I recently had taken off these really crummy leather gloves from my gauntlets and replaced them with some nice cowhide leather :) I had made all the the tweaking that I wanted for the gloves but have now come into the problem with attaching them to the gauntlets themselves :mad: My girlfriend has spent countless hours trying to sew these things on and there just not cooperating. The gauntlets don't have a lot of leather to work with and my gloves fit really snug with my hands, making the stitching feel tight around my fingers.

So I took what little of the stitching iv done and have gone back to square one. I have thought about maybe having leather loops around the fingers to were I can slip the gloves through, or perhaps gluing them on. I can't decide what would be best.

Is there enough room between the leather and the steel to sneak some leather lacing through, or thin (say, 2-4 oz) leather straps to attach to the gloves? If not, you may need to add a few more rivets to those to attach your gloves.

I see a gauntlet glued with silicon. It`s not very orthodox, but it`s a solution, I think... Perhaps making little rings of leather riveting to the gauntlet fingers??

Stitch some leather tabs to the rivet leathers. Stitch the tabs to the glove. Or just get a bigger glove and use the slack to stitch on the rivet leathers.

I think the problem he's having Kel is that he didn't leave enough of the leather on the gauntlets to be able to stitch to. I may be wrong, but that's the impression I get.

You may just have to pop those rivets off, re-rivet to a new base, and sew that base on to the new glove. I know you have access to a shop, so shouldn't be that hard...just time consuming...

Need to try a different stich... the one you are using is sinching the leather tighter. You need to get a curved leather sewing needle and sew them in and out of the glove leather not the round and round you currently have.
