Looking for a really nice quality pair of gloves. Something that's quality and luxury, the type of thing I only need to purchase once any they do a lifetime.

Was looking at Dents but they are fucking ultra expensive:

https://www.dentsgloves.com/cdn/shop/products/15-1564-Black.jpg?height=600&v=1679915501

Ideally I would like them to be peccary or another nice leather with a cashmere lining. Anyone know of other top-tier brands, really high quality but maybe closer to half the price of Dents?

If you want lifetime quality, you pay lifetime quality prices.

I got some military style leather ones will do biking too but are more for general wear.
See ebay or google.
I didn't get these but they are similar and affordable.

On ebay some are copies not as good as genuine but still quite decent and will be 'new'.

I am hoping £200 - £250 is enough for lifetime quality instead of the £500 - £665 for the Dents gloves Crying or Very sad

They look more than suitable for challenging someone to a duel.

A lifetime only lasts as long as until you lose one of the fuckers.
Then you have to chuck the other one out and get some more.

I'd recommend William and Son as they are also showing peccary and cashmere gloves and you have to ask them for the price, I guess the adage of "if you have to ask you can't afford it" applies Laughing

Personally I'd just spend £22 and go with MM Sporting's "Deerhunter" sheepy gloves.

I was just thinking how expensive could they be but… fuck me, £665 !

Only one left too, so what’s the point? Wink

You’d be as happy with M&S.

Is your goal to emulate this wankmeister..?

I note also that Dent themselves offer a wide range of Peccary (whatever that is) and cashmere from about half the price of thos originally linked and many slightly lesser offerings.

I would assume that for that sort of money you're better off going to see a glover and getting a bespoke pair made to measure, a bit like with shoes.

The key to such things lasting a lifetime is that they're handmade in a traditional way, so they can be repaired.

They might even make some lasts (the expensive bit of the process) which, knowing the OP, could be repurposed as sex toys.

£250 quid for something that lasts forever is fine, until you leave them on the bus.

These look the ticket.

Are you getting to an age where they're prerequisite?

Since my last post, this is actually what I am going to do. Just going to go to a glovemaker and have a custom pair made to my specific hand and finger sizes.

Wait a minute, what you mean "knowing OP" Surprised

What about these?
these look nice
You could smear Marmite all your body and genitals
without having to wash all the sticky residue off your hands
before engaging in whatever pervereted sex rituals you people get up to

Ignore the clowns trying to be funny at your expense.

You need these.

The longer cuff affords better protection from stuff.
