I had lost one of my taupe leather gloves which matched my everyday winter coat. I like very nice things, but will buy nothing unless it on sale at a good price. To have found these gloves in that subtle taupe shade (Portolano's MOUSE) made me very happy - and the price, even more so. I ordered them immediately, without reading the reviews.
The quality of the leather, the cashmere lining and stitching are all excellent. My sole reason for not giving 5 stars across the board is simply because the individual fingers do seem to be sized a bit slimmer than say Fownes' or Montesfusco's, yet the palms fit perfectly. Enough to 'feel tight' initially, but not problematic enough to return or exchange. Simply flexed the digits a bit to stretch out the fingers the first few times I put them on. Had I read the Reviews, I may have given more thought to ordering a 1/2 size larger. Others had mentioned the slimmer cut, I notice, now that I've looked back.
However, I am more than pleased (my first ever Overstock purchase) to have scored warm, elegant. high quality gloves which will last me for years - and I've already sewed name tags inside - I don't want to lose these!!!
