Beaulieu Boxing Equipment

hi folks , let me clear some things here.
firstly the metalic leather costs double the cost of regular cowhide ,so if we base the price of the gloves on the price of the leather then it should have been increased to double to what we call base price , but since it has gone up only $50 you guys can imagine that our profit margin remains same THERE IS SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY IN METALIC COLOR GLOVES AS THERE IS IN REGULAR GLOVES.
we got it arranged because it was wanted by many here.the increase in price hardly covers the cost of it.
plus in metalic leather the wastage during making a pair is 2 times more then regular cow hide because the metalic foil is not evenly applied on leather and we have to cut the only best parts of the leather and remaining faded or less lustrous parts go to wastage.
while in regular leather the colors are made using pigments which are evenly distributed on leather sheet.
we try to make best of the best for you guys and will keep doing so , but pleas consider the fact that somethings costs more then the others.
thanks for your support and appreciation of our work.

+1. Very clear and concise. People need a better perspective on the wholesale end to understand how prices are set retail wise.
 
No because the price difference between the FG-2900 and the cost of Beaulieu is pretty damn close you might as well get the FG2900
 
I have a project coming up. Possibly one of the best looking gloves ever.
 
Good luck with that.

Looks like the Mexican's have a tree that grows metallic leather.

With all respect to Muhammad and Bill, you two gentlemen should offer a special discount on this metallic version to the established board members like flamingredhead. Maximum 165 dollars let we say.

Just my 2c.

Haha. I'm not asking for a special price for myself, I just want them to be fair in general about it. Soon enough Bill will be the next Grant.

Itd be nice though right?

Grant is all marketing and contacts, really one of the only things to separate them from the rest of the pack. Thats why Bill will never be Grant.

It would be nice haha.

That's not what I meant when i said that. I meant that he's just gonna continue to raise his prices because he can. And then tell us stuff like "oh the leather costs way more." And as long as others have no problem paying the high prices it will continue on and then poor ass fighters like me can't afford to get the nice gear haha.
 
The way I look at it i can get 2nd best in a color I want for about $210 or so dollars after its shipped, or I can go but the #1 best in Winning for $40 more and just have to live with a plain color. Honestly I think I could survive having a plain color knowing the quality of winning.

That is a good point, it's the exact point why I got my winnings before I got Bills, but now that ortho foam, metallic & exotic skins are available, I'm going with Muhammad.

I already know what winning tastes like.

See I want to get gloves from Bill for the customization, but I really do not want to have to pay barely below the cost of Winnings for them.

I mean, EVENTUALLY the gear guru inside you is going to want to have both pairs. I just got my winnings before I got my bills. Either way, trust me you're probably gonna end up getting both in the future. Lol

oh i know haha, I hate this sad truth but it will happen! I mean ive been trying for month to justify custom winnings haha! But I will probably do a plain color.

On standard Winnings can you get custom lettering on them at least?

Custom lettering, it depends. Screen print is possible for free on Winning. Embroidery isn't. I forgot the price
