Well nearly!!!
On March 8th 2011 we sold our very first pair of gloves the retro inspired FL-1, I'm pleased to say the first customer is still buying F-Line gloves four years later.
It's been an enjoyable first four years in an ever changing market but we feel that the F-line brand is getting stronger and the feedback we get from customers reaffirms this.
Back to recent events. Our Thermo-Tec model has been well received and we hope to have the exclusive Shock-Tec Finger Protection models on site very soon, as well as offering you the chance to create your own SMU in this design. Contact us for more details.
The Envy Roll Finger is turning into a best seller and for those waiting on the "arrow" models these will be on the way from our factory within the next few weeks along with more junior gloves.
Right, we are off for a glass of bubbly and start of our 5th year!!

Fire the Arrow!!
The eagle-eyed amongst you may have seen a new model on the site, well sort of.
Yesterday we took delivery of a very small quantity of retro gloves, the FL-9, 10 and 11. The glove junkies out there may have spotted they bear more than a passing resemblance to the legendary reusch gloves from the 1990's, this is quite intentional.
The classic Arrow was first seen at Italia World Cup '90, when great keepers such as West Germany's Bodo Illgner sported them. The keepers were forced, due a FIFA clampdown on logo placements on goalkeeper gloves to cover up the branding adorning their gloves. England's Peter Shilton used tape to cover his logo on his Uhlsport gloves. The German glove meisters at reusch created the Arrow model for their top keepers to wear in the closing stages, staying within the FIFA rules and Illgner went onto lift football biggest prize.
These three models are our tribute to such a great design.

Stock turnaround
17/10/14
Another Friday, another blog update.
We have received several emails during the week regarding stock availability. We do our utmost best to keep all sizes and glove cuts in stock but sometimes we get a spike in sales on a particular glove. This was particularly true with the latest delivery we received, we found, due to the amount of pre-orders of size we knew before the stock even arrived in the UK we didn't have enough 8's on board to cover demand. Historically 8's have never been one of our greatest sellers and even with the larger orders we now place with the factory we knew this time we were going to struggle. The good news is we have another order currently in production and those waiting on the size 6 and 8 will be pleased to hear there's plenty on the order sheet.
Until next week.
Keep it clean.

Welcome to the blog
Good day!!
Welcome to the "new" F-Line Blog. we have tried our hand at blogging in the past but we are back with regular updates, hopefully!!
We will try, via this blog to keep you updated with whats happening with all things F-Line.
It's been a busy few weeks, with lots of deliveries to sort and orders to post out. Stock levels are pretty high with just size 6 and 8, we hope to have these sizes back on the shelves before the end of the month.
The Meister Protect is proving very popular, this glove has the option of removable finger spines. If you do intend to keep the spines we would advise moving up one full size.
If you follow us on twitter or have liked our page on Facebook you will have seen we are offering FREE UK delivery all weekend.
Have a good weekend.
