I am wanting those, he says 15in tall. Im just not sure what that translates to in nowadays sizes.

Even though he says they measure 15", that glove is not a 15" glove fit by today's standards. The tip-off is there are only 4 rolls. The cuff is also not very long. That Koho glove dates from the mid 80s. Ask him what model # on the cuff. I'm guessing 350. I would say the glove is a tweener: between 13"/14" by today's standards. I'll tell you one thing: they will be stiff with the one piece fingers in that old nylon material!

Im waiting on a response about the #. Do you think they would be that stiff? I figured with how old they are they should be pretty worn in.

Seller states the the model is # HG4. So whatever that means.

Given the 20 year old age, the gloves will be stiff. They can be "broken in" again. I just don't think they will be as soft, ready to go as you might think. Also, that nylon is more of a brushed nylon. It is hard to describe unless you have seen it before. There should have been a model # on the cuff right below the word Koho. Koho used to go 150, 250, 350, 450, etc. I don't recall an HG single # series from Koho.
