  1. ^ Correct, that is a custom option with Eagle. I have done it a number of times for customers. You have to be exact on the length you want. There are no returns on custom Eagle gloves.
  2. Kindly ask them to get her kid under control or she will have to take him out of the store and leave!! There comes a point in retail situations when enough is simply enough. It is not fair to the other customers that you are trying to help in a normal professional manner.
  3. The hardest friends to lose are the ones you played hockey with. I've lost a few guys I skated with, too. Just a deep special bond among us. Sorry for your pain right now.........
  4. Women will always drive you crazy. Movin' on is the best advice you'll get.
  5. For the record, they are not mine. I just did the heavy lifting.
  6. X95, shortened fingers, minimal branding, clean look.
  7. I have the details back in the shop. This is a PPFi with 1/2" shortened fingers that are tapered 1/2" to 1/4". Eagle nailed it so they deserve the credit. This glove in length is incredibly short when the reduced cuff roll is added. Personally, I was afraid they wouldn't fit! I had never done a custom glove that tight in the hand. However, 90% of custom fit is trying on stock sizing, understanding exactly what you want and need to do to customize and optimize your personal fit, and then having the guts to pull the trigger. WSjo22 stepped up and did it! Adding the digital overlay on the right palm was a touch of subtle brilliance that should be SOP(standard operating procedure) in the future on any custom glove. I love the minimalist navy look as well. These gloves were worth the wait. Thanks again.
  8. Shortening the cuff and shortening the fingers are two separate custom upcharges. Shortening the fingers a bit can make a big difference in fit and comfort. Krev did a great job creating a unique glove without the branding.
  9. Yes and navy, not black. I like the gold palms.
  10. That would be a 7, not a 1.
  11. It had been awhile since this thread was active. I didn't want to start a separate thread and hear the fanboy bs. If any mods feel the need, be my guest. Your LHS dilemma is shared by many. Carry on and have a good night.
  12. I thought the comments were interesting and valid from the members. Considering that Bauer offers custom OPS and custom skates to those that want/need, I was interested in those members that might have had an interest in custom Bauer 4-rolls. Right now Eagle and Warrior are the only two North American companies offering this option. As a dealer seeing orders for custom Eagles and Warriors(I am not soliciting, seeking, or wanting members business. Go to your LHS!), I know this business is out there. I know members here as well as my customers will spend $250+ on custom gloves. I know they will wait 8-10 weeks to have these custom gloves delivered. My question was just to see if guys truly had interest if Bauer offered this route. While an Eagle top end is $200 retail and Warrior goes higher on retail Franchise, Bauer could perhaps be offering custom gloves at $100 more than a retail 4-roll. Would guys pony up the dough if they could get exactly what they wanted in a custom Bauer 4-roll? That is about as simple as I could put it. Speculation, prospecting, who gives a rat's ass. Take it for what it's worth and move on.
  13. If the point ever makes its way back around it will be due to the conversation started here on pg 131 regarding if there was interest in Bauer offering a custom 4 roll glove package. You may carry on with your agenda now.
  14. And then there is validation. Just another word and I digress. "What you don't know, you don't know." DW
  15. This isn't speculation. This is prospecting.
  16. Eagle offers shorter fingers, -1/4", - 1/2" as an option. I did that recently on an X95 glove, shortened the fingers. You have to be exact with the measurement when requesting it. No returns on customs!
  17. I just saw that done on Backstrom's cuff on his X:60 Caps gloves at the Bauer event. Short, tight fingers, too.
  18. I think a custom option would include the palm. On team order 4-Roll, 12 pair minimum per style, I have ordered both standard retail palm and single layer pro palm for different orders. The single layer pro palm is great for feel and flexibility.
  19. Given the prices Warrior and Eagle get at retail for custom gloves, would guys here pay in that neighborhood for custom 4 Rolls from Bauer? Imagine a glove customizer on Bauer.com and the ability to choose options as Warrior and Eagle do. Anyone interested? Just curious.
  20. Never lend equipment...............
