Further to my earlier thread some days / weeks back, i accidentally learned during my research into the five and arc on brands that the famed kushitani was officially represented in the UK through a really nice chap called jonny king. i have spoken to him and have since ordered a pair of the gpr6 gloves. cant wait to see if they live up to the hype. im a real big fan of craftsmanship and with a fairly impressive pedigree im keen to see how good the gloves really are. i was also pleased to learn that a bricks and mortar store will soon be launched up north and im discussing a custom suit with jonny for sometime in the future happy to post my initial impressions once i receive the gloves if anyone is interested. if in the meantime you need to reach them here are the details Jonny King Managing Director Kushitani UK T: +44 (0) 1205 820114 [email protected] let him know ravi sent you (and he'll prob jack up prices!)

Yup +1 to all that's been said I got a set of the race gloves, and the stitching on one at the pinky was just a millimeter or so low. It meant that the stitching sat just under the nail and was a little uncomfortable. I sent Johnny a mail and he sent me a new pair he also tried both pairs and sent me a mail informing me of the findings. Initially I was going to get a set of large (I have thin hands but long fingers) and he told me the mediums should be fine, however if he was wrong he'd gladly swap them & he was bang on. Very friendly and first class service I find the gloves well made and probably the second most comfortable pair I've had, they are pretty understated to look at but to my eye extremely well made. The Knox Handroids I still find the most comfortable, but I do worry about the reports on them, all the plastic hardware and the external stitching on the Knox's. I'd be surprised if you are disappointed with the Kushitanis John
