This method is IMO better as the exact silhouette of your hand is captured, not a slightly 'looser' version (as pen tracings are wont to end up as).


What was the turnaround on these?

What colour are they in? I also have a hard time visualising their colours given on the website.

Thanks.

Got them at Danier Leather (Canadian leather brand). They're on sale now, $39 each.

I'll post pics later
Same here. I don't like glove stitching where the edges are exposed. I saw a pair at Saks (retail $200) and it looked like two sheets of leather hastily put together. I like the smoother "inseam" stitching..

I thought shearling was "the whole package"; outside+lining.

I think CashmereLover is correct - the content label just says 'Shearling' so that includes both outside and lining.

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!
