You get what you pay for with a glove.If you want to pay around $100 for a glove the thickness of the material used and the quailty of the leather gloves is not going to be as high as a more expensive glove.The other thing to take into consideration is the build timeTo get a real good quality replica it takes a long time to make a glovethere are people who can knock a glove out in a matter of hours and do them for Low prices which is great, But you have to think that these people can't afford to keep making gloves if they are underselling there work.This is why the Likes of Anders and other more expensive makers will stay around hopefullythey use the best materials and they take there time building the gloves so they are as accurate and hard wearing at the same time.making gloves takes these guys ages to learn as they are probably one of the trickest props to replica to a high standard of a replicaand so they need to charge a good price for there time and effort.Chris from Top Shelf has just retired from makng gloves due to costs and the fact that ebay have screwed with his finances with the banning of them.Budget gloves are great for the money but If you want to put together a great costume and your asking all the questions about everything relating to Freddy Costumes why not save up and get the high end stuff.There are only a few people making the gloves now so it's not as hard to choose from as it was a year ago and this is down to people wanting good replica gloves but not being prepared to pay the price for someones hard work.
