Please let me apologize for the lack of news and updates. Unfortunately, I haven’t have anything new to report and it’s been difficult trying to get new information to share with everyone. Please understand that it is not my intention to rip anyone off or skip out on this project. I know that those of you who joined this project are frustrated, but believe me—nobody can be more frustrated about this project than me.
I started out with my original glove maker who said he could deliver the new run of gloves. He parted ways with his manufacturer and was not able to find a new manufacturer who would agree to do a small run of gloves. He recommended another supplier to me and IÂ’ve been trying to continue the project with the new supplier. She has sent me a prototype, but it wasnÂ’t completely accurate. It was solid tan, and needed a couple of small panels added where the Velcro wrist closures are.
IÂ’ve let her know what needs to be corrected and sent even more pictures of what the gloves need to look like. However, her manufacturer is backlogged due to an extremely large order placed by Wal-Mart. Unfortunately, Wal-MartÂ’s order is considered more important and our run has been postponed again. IÂ’m more aggravated about this than anybody else. IÂ’ve been instructed to and contact my new supplier the first week of January for the next update.
Thank you to my friends who have stood up for me in my absence. I certainly appreciate it. ItÂ’s been embarrassing and frustrating not having anything to report, and that has been one of the reasons that I havenÂ’t been around much. Please feel free to contact me personally if you have signed up for this project or have any questions. Those of you who sent me deposits also have my personal phone number and are welcome to call me if you like. I am not taking any more orders for this project now, but will most likely order several extra pairs of gloves when this project completes so that anybody who is not already involved with this run will be able to order them from me when the gloves finally arrive. I wish that I had more news to share, but unfortuneately, I donÂ’t. Be assured, that when I finally have something new to report, I will be posting here to let everyone know the status.
Thank you for your continued patience,
Russell
