I'll be waiting for pics. Thanks!
Ordered on the 29th. They said it would take 3-4 weeks to make and ship it. No shipping notice given out, but there was tracking (not given out either) and I had to sign for it. Package came in on the 20th, but I wasn't there to pick it up until today. So about 3 weeks, 2 days for creation and delivery.

Here are the pictures and a comparison with a FG5000 I bought direct from Winning USA. It is definitely the real deal. Don't know if the gold half is real leather, but it doesn't look like the type that would be discolored easily. Came in a Winning box with a brown paper sheath so you can use the box as decoration and a tag in Japanese.

Thanks guys, I think the flat gold is, "calm real leather gold" on the headgear options. You can do the same with silver. In the meantime gonna sell my other headgear.

Put in a custom order for:
CPS-500 Protective Cup None L x 1
MS-600 Pro Gloves None x 1
FG-5000 Headgear None 2L x 1

All custom color. Head gear and gloves have screen printing.

Order placed 10/26
Billed 10/31
Emailed Kamamiki at english@winning.plamail.jp for status of my order(This is 3 weeks + 1 day after I was billed) 11/17
Receieved reply that my equipment will finish this week and will get a tracking # when shipped on 11/18
Tracking # received today 11/22

Smooth so far, I'm enjoying the quick response times with English Japan email.

My order with Rakuten had a hic-up since I'm just custom text font-type as well with colors(which was an extra charge).

Anyone ever ask if you can do customization like Grant's custom gear with Winning?

I think I'll ask for custom design next month or Jan with images, colors, and texture(like that alligator leather, thinking about it thought, this is only a maybe).

Side-note:
I think we should have an end-all custom gear ordering thread with how-to's, processing, wait-time's etc. with different brands compiled in one post so we don't have so much searching to do or new threads for new people interested.

Good to hear that your order went through fast even though you had more gear and custom lettering than I did.

I have never seen any Winnings with custom images or textures, so it's best to contact them and see.

From previous threads, Grants are around the price of Winnings give or take a few. Their customer service isn't great so be patient. It's best to find a picture on their facebook page (their main webpage) of what you want and tell them to make it (swap colors or sizes).

Then there is the Mexican Boxing Equipment thread. Lots of different brands that can be customized for a little more than the price of normal gear if you don't want to spend as much.
