The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

I’m calling out to the brits for some costume help. I’m looking for a pair of gloves. They are black leather and described as police slash resistant gloves or Kevlar motorcycle gloves. Please see the attached pics.
And they are only made in the UK. I heard they are discontinued but still available in some areas. Perhaps surplus shops or second hand. If you guys could ask around , I would appreciate it. Thanks and cheers!

PS: I’ve seen gloves that are close, but not quite. They are called ‘M300 Public Order Gauntlet’

As it happens I am going to Anchor Army Surplus this week looking for headset parts, I'll make sure I look because I know they used to stock them.

Thanks!

If anyone finds a pair. Size small (I'll settle for Medium too). Just lemme know how much. Hopefully they don't cost an arm and a leg.

Not exactly the same as the ones you are looking for I'm afraid.

The description is a bit vague, so anything regarding manufacturer or model would be useful

Depends on if more of them get discovered in Stores. I'll keep my eyes open when I get to the large depot in Ripley and Irish in Leicester

Thanks again for the feedback. The only description I have is that they are 'slash resistant gloves'. Look closely at the pics. The pads on the thumb are 2 parts, and the gloves extend to cover wrists. I don't know the manufacturer. If I get more info, I'll post it.
