: : : : I recently visited my local hardware store and asked if they sold
: : : : Midwest gloves. To my delight, they did, but did not have model
: : : : #850 (from previous posts, the authentic gloves worn by our hero)
: : : : in stock. I asked if they could order a pair, but when the
: : : : salesperson looked it up in his catalog, the model was 850VL and
: : : : was described as having a deer lining. I never read anyone saying
: : : : the gloves had a lining and just wanted to know if there was a
: : : : model 850 (without the VL), or did Iny's gloves have that lining.

: : : : Any input is (as always) greatly appreciated.

: : : At my local home dopot i found a 851 but i hav not found a 850 i wonder if they have changed the model number or droped the 850

: : 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!

: Where can I get a pair of 'Well's Lamont "grips" model'? Or could you direct me to the post that michaelson mentioned these?

They can be found at any Walmart store, or like store. Regards. Michaelson
