My bad, I dunno why I keep thinking it's 3rd pair lol
Please upload the photos, I really want to see those fading !
Nah, I'm done spreading any negativity, you knows how it goes. I have already shared my side of the story, no need to ask me to roll on that forever. Like 10 years later share a pic of them broken in ashes, that's not what I do.
Damn. I like the look of these but I want to see how this situation is handled with the creased gloves
I think the stock version is now off their website now? Idk since I haven't talked to uma since, but I don't see them on the site anymore. The whole story of how it is handled is already here. I ordered the stock version, first pair came in creased, loose thread all over, pretty disastrous in term of look, lack of rubber grip in term of functionality. So uma sent me a second pair for free, they came in even more creased, but everything else is tidied up, no loose thread, good printing, leather palm, with rubber grip tag. And after I did the ironing on the leather, majority of creases are gone on the second pair and they look fairly well and basically solved the problem. (I tried to iron the first pair too, but the creases were too deep on that pair to change anything.) So yeah this is how they go, I certainly haven't paid that much to ask for a third pair or anything more, I didn't even ask for a second pair, I was fine with a standard return+refund, sending me the second pair is already very generous.
What I would say though is, whether the stock version is still available or not, you might want to consider custom ultra, since that seems to be the way to get you a perfect gloves. If the custom isn't in your consideration, my recommendation is stay away from the metallic blue+white, then you might be just fine.
