OH! They are starting out with a lot of black material. VERY NICE FIND!
They will be very easy to convert. Awesome.

So looking at my gloves a little closer they don’t have the extra “rib” at the wrist and I don’t think they will be ok to use. 
Will they still be ok? Or do I need that extra part?

Just scored these.
And these are screen used ones.

Rats. Those are missing the cuffs, you need them to add a gunmetal gray trim to (if you're going for 1:1).
Also, they had the white on the bends of the fingers. Should be a solid piece on the fingers like your new set.
The first set are close but not 1:1, good to practice on.
The new ones are looking good! And also original black fabric. That helps so much.

I was disappointed when I actually sat down with the first set and realized they were not right. Spent two days looking and found the new set that look a lot closer to 1:1 Can’t wait to get them here and have one piece checked off the list

Hi Jim, I had exactly the same problem as you. I actually bought 2 different pairs of cooper gloves and both pairs were not 1-1 screen accurate either. Eventually like you I now have the same gloves as you have purchased in black and white. Just follow the tutorial on the board to do the trimming on the gloves and you will have a true pair of screen accurate Cylon gloves.

are you selling the other pair of gloves?

Have not really thought about selling the other pairs of gloves to be honest. I guess I could do as I have no use for them and could recover some money on my mistakes buying them.

I did the same thing as you two
...my tutorial is my first *not quite right* set of gloves. My finished costume has the correct type. I guess it's a common deal, at least a three-peat.
My first set are still around, they are handy for all sorts of fun stuff... Fan Films, back-ups, etc.
