Decent gloves. Years of searching have ended.

It's summat thats concerned me a lot over the years after i did quite a bit of damage to my hands and right wrist when i was about 19 coming off my bike on a forest track.
I've tried all sorts of gloves from summer leather gloves to deep winter gloves, to MX gloves and Enduro gloves. I seriously cant say i have trusted a single pair though. None of them have seemed ample enough or had the right look. Yep, i like a pair of gloves to look the part aswell.
Anyway, after years of searching i think i've finally found my ideal in the glove's dept.
Colours are good, good protection to the palm area and ends of fingers. Even good for the palm readers out there.

I always buy the work gloves at Home Depot for about $10. They have a leather face with a fabric on the top side and last a really long tme, also have some padding in them as well.

Awesome gloves, I was wondering - do you ride with the little pinky finger extended to show your an "Excellent Special" rider?

I bet you get a lot of people waving back too!

I think the velcro closed bookpages would be handy to keep stuff in.

Of course, PG Tips all the way. No other worth mentioning :mrgreen:
Saying that, one of the best cuppa's i ever had was near the Grand Canyon. We called in this restaurant (we were having a mini road trip Left Vegas, went round the desert, Grand Canyon, California etc then back to Vegas). All 4 of us were thirsty (3 Brits, one American) and we noticed on the menu that they had Devonshire morning tea. 3 of us were sick of coffee to be honest so we decided to risk it and order the tea. They bought it out all proper in a tea pot with cups so on so forth and damn was it good to have a good cuppa for a change.
It was funny really because we ended up with loads of customers and staff standing around watching us brew up. They found interesting/funny because apparently it looked like some kind of ritual :mrgreen:
We had load's of top up's and they didn't charge us cause of the entertainment value :mrgreen:

A question for the PO (GBR):

How long did it take you to stitch those up?
