Hi there, Stories often present beautiful sounding ideas for bondage equipment which can't actually be made with the materials they are professed to be made from. These opera-style gloves would probably fall into this category. Basically, in this case, the problem boils down to the strain put on the fabric at the point where the gloves are laced together. Imagine eyelets in fabric being pulled apart by the strength of somebody's elbows taut behind the back flexing. Leather (and thick rubber) works in the case of a single-sleeve glove becaus ethe eyelets are punched through two layers of leather, and lie at 90° to the angle of pull - ie, they're not being pulled outwards of the fabric - but having some kind of eyelets or rings being pulled outwards of the fabric - perpendicular to its surface - is a recipe for the whole device being torn to shreads the moment the bindee struggles, sneezes, burps, or indeed just breathes suddenly. A product called bondage opera gloves exists - I have some in my collection - limited usefulness but they look great and are completely leather. http://www.stockroom.com/Bondage-Opera-Gloves-P1001.aspx Hope this helps.
