Fashion Jam: gloves

[Jbird]

Going thru all my gloves, I can only find the pair of my heavy duty-keep your hands warm in -F° gloves.
All the others I can find either the left or right hand, but not both One pair, I know I lost the one glove at work, had them heading out to my car, got in my car and drove home, got home and only had the one glove (in the coat pocket).

So I'm looking to get a pair of warm gloves for Fall/early Winter, since I have my extreme cold gloves.

Looking at these Dents gloves at the moment, Made in England since 1777: https://us.dentsgloves.com/collecti...ts/mens-warm-lined-touchscreen-leather-gloves

Any other recommendations? @Motorik ?

If they are made anyway at all like the Rover co. makes cars you should take a hard pass

Part of me wants to get gloves made from hair sheep leather because it sounds cool. The other part of me doesn’t want to deal with the mess from gloves that leak oil.

Honestly all the British cars are basically shite....at least from the engineering aspect. They must have weird metallurgy because all their stuff seems to rust but weirdly enough penetrating oil frees them up and they don't break....the rest of their engineering is just batshit crazy

Will you be listening to every King Crimson album or only some of them?

These are what I always wear except for extreme cold/snowblowing, I've got mittens for that.

I have been wearing these for many years and love them. Very warm unless it gets stupid cold. Not very fashionable, just warm. And inexpensive.

Amazon product ASIN B015RPUC0A

Ok, these might not be bad. Made in the U.S.
Black, of course

Those fail in the fashion though. The OP ones are much more aesthetically pleasing

Fashions go out of style but, style is always in fashion.

Like, for doing work, or just walking around? I've found that even spending time in the freezers at work these do a pretty good job of keeping the chill off: http://www.mproline.com/nighthawk-superfit-work-gloves.html

I wear these for refereeing soccer (winter sport in NorCal). Since I use an apple watch for timing and keeping track of cards, score, etc. I appreciate that they can operate a touch screen

Otherwise, I have a pair of alpaca fingerless gloves I bought for my wife (she is allergic to wool). I figure they might work for her, but they made her itch, so they're mine now. Around here, I've never needed anything more.

Deerskin is the ideal material for gloves IMO. Durable, thin and flexible - even after getting wet a thousand times.

Most other leathers get stiff after getting wet a few times
(Unless the manufacturer oils the shit out of them) Deerskin naturally stays supple for some reason.

Wish I could help, but I've been living in a sub-tropical climate for the last 8 years. The only gloves I own are for gardening.
