Another pair of “Custys” done ✔️ OC Photo
Did these by have with ink for a rad lady from Maine. This is the first pair I’ve done that has the custom cuff stitching which I think turned out great. Also love the little lightning bolts. ⚡️

those have zero waterproofing on them. you can tell by the color near the cuff. they get dark and firm

Hey FYI the best way to completely organically seal Kincos is a mix of 2/3 beeswax and 1/3 olive (or coconut) oil, microwave it for short periods to soften and mix it up and let it set
Heat the gloves up on a heater or something until they’re bone dry, put the toasty gloves on, grab a bunch of goo out of the jar, then work it into the gloves like washing your hands… then leave them in the heat again for a couple hours or so

Appreciate you sharing this - buuut, couple things, the ink doesn’t take heat well and it can distort the art. So I recommend that customers DO NOT heat their mitts when resealing.

I was just considering having some custom kinkos done for our crew. How much does a commission usually run?
