Where to buy good, warm, thin leather gloves

[condor]

I managed to lose one of my gloves whilst out with the dogs New Year - and have retraced dog walking steps to no avail.

Can anyone suggest where I can buy good quality, very thin leather ladies gloves ? I'm based in Bedford, but a trip to London is fine or mail order/internet

I bought in Aldi. In a sale, in the summer. I bought 2 pairs and gave one to my dad, for Christmas, then went and ripped one of mine, on the Christmas tree.

Seconded, I have a few pairs of these I use when cleaning out the chickens and chopping firewood:

RAF flying gloves aren't cheap, but thin, good quality and warm.

Depending on how fashionable you deem yourself to be, have a look at Venitex gloves, plenty of great leather and lamb skin gloves in various thicknesses, linings, colours etc. They are not Dents but for dog walking and outdoor type stuff they are great (http://www.ebay.co.uk/bhp/venitex-gloves)

Thanks - but I was looking for something better than workwear even if my plan is to use the gloves for dog walking.

Thanks for your feedback Does anyone know the quality difference between Hairsheep gloves on the dents website and 'nappa' on Amazon? as in which is the better warmer/thinner quality?
I'm guessing a cashmere or silk lining is also the best - with silk the warmer?

[DH01]

Not bought them for myself but the Mrs is dead chuffed with her silk lined leather ones. Not been cold enough here to properly field test them but reports back so far are that they are 'the best things ever' !

I went to a retail park yesterday and found some Dents gloves in TKMax - was useful to try them on and find out my hand size. I don't think I have large hands, but surprisingly I take a size 8 which is large. I've since read that the leather stretches so perhaps I should have gone for the 7.5

No matter, I bought a pair in their sale, from a Dents rrp of £73 to the seconds price of £30 to the clearance price of £15. Not what I would have chosen if paying a higher amount but at £15 for a pair of thin leather gloves was fine for my dog walking use. I'm still looking for a really good pair but these will do in the short term.

Hi, sorry to bump this post. But could do with some advice as I am looking for some too....how have the Dents ones held up a year on? Have you managed to find a really good pair-brand/product wise?

[condor]

I liked the Dents ones and they're still looking fine - although I haven't worn them that much. Mainly because they were a bit too feminine for everyday wear, brown with a spotted leopard fur wrist cuff. I also wanted thin leather gloves for playing golf as well as the dog walking use. I bought a new pair of black Italian leather gloves with a wool lining just before Christmas for £20 ( TKMAX again) which I think look more suitable for what I want. I bought these at size 7.5 which are a little tight, but will stretch to fit - not had enough use so far to give them a rating. I have sheepskin gloves and mittens as well as ski gloves, woollen gloves and fingerless ones, which get the occasional outing.
I still look for gloves when out shopping as I still haven't found my ideal pair yet.

Why were you wearing gloves to fiddle with the Xmas tree?

[RowntreesCabana]

Do you have a TKmaxx by you? I had a pair of Dents for just under £30 from my local, may be worth a look.

[Patch1875]

+1 for Dents good enough for 007.

I've got three pairs of Dents nubuck, lined gloves (various colours), all purchased around a dozen years ago.
All as good as new.
Similar to these in style, though the light tan gloves are not so orange as this photo suggests


I don't think the photos do them justice to be fair.
Worn regularly during a Danish winter where temperatures are often a few degrees below freezing for weeks at a time, though a full day out at -10 would be I think beyond their capability.

I've got a lovely pair of black leather gloves from M+S - very thin and supple, but still with a warm Thinsulate lining

"Pebble Grain Leather Billfold Wallet with RFID Blocking Protection", didn't know such a thing existed.
