Ok, so I'm in the market for a pair of good leather gloves.
I think I'll probably go with shearling lining, as I already have spring/autumn gloves for the less cold periods.
My problem though, is that every time I buy gloves I feel that they turn ugly after not too long. They expand an atrocious ammount, to the point where bordering on too snug becomes way too roomy. Also, the leather gets very wrinkly and ugly.
Am I going for the wrong kind of leather, the wrong leather thickness or what?
Or is it just a question of the quality of the leather?
Last gloves I bought were a pair of black Zegna gloves, so I was expecting them to hold up relatively well.
If you please, could someone inform me of what to look for when buying a new pair to avoid them going the way of the previous pairs? Ie leather type, leather thickness, fit etc...
Thank you in advance
