Even less practical. If you are such a fan of dresses, YOU wear them. Men should wear what they feel best in, and same for women.

I literally died in envy because the stuff you can buy today is soooo bad in quality and look just cheap. So I had the "brilliant" idea of checking eBay, and nothing was looking like I want to wear. Until one day I found a pair of old, black leather gloves that made my heartbeat go faster by the mere product images: Beautiful length (27cm/11 inches), far over the wrist, opening up very wide at the entry, timelessly beautiful. I ordered them for a mere 10EUR. What I received are probably the best pair of gloves in my life - Perfect fit, very noble visually, lined with one of the best silk-like fabrics and made of such a heavenly tender leather it makes you go "Wow" upon touch.. I just gently put both index fingers on each glove and it was a godly feel of black, soft leather on my fingertips!<br /><br />I wear them whenever I can. And it works, even at warmer days. These gloves are a hybrid of indoor/outdoor gloves, meaning that I can easily wear them in both settings - which is amazing. If there is something like an addiction for gloves, then I have it now. But once you have worn such fine gloves yourself, you might understand. I can fully see how the ladies back then were wearing them troughout the day, because it is really a fantastic thing! <br /><br />Everything about it: <br /><br />The style of my fingers, hands and wrist being clad in black, soft leather is something adding distance and being inviting at the same time. Whatever I do, the gloves follow me due to their supple leather, wrinkling and crinkling up deeply or stretch when needed. It looks fantastic e.g. at grocery shopping when picking up items while I wear these visibly vintage leather gloves.<br /><br />The haptics are almost like I wear nothing. They fit tightly at the fingers, so picking up coins or pages of a magazine is possible. I don't need to unglove my hands the whole day out. I literally glide into them when I leave the house, keep them on for 3, 4 hours straight and glide out of them later. And yes, I write "glide" because the lining is so smooth and fantastic I do not need to pull anything (except it became a bit too warm and the thin layer of sweat on my hands makes the lining stick the gloves tightly to my skin). The protection of my hands and wrist is a fantastic feeling: No cold metal or warm cups (I wore them at a Café). It's like a safe environment. Fantastic!<br /><br />The gloves I wear are several decades old and belonged to an elderly gentlewoman before. The quality, the soft leather and comfortable lining is something you can't buy anymore - no wonder why gloves are not worn like written in the article anymore. But this particular pair I wear is an absolute blast. I feel naked without them and thus I keep them on while e.g. being in a Café. It looks sophisticated and great when I grab the spoon with my left fingers clad in black leather while my entire right hand holds the cup; the soft leather of the glove wrinkling around the cup. I wish I could showcase what I mean, but looking "vintage noble" is really easy.<br /><br />If you want to try, buy vintage gloves. You will understand this article much more if you have "real" ones from that era. The quality difference to today's gloves is extreme! When I touch my vintage gloves, I literally sink into such a heavenly tender leather it's breathtaking! Riding along the whole 27cm is an experience - I feel the extreme softness of the leather on each fingertip. A gentle brush with my fingers or touching something and the black leather wrinkles up deeply.. That dynamic is great, haptically and visually! The lining is one of the most comfortable materials that make you keep them on. And the looks of such luxury gloves made of such a super soft leather is getting me stares! (Of envy)<br /><br />I really encourage you on wearing gloves during your daily tasks. It's a forgotten luxury.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-72544719856689371632020-05-04T22:49:04.314-04:002020-05-04T22:49:04.314-04:00Wasn't she killed or "died" in 1964?...Wasn't she killed or "died" in 1964? Well, I grew up in the 50's and 60's and I have lived both sides of the issue. Several of my friends and I were talking about it a few weeks ago and even we think that it all has gotten WAY TOO casual, or just plain sloppy! One thing that is so noticeable to my friends and I is how heavy Americans are getting and I think a lot of it is because we are wearing unaccountable clothing! Elastic in pants and shorts, and in skirts if any girls and women are wearing them...means that they be 3 or 4 sizes up and down and your body can expand with them. Think of the past and when we all dressed up for Holiday Dinners. Remember how you felt if you ate too much? That belt, or waistband or girdle was pretty UNFORGIVING! It hurt! No doing that the second day! Now, this May 2020 in America, or through out the whole World...I HOPE that we have the extra time to take stock of how we look and maybe decide it is time to start dressing better and maybe even eating and drinking less junk, to look and feel better and be healthier.Bobbinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-45338187886325408742020-03-15T17:43:34.837-04:002020-03-15T17:43:34.837-04:00 Piercings all over, tattoos all over, obese ugli...

Think of all the wasted latex that clogs the oceans because of world overpopulation and disease. It's really obscene. However, since gloves aren't in fashion for men or women anymore, since winters are now globally warmed, the PETA people won't have to worry about leather or fur being used. Of course, a pair of Joan Crawford style gloves would go well with a nice mink coat....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
