It's purely a marketing play, no? You're sourcing goods manufactured overseas? Did you design anything new?

Nothing groundbreaking, but I did design a glove with my buddy who's an industrial designer. I basically created my ideal glove, which has some of the protective features of a race glove but none of the garish styling. Meant for regular street use, hence the "Ville" brand. Also has modern touches like conductive material on the index and thumb to allow basic smartphone use without taking a glove off.

Already working on a second design, which I will submit to my Pakistani supplier if and when my first batch sells well. Long-term goal is to add jackets and other moto goods to the mix.

But yes, I've researched the competition and it is very weak, marketing-wise. I got some good peeps working with me.

MrX when you have a minute, please measure your hand 1) from the tip of the middle finger to the base of the wrist (first wrinkle) and 2) across the palm at its widest point.

I was going to get them made in sizes S to 2XL, but I'm wondering whether I need to order a handful of 3XLs as well. Paki gloves run small. Americans run big.
