    I bought a used pair of Grant 18 oz sparring gloves on Ebay. However, when I received them, I noticed it says "Made in China" on a tag on the inside. So I was just wondering if anyone here knows whether or not Grant has ever manufactured in China? The person on eBay said these were purchased around 2003 from the Title website, so they are at least 14 years old. I'm just trying to verify if they are real or not. I would post some pics on here but I'm not sure if there is a way to attach them.

    Never mind, I emailed Grant the pics, and they said they are legit. Not sure if there is a way to delete a thread...

    Yeah, I think some of the really old Grant gloves were made in China. Some say the old made in China gloves are better quality than the current ones.

    Yeah, I have to say these gloves feel really nice, especially for being as old as they are. From what I've read online, the general consensus seems to be that the older Grants are better overall and more durable than the current ones, while the current Grants have better quality leather and look cooler.
