My Granpa use to say, “you only get what you pay for...or pay peanuts, get the shells ...or at best the monkeys”.
Mine, as shown on the scans, good size 8+ in superb quality, made for officers in the 40ies are still available...

Could someone please ID these gloves? They are from the 1948 movie "Fighter Squadron". I'm looking for something that goes well with A-2s, without any cuffs (I don't understand how the A10's cuffs don't interfere with the A-2's cuffs), lighter shade than a seal brown A-2, and tight fitting, not bulky as an A-10.

Thanks!

At the ELC popup store I had a chance to try on their A-10 - not for me, too thick lining for low altitude flying. But then, I tried the 1942 pattern summer flying gloves. PERFECT! They are so beautifully made, fit like - well, like a glove :) - and I love the material and craftsmanship. I will definitely get myself a pair of those, in fact I'm sorry I didn't buy them when I was there. The best part is: The more oil and grime I get on them while flying the better they will look :)

A little update, my ELC 1942 summer flying gloves just arrived with the post. Perfect fit, wonderful craftmanship. Really, the bee's knees. If the weather permits I'm going flying this Sunday, I can't wait to get them dirty in the cockpit! :)
