Portolano 'Jakarta' 13-inch Cashmere Gloves

100% Cashmere...yeah right! These gloves felt more like a burlap sac. Trust me...if you're looking for cashmere, and have some idea of what cashmere feels like, don't expect these to feel anything like that. They fit well and they looked fine, and they were wearable gloves, but they felt nothing like cashmere. I also bought a 100% cashmere scarf from this brand, and it was just as rough.

These gloves are great. I have long fingers and I often have trouble finding gloves that don't keep my fingers pinned together, but that also aren't baggy in the hand. These fit perfectly. The long length is very nice - when the wind blows up your coat sleeve your wrists are protected. Material is soft and warm. Today was extra cold, so I layered them under leather gloves, and that worked out fine - not too bulky. My only quibble is that the left one is starting to get pulls at the bottom as it keeps getting caught on my bracelet, but that would probably happen with any knit.

What a nice pair of gloves, the color is great. I bought the pink, something different for this year. They are soft, and long enough to cover your forearem. Here in northern Arizona, its very cold in the morning, but nice in the afternoon and these fit just right in the pocket or purse. Will order another pair.
