As you know I have been searching for a RETRO material to replace the BUCKEY...

I think I have hit a goldmine!!

Stay tuned to www.goalielife.com for more details as they emerge. But I guarantee, you wont get any more vintage than this material! The samples are stunning and there will be at least 3 or 4 options depending on what the customer desires.

Also, for all our unique custom graphics, this stuff will lend a whole new colour range and level of realism to some of our unique custom graphics that we never could have achieved prior to the discovery of this material.

I need to get a set made up in this material for all of those seeking a REAL vintage look!

That's great news, Scott!

The retro look has always held a place in my heart, despite the fact that I really like how pads and gloves have integrated themselves into a team's color scheme. On the other hand, a brown leather look is instantly associated to the most important person on the ice.

Is this the same stuff I have been trying out? Hmmm!!! ;) Guess I will have to wait and see! If it is, then yes it does come in a lot of different colors and looks more like the real thing! Bucky never held up well and was hard to get...

There are about 6 different product lines different grains and textures on the skin side, some lines have 12 - 20 colours in them... but there are about 4 or 5 that would work as old school goal pad material colours.

Hm. As long as the pads only look like they ought to be stuffed with horsehair. :)

Scott, quick question:

Do you have colours in various weights of Cordura that match the new Retro-Jenpro materials?

Glad to hear this news..When I bought my Deceptor Combo set in 2006 I spoke with Scott about doing a RETRO Set...He advised at that time that the available stock was not up to the day to day work load and he felt the pads would not hold up....Although I was disappointed at the time ..I appreciated Scott's honesty about this.....That is why I promote him and his gear ever chance I get...I am anxious to have a look at the new/old gear A.S.A.P.....SERLY35
