My 4 euro gloves... (with pics)

Post by Erri »

Here the leather workgloves i bought at the supermarket for 4 euro.

This pic was taken under an alogen light so they appear more yellow than they really are.


Not screen accurate but when i put them in the jacket pocket they look quite nice

The color is a faded yellow. They are very soft.

I think your gloves are alot more screen accurate than you may think, Erri. Can you post a pic with the thumb open so we can see the palm?

erriwan- I think since we all dont know exactly what was used, we all need to use what is close enough. I agree with Agent5, your gloves look great, the only thing i would say doenst look accurate is teh brown band around the wrist, but honestly i would buy those if i found them myself, its not that big a deal. I bought the padded wells in the yellow tan, and i removed the padded palm, so mines got little bitty holes. But once again, i dont care its a glove, its gonan get beat to ####, so whatever :D

Well I thought the original were Wells Lamont or how they are called. Anyway yes I never cared a lot about the gloves and i'm happy with these ones since they are going to get dirty :lol:

Well thank you again for the compliments guys... and yes Kt Templar suggested me to do something on the brown band too. I'll surely think about it :D

I have a pair just like that, got them dirt cheap too. Really soft leather, and tough as nails.

I have a pair of very similar Wells Lamonts... they've broken in excellent well! This may sound crazy but with the dirt cheap gloves I thought I would try it and it worked quit well for some interesting distressing: I set fire to them...
