Let me see what I can do.
Had to cut the thumb attachment on these gloves by the way - kept stubbing my thumb coz it was locked in a straight-forward position.
As time's going on i'm not so sure I even like these gloves, I find myself missing my old grants more and more.

billboxing is a rookie! Class in session...
Hello all. My name is Bill Beaulieu (billboxing) and I've done reviews, evaluations, met and collected maufacture history on several famous glove makers. Dan Mosby of the Flores brand has passed away this past June, so no more Flores. I considered Dan to be a great personal friend first, then a true artist when it came to (old school) glove making. That means only 1/4" backhand foam and then a combination synthetic hair padding for extra hand safety. Beautiful work, great quality and comfort.I knew Al Shevlin and his starting out and the family carrying on his tradition. Flawless quality, easy to work with too. Just remember to order the right size for you and to expect the glove to be very tight when you first receive them. Training gloves of this type need breaking in, just like a new baseball glove. Order with confidence and enjoy. Grant makes a nice modern foam filled glove, but the two types are, feel and react differently........Good luck. Billboxing

Hey Bill!
Welcome to the forum!
Just wanted to thank you again for responding to me on eBay about those Flores & Shevlin gloves.
Really wish I had the money at the time to pick up those Flores gloves.
Condolences on the loss of Dan, he sounded like someone I would've liked to have met.
