Well reading the thread got me thinking about ordering a nice pair of light coloured gloves from Chester Jefferies, or perhaps a pair of the peccary ones on eBay. Then I went out this morning, and happened to find these in a vintage clothing store - NOS buckskin gloves by 'Webbs', made in England with black handstitching and the little triangular darts on the fingers. The best part is they cost me about 15% of what Chester Jefferies would have charged!
I have a pair of these exact gloves that get worn all winter. I just wash them with soap and water when they start getting dingy (which they will). I enjoy them as much as any piece of apparel I own.
Ordered two pair of Madova gloves yesterday, will post pictures when they arrive. One pair is unlined, color 208 (burgundy), and the other cashmere lined, color 203 (dark tan).
Can someone tell me what the three lines on the back of many gloves do? Is it just for appearance? I just noticed this when i was looking at some gloves at chester jefferies.

Do you require points (3 stitched lines) on the back of the item?

My Madova gloves arrived today. I'm very happy with them, especially the dark tan ones with cashmere lining. I think they will match my Alfred Sargent Chatham shoes very well (just ordered waiting for them to arrive).
In this price range (about 55 Euro) I would recommend anyone to try Madova.
