RAF gloves

Anybody know if any company still makes the RAF diagonal-zipper gloves? From what I can tell, the usual suspects don't any more.

You must be referring to Garcia- I was sure they used to make them but I can't see them on their list...

Thanks for the links, guys...didn't know about the flightjacket.com ones, and I don't know how my search at Aero didn't turn those up. Any recommendations?

Garcia did used to make them, and sold them for about 40 bucks, and I was under the impression that the ones at Aeros site were in fact Garcia gloves. I have a pair of the straight zip gauntlets they used to make, great gloves, not 100% accurate but they are pretty nice.

My RAF gloves from flightjacket.com have "Garcia Aviation" stamped on the interior of the gauntlet. The ones on Aero's website look identical to mine; they are probably both from Garcia Aviation. I don't think you can go wrong either way.
