I found rubber gloves at a Dollar Tree store in Pennsylvania. And they only cost a dollar.

Or you could buy the rubber gloves with the rubber hand guards glued on from Shonnenshein (look in the For Sale thread) (( they are the BEST IMHO ))

Or you could buy military surplus chemical gloves from these guys (if you have small to medium size hands) http://store.colemans.com/cart/rubber-gloves-chemical-protective-10-pair-size-small-p-1630.html

Was wondering if these gloves from amazon are the right gloves to have for centurion certification

If not please let me know which would be correct

 

Do you already have the hand guards? If not get them both from Karin.

The most accurate looking ones that I have came accross are rubber military chemical gloves. They are sturdy, smooth, and do not have that weird gripping texture on the palms. I'm sure military surplus stores would have them for pretty cheap.

But that wierd gripping texture is screen accurate ;)

 

Be sure to wear white cotton gloves/liners underneath or soon the Amazonas will run out of the rubber gloves!

Coating your hands with baby powder also helps!

Really? I was pretty sure they were just smooth gloves all over.

Let me dig out some pics. The palm is harder to make out, but the "finger nails" can be seen quite clearly the thant b/w ANH promo feat. the hero helmet and the so-called hero hand guards.

 

But from 3 feet away, with lots of spot lights every detail washes out.

 

 

Edit: I'm pretty sure the not every gloves was the same. They surely mixed several brands in ther course of production because of damage etc... They used whatever they could find

there was a discussion recently and we found out the most likely UK brand of gloves, but I forgot the name :( Shame on me..

 

it was most likely "marigold" as they have been around forever and were making black gloves back then in the correct style :duim:

Did you guys ever dig up the detailed photo of the gloves?  All the Blu Ray close-ups show smooth gloves.  This makes sense to me, since SW used a lot of military surplus... and that's the cheapest, most readily available bulk rubber gloves.

I still think they were Margold Industrial G17K gloves, even on the blu-ray captures it will be difficult to pick out black on black detail from a distance and they'll look smooth, the lighting in these scenes isn't brilliant and I would imagine it wouldn't capture the detailing perfectly. You could also wonder how well the transfer process onto blu-ray was done, it would have an effect on trying to pick out minute detail, especially when it's black on black, moving and at a distance.

 

These are Marigolds, the pic was taken admittedly only with an 8mp camera so it gets a little grainy out of direct light but it's comparable to those blu-ray captures.

 

The glove from an 12" distance right next to a window in daylight

Same glove from 18" in the same room but out of direct sunlight

Those blu-ray shots we are studying were (even at their closest) taken from a lot further than 18" away and these were still, the actors were moving..

 

We'll probably never know for 100% certain and anyway I hate rubber, I really wish they'd used leather  :P

Is that the Marigold hatching on the rubber?

 

 

The lighting was in reality only slightly different on the two pics I took for post #21, I moved a few feet away from the window and retook the picture with the light behind me shining straight onto the back of the glove, yet they look like different gloves..

The original gloves are Marigold type washing up gloves and not the heavy NBC chemical gloves. Take a look at Hans gloves here and you see they are Marigold with the textured grips.
