Source for Hoth (Luke and Han's) gloves?

I know they are 'white', unmodified (other than the comlink) welders gloves (more gauntlets, really). The cuff is suede and the hand parts is smooth leather.
I've done a search and plenty of people have found them, and have found them locally but nobody posts where to actually find them! :cry
A little help, here?
 
If these are the same as the Snowtrooper Commander gloves I think jdpilot might have some. :confused ....or a source.
 
I turned these:

Amazon.com: Prestigious Welding Glove - 14.5" - Pearl Grain Leather - 1 Pair - Large - DEERSOsoft: Home Improvement

Into these:

I am quite pleased with them.
 
I tried the usual ink removal methods to no avail, I ended up wetsanding using 600 grit sandpaper to remove most of the ink. I didn't need to remove all of it, as I then brushed on some white fabric paint. I then mixed a small amount of black into some white and got a darn near perfect gray for the gauntlets, made sure not to lose the texture of the suede, and weathered to taste.
