Hermes Gloves

[faust]

I am entertaining an idea of getting a pair of Hermes gloves for my birthday with all the money that I'll get (+some). I'm really not sure, because I don't really know the prices, the styles, etc. - I just know that Hermes quality is supreme and I'm tired of buying cheap leather gloves once a season that fall apart after I touch the snow (yes, I want to play snowballs in my leather gloves dammit!!!!).
Do Hermes gloves ever go on sale? Feel free to post any info and pictures.

Thank you

Faust

the cashmere gloves are really reasonable...depending on the length they won't cost you more than a few hundred.

What color are you planning on getting?....I'd probably go for black but I'm boring that way.

I want Hermes gloves

I had a pair of orange leather driving gloves, and I used to wear them soo much, people used to ask me if they were Hermes of course, they were from a thrift store for $10...they're destroyed now, and I definitely will not be getting enough dough to buy some Hermes... but I can go back to that thrift store and find another pair

Hermes has some great gloves.... Besides getting fantastic leather, you can also get some really interesting hardware, like Collier de Chien or a Kelly-like closure.. at the end of the glove...You could even get something specially made for you, if you want to get that creative. Good luck finding a pair you like...

what I saw at the store was about $800...
I think Patagonia is right for playing snowballs.

i agree with that...leather does not do well with snow...you need a different type of glove for that...

 

[Alejandro]

Grab a pair for me also

 

[Incroyable]

I suggest Boon of Antwerp for men's gloves. As well as la Crasia.

Dunhill makes a mean glove as well.

I saw Dries green gloves.
