So it's basically Fedorov's gloves from when he was in Detroit?  Also, how much extra for each?

I'll know it today(Friday)

Fedorov didn't use tapered fingers in Detroit, to the best of my knowledge, so they won't be exactly the same as the ones he wore then.

What is tapered fingers?

[Chadd 916]

Tapered:

A gradual decrease in thickness or width of an elongated object.

Tapered fingers are one of the nicest features on a glove. Were the HGTs the first to do that?

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Yes, TPS owns the patent if I am not mistaken. Tapered, pre-rotated fingers.

goatskin.... can someone confirm this though

[JR Boucicaut 3804]

Could be goatskin, could be nash.

Judging by the gussets looking like nash, it's goatskin.

[Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3]

Yes but there is two goatskin

Look:

What's the difference between the two aside from color?

[Chadd 916]

Nash is suede-like and goatskin is leather.

[Edge 0]

no, i mean between the two goatskins....

[Chadd 916]

I'd bet it's more lighting than anything else. Note the goalie and player Nash don't exactly match.

Nash is a synthetic material, originally designed to give a better "feel" than leather while still providing good wear resistance. It's also called Clarino. It gave a good feel, because it could be made very thin and still wear ok. But it still wasn't as durable as traditional leather palms. I think it was alot more cost-effective for companies to switch over to Nash/Clarino. Another problem with Nash/Clarino is that it doesn't give as much grip as leather, which I still believe is why the "grip stick" phenomenon ever happened.

Goatskin is a real reecent development. It's a very thin leather that gives a great feel but is *several* times more durable than nash. Also, it gives a great grip on a stick. Goatskin is a natural material (not man-made like Nash/Clarino).

What if the goat is cloned?

[Kovy_Ribs_Fedo 3]

What I don't understand is the sewing are not at the same place in the fed gloves pic than in all the palms pic... And there is no sewing that match perfectly between the two pics. Is it normal? Maybe it's a palm that they don't have in retail.
