@Ikane Yes the red looks lovely. Also I'm not too sure about the situation with the white piping but I saw you mention that in another thread so clearly it's bothering you. Try to send a message to Steve Mitani or PM shihtzu, one of them may be able to provide the answer you're looking for.
I know what the answer will be you have to pay more for custom. How is the hand compartment in the 12oz? i have have big hands my 16oz winning was snug for me i was thinking of getting some 12oz velcro's for the bags. Do you think 12oz would be ok with some one with large hands.
I already answered that in the review. I have really large hands also and as I said in the review, until break-in the gloves might feel too small/slightly uncomfortable, but as you break the gloves in the leather stretches a little to the extent your hands need (or at least it did for me) and the fit is pleasant.
