Went through Total Hockey... from payment date to picking them up today was barely over 2 weeks. Crazy fast from what I was expecting. They're narrow fit, may just look wide from how they were shipped and since they're not broken in.

$50 extra for the Hossa cuff.

Hossa cuff along with the pinky and upper cuff being carbon... you can kinda see the carbon in the pic but it's a little hard to tell.

Yeah the stitching is white. Logo was supposed to look like this... rather than this

Picked up my gloves today... real happy with everything except the thumb logo was supposed to be different. Shot Warrior an email about it, so we'll see what they say.

I know I was real surprised when I looked at the order status yesterday and it said they were shipped. I got the official confirmation about the order on October 26... that's barely 3 weeks.

Sweet looking gloves! Mine are supposed to get delivered to my LHS tomorrow... hopefully they call me right away so I can go get them and get some pics up here asap!

Shoot Warrior an email about exactly what you want. They'll be able to tell you what can be done better than any shop. Someone there can walk you through the steps to take in order to get all the custom options you want that aren't offered through the glove customizer online.

Yeah I'm doing the Hossa cuff.

I went through Total Hockey.

For anyone wondering... finished up with placing my custom Franchise order today; Warrior is running 3-5 weeks for customs rather than the 6-8 week estimate they usually give. I'll be sure to post pics when I get them.

Being able to choose different foams would be nice too. The protection on the 4-roll is great, but part of the reason I only use my xxxx pros here and there is because of the so-so protection on them. If you could add a "pro pack" like Warrior offers on the Franchise for the xxxx pros (x:60's now), I'd be all over a custom pair. It would be cool too even if they just offered pro team colors. Some of the Bauers that NHL players rock are pretty sweet.

Another one here for custom Bauers. I switch around my Franchise gloves with XXXX pro's and sometimes my Bauer 4-rolls once in a while. It would be sweet to be able to customize them... especially with the new X:60's out and 4-rolls soon to be coming out.

Haha for sure! They can't come soon enough. I'll let you know on the actual charge for the Hossa cuff too when I find out.

I don't think there's a problem talking prices on the boards is there?... I was told $50 up charge for the cuff. I haven't received the final bill yet since I just put the order through today; so I'm just assuming it'll be right around $50. The total I was quoted for everything definitely wasn't cheap, but it'll all be worth it once I get them!

Exactly, you can do a ton on the customizer... but if you talk to someone at Warrior you can do almost anything you want. I also went with the Hossa "twist" cuff as they call it. Not on the customizer either so I just let them know I wanted it.

Here's what I decided to go with: Hopefully it doesn't take forever since the NHL season has started!

Haha yeah that's what I was thinking. The Blackhawks ones are what I keep going back to (they were my initial style)... there's just so many options with custom Warriors that you keep building different ones even after you think you decided on a design!

What do you guys think of these Franchise styles? I'm gonna go with all Tufftek except the carbon pinky/upper cuff. Also gonna have the Hossa style "twist" cuff on them. I'm a Blackhawks guy hence the red/black, but I kinda like the low key look of the other two as well.

Can you just request the Hossa cuff or do you need some connections for that option?

Does anyone know the exact specs of Hossa's (or Toews') Franchise Blackhawks gloves? I thought they were all tufftek but then I saw a pic where the pinky looked like carbon. Thanks guys.

Never thought of that, good call. I'll have to wear them like that next time, but I'll probably have to drop the bicep protector on the shoulders a little first.

hows those hustlers working out for ya? I'm a big fan of the Hustlers. The shoulders are a little heavier than my last set (Bauers), but they are much more comfortable, mobile, and offer better protection. The elbows are great... especially how the secure around the forearm. Not sure if you can tell, but the entire forearm part is velcro, instead of just a smaller strap. So it secures really well. The only drawback is that the bicep strap doesn't get super tight, but it's not a huge deal. Both the shoulders and elbows are probably the most comfortable I've ever used.
