Dying leather gloves?

So I ordered a pair of bespoke gloves from Chester-Jefferies and while I can't in any way complain about the quality or fit, the colour is about 10 shades lighter than I was expecting. Before I placed my order, I emailed to ask their recommendation on a "very dark burgundy". They told me which colour that was, I ordered, and a few weeks later the gloves arrived. But instead of a dark burgundy, the gloves I pulled out of the package were a dusty rose.

So now I'm left with what look like a very feminine looking pair of bespoke gloves. I've tried using polish to darken them, but it seems to be a temporary solution at best. Within a couple days they lighten back up. Anyone know a way I might go about permanently dying them darker?

Well then, would either of you geniuses mind sharing why using polish is both dumb and useless? Or did you just feel like dropping in to be smug and useless?

You might also want to note that the thread is about 1) realizing polish isn't working, and 2) asking what I should be doing instead. But thanks for your helpful contributions... asses.

... and blocked!

Thank you. That is a very helpful and polite suggestion.

I have no problem receiving advice. In fact, as should be abundantly evident from my initial post, I came here specifically seeking advice. I'm not sure how people are getting the impression I've run here seeking to "undo" some mistake I've made. The use of polish has far from "ruined" the gloves; they look antiqued, and actually have quite a nice patina to them. Still not the colour I was expecting to receive given the description I was given. But still far from ruined. Not to mention - they still keep my hands warm.

I came looking for advice on the best way to proceed from where I am now to the objective I'm aiming for. Man of Lint didn't proffer any very sound advice in his initial response. Indeed, his whole comment consisted of a single word: "dumb". How is that helpful? Or, for that matter, how is that advice? Admittedly, his second post was *somewhat* more helpful, though his tone was characteristically dickish as always.

While there is no doubt that styleforum has always had a strain of prickliness about it (at least in the 3 years I've been lurking about), but I've noticed an increasing number of posters around here who engage in unhelpful, rude, and condescending discourse with those seeking genuine advice. Internet anonymity is no excuse for being a pratt or abandoning common courtesy. People generally don't act this way in real life as there are consequences; there's always a chance the person you snub your nose at could decide that nose would look better if it was inverted. There's no threat on the internet, and so, seemingly, the social contract breaks down. I'm tired of it. There are other ways to work through your lingering teenage angst than in what should be a space for helpful discussion. So I called out Man of Lint exactly how I would have if I'd asked him in person and he'd given the same useless, rude response. He was being an asshole. So he got like in return.

I dare say it is rather odd that you would suggest I take his advice with humility, when he offered it with none.
