Custom dive gloves?

[flippedr6]

So as the title states I’m looking to see if anyone knows of a place that makes custom wetsuit gloves? I know it’s a long shot but figured if anyone knows it would be here. The issue I have is back in 2017 I lost my right thumb(still looking for it, even put up lost and found posters ). The thumb part of the glove sometimes gets in the way just flapping around.

@JMJ Wetsuits perhaps?

cut it off and use some glue to hold the edges or sew it.

@grantctobin Thanks for asking; unfortunately we don't make them. I'll ask around and see if anyone on the team knows who might make them and post back.

Kind regards,
Derek & JMJ

k01 does have an option for custom sized gloves. There is no checkbox for custom number of fingers, but I would think if they can change the size, they could certainly omit a finger.

I agree why not just modify an existing glove.

You can modify the glove yourself, but just be sure you can still thumb the dive if your hand gets cold.

Aside from modifying the gloves yourself (if that's too complicated for some reason), find a pair of dive-gloves you like and call local tailors, to ask if they're comfortable working with neoprene.

This modification doesn't sound too bad. If I was going to do it myself, depending on thickness, I'd just flip cut the excess material, leaving up to an inch, flip the glove inside out, and use a sewing-machine to sew a line. Having tailored plenty of t-shirts, I would advise you to start leaving more material and space than you need on your first-line and checking the fit. Hopefully it's too loose. Next, sew a 2nd line slightly smaller, and check fit again. When you do finally get a good fit, you can feel free to cut excess cloth.

It's all too easy to make a mistake of making your first line such that the gloves are too small, which then means you have to use a seam-ripper which kinda sucks to use, and may damage the fabric.

A local canvas shop would be able to sew it up too.

Thanks every, basically I was thinking what most said and trying to modify the glove I already own. Don’t see and have never worked with neo before. But I guess it couldn’t be that bad to give it a try. Thank you everyone for the help and suggestions.
