordered a pair July 28 and got them September 12. I’ve only had the opportunity to wear them once. Fit is good and is true to size. I normally wear a large and ordered a large. Only time will tell how durable they are.

Ordered Aug. 27th and as of today (11/12) I have not received them. Any attempts to get a hold of them via email, social media, or calling have gone unanswered.
I'm really only writing this cause as my luck goes the minute I complain they'll show up on my doorstep.

That's terrible. That's beyond bad customer service. That's NO customer service.

I was interested but this is sounding like J&S Jacks
It took mine about a month to show up. I'm not discouraged by that. A 1 man shop fulfilling orders...it might take some time. And it's certainly understandable that when you are a 1 man shop and your orders increase lead times will get longer and longer. BUT you have to do something about that. You can't just ignore your customers. You have to reply with "hey, sorry it's taking longer than expect to ship your gloves. We are slammed with orders and we are working hard to blah blah blah blah blah...".
If you choose to just ignore me for 3 months? Ok, I will ignore you forever. Refund requested and everyone I know will know the service you provided. That's just the way it is. Nothing personal. Business is business. Get better at running yours.

It's been nearly 2 weeks, I guess they only printed the label for the box as the tracking number they provided shows that it is still in pre-shipment. Hopefully I'll see them by 2025!!UPDATE: My post on here worked, I received shipping confirmation about 3 hours later. I really hope these gloves are everything that I've heard and read.

I ordered a pair of large Oak shanks from them on 9/19 to see if they would fit better then the mediums that were ultra tight (wearable now) and just received them 12/31, shipping notice came to me on 11/26. Bummer of it all is my hands swim in the large shanks!
I've been waiting several days for a response on if I can exchange them but I don't anticipate a response as they have never responded on any prior communication. I'll be posting them for sale soon...
The product is nothing short of fantastic, it's a shame that the experience to get it is so dreadfully opposite.
Here's his phone number, he's responed to all my text. 1.858.880.5073.
That's unfortunate. And very odd that some folks here got a great experience and some folks here got a shitty experience. I'd just move on if I were in your shoes. File a dispute with the credit card or ask him for a refund and good riddance. Plenty of other gloves out there that are just as good or even better.

Yeah, sorry about all this as I think my son and I were the original purchasers of these gloves and recommended them to Smoker and he started this mess…... And the gloves are great BTW, but obviously the owner is a loser and has horrible business sense.
