The elusive Midwest glove #850;

I believe is one of the more controversial Indy outfit items.

I tried Midwest directly, and all of the local hardware stores & shops-I could not get them.
The closest I found was the #851.

I agree with Michaelson; that the gloves may have been Wells Lamont's "Grips" Model.

I bought a pair myself for $10-12. They are the right color, unlined, and appear to be the same style.

Plus they are readily available; which would give one more reason to believe

that they were used instead of Midwest.

Anyway; as long as you have something close--I wouldn't sweat it!


But if someone has a picture--I wouldn't mind taking a look.

Happy Holidays!
