cape·skin... capeskin gloves (don't know the relationship to kidskin) ....
Magnifique. Merci infiniment... en verite je connaissais ce vers de par Edward Gorey.I decided to pipe in just to finish Corneille's verse:
Ô rage . ô dÃsespoir . ô vieillesse ennemie .
N'ai-je donc tant vÃcu que pour cette infamie ?

Andrey,I ordered two pairs of bespoke Merola gloves (although not for me, but for my girlfriend). Here are the facts:
* 100 euros for two pairs (one cashmere lined and another one unlined), including postage
* 1.5 months wait (one month for exchange of e-mails / making, 2 weeks for postage)
* they don't accept credit cards. You have to pay either via Wester Union or by bank transfer
* handstitched
* wide selection of colours / leathers / styles etc. (they are bespoke makers, after all)
* they fit the hands of my girlfriend like... a glove.
* I never visited Rome and ordered from Moscow (using e-mail and a fax machine)
In conclusion: highly satisfied, recommended.
Hope that helps.
Andrey
P.S.: Don't order in august. There are no one there in this month.
You got that right. No place I called knows anything more than that I'm looking for a pair of black leather gloves. At this point, some lucky bastard has probably discovered they are Hermes. Oh well.Quick tip: If you ever leave something at a restaurant, bar, club, etc... Don't ever say "I'm calling to see if you found a pair of Hermes gloves that I left there last night."
  Instead, say "I spoke with one of your managers last night, and they told me to call this afternoon to pick up the pair of gloves that was left there last night." Say this regardless of where such a conversation ever existed.
TimelessRider,Thank you for all the information. Â A few questions, if you don't mind:
(1) Was an outline of your girlfriend's hands sufficient for Merola to determine size?
(2) How did you end up describing the style? Â Their website seems to show only a limited number of styles.
You had to know this was coming... If the gloves don't fit, you must acquit.At this point, some lucky bastard has probably discovered they are Hermes. Â Oh well.
They make great gloves.Chester Jeffries.
I can't seem to find their url through google, but it's been posted here or on Ask Andy.
I bought my wife a pair of MTM gloves from them for Christmas and was very happy with them, as was she. They are red capeskin with a fur lining, handsewn (remarkable work) and were cheap by English standards, only about ten pounds more than Dents.
