Slayer,
I got my kangaroo glove from Big Jim's yesterday (and that was quick!). I've only had a chance to shoot a few dozen arrows with it so far, but I'm liking it a lot better than the current Damascus.
Sizing is pretty much the same; the finger stalls are pretty narrow, and maybe just a tad longer than the Damascus. Wrist strap fits the same.

The leather is much nicer. Just a little thicker, very soft and supple, whereas the Damascus feels kind of like paper. String feel is great, and it cushions the fingers very nicely at the same time. Feels less "slippery" than the Damascus, while giving better control of the string, and at least as clean a release.

May have been just the good day bad day thing, but my accuracy was quite noticeably better than it has been.
Again, just first impression with a new glove, but so far it seems to be just what folks have looking for when wishing the Damascus had a little more substance. Also: no twists in the sewing of the finger stalls.

Check out the Kangaroo glove sold by Big Jim.
Aint too thick or too thin.
It's a good glove for a Damascus type glove.
