Review on Cashmere Standard Touchscreen Texting Gloves by Kelly Noonan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cashmere gloves at Cold Weather Gloves

I have short fat fingers. Gloves never fit me. These gloves are no exception, but they're great in every other way. First I took her to the tailor and he couldn't help. The outer shell consists of a flat front (think of a paper handprint) and a rounded back that wraps around your fingers and attaches to the front. This would make it difficult to shorten the fingers alone. And finally, the cashmere lining was seamless. So what have I done? I was researching how to shrink leather. I put a pot of water on the stove and brought it to 160 F, soaking the gloves in it for 2 minutes. The water changed color as the paint came out of the gloves. I wrung them out and stuffed them gently with paper towels, then put them in the dryer on a sweater hanger on high heat for 2 hours. They were stiff and discolored but they fit! Some mink oil and a hair dryer provided the stiffness. Now the only problem is that the fingertips are a bit thicker where the material has decreased in length, but that's better than paying for custom gloves!
