Recent purchases - Part II

[einstine]

Just got them in UPS delivered them to me at 8:30pm late as ****, anyways...

All the fingers fit great except for the thumb, the thumb is shaped like a huge triangle LOL


I dont know why they are like this it is completely stupid, the tip of my thumb hardly reaches the **** where the glove is suppose to be pulled over to allow use of a touch screen. All the other fingers fit as if they were molded to my hand, and yes my thumb is normal and not in the slightest way smaller then normal or disfigured. lol

So im returning them.
So I'm back on the glove hunt, any recommendations?

My BoO wool pants just came in, super happy with the fit and color. Here's a close-up:



The flash betrays the true color of dark green.

Those gloves were from Stone Island's one-off collab with Nerds candies. The extra room in the thumb is where you dump the Nerds and store them during your daily adventures. The gloves of course never caught on, and sadly it's still considered weird to remove your glove and dump into your mouth the Nerds you've been keeping warm beside your thumb all day.

Buying gloves online is so hit or miss, just go to any sporting goods store and get some plain black softshell gloves without obvious branding - they'll be warm enough for city use. I've never had a pair of "fashion" gloves that I really enjoyed wearing, more of a technical item

Something like this is decent:

Don't you already have a VISVIM Valdez that's similar? Maybe I'm misremembering - looks good though.

Is that card good @ MMM boutiques/eshop? Since Yoox handles their stuff and all...

I wish, only good on Yoox. I question wether they count my purchases at Margiela because I barely buy anything from Yoox. It has to be related because otherwise they just chose me out of thin air

Don't you also get early private room access with that or do they not offer it anymore?

I have used it maybe twice. Have not read the fine print yet. I do have a personal number I can call. I have to see if that is true. They haven't emailed me about early access though

 

[GoldenTribe]

If you're a Yoox Superstar, the 20% off and free shipping is only activated at certain times (every 2-3 months).

Early access to the private room was Dec. 6 - 11, and it was the kind of boring over-priced selection of basic crap I expect from Mr Porter.

But does it stack with normal coupons? That's what really matters here.
