Lemans Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I used to deal with Thurlow Leatherworld in San Diego...custom made deerskin leather products of very high quality, but am no longer able to contact them by phone or on the net. Sorry. Link to comment
Deadboy Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I would think Lee Parks Design could make you up just about anything you wanted....not sure of your exact needs but it may be worth contacting them.... http://www.leeparksdesign.com/default.asp Link to comment

And they're shipping for free in July. Link to comment
mrzoom Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 I'm using Lee's now but the fit is bad and Lee his self fitted me at the cycle show!! Bad hands I have. Can hardly get them on after 6 months of use. I need XL across the hand and short fingers. The ones that I can get on overlap the levers when I shift and brake. Used Thurlow for years but they all are worn out. I'll give Lee a call and see if the light weight will fit any better. Link to comment
brianbmw Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I use these, they really do help with the vibration. http://www.qwinerveprotector.com/ Link to comment
bmw_rider Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Don't confuse Thurlows of SD with company with very similar name out of southern Wisconsin. They are NOT related. I am still using the 15year old Thurlows from SD. If you can track them down, it will be worth it. Link to comment
longjohn Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 +1 on the Thurlows. I still have a summer and winter pair and I still have the mink oil that he gave with each pair he sold. Every spring and fall, when I change gloves they get a new coating of the mink oil. Seems these will last forever. I'm really disappointed he is no longer in business. Maybe lee parks is the next best thing to the Thurlows. Link to comment
Francis Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 You might look into "Held" brand gloves. Link to comment

That super soft deer leather was wonderful. Link to comment
