Would you return these gloves?
I bought these gloves from ebay (ridersbridgewater) which turned up today.
To me they look grubby, used and generally not new as I had bought them. This is how I expected them to look: http://www.hideout-leather.co.uk/mot...hite-and-black This is how they actually look: http://img43.imageshack.us/i/photo2hq.jpg/ http://img693.imageshack.us/i/photogkp.jpg/  Should I bother? My mate says they will end up like that from new within a month anyway, but I'm not so sure that I am happy with that...plus I need gloves for tomorrow.

Re: Would you return these?
Look like white gloves to me. What do you expect?
Should have gone all black, instead of chavtastic

Re: Would you return these?
Dont they look grubby/tatty to you?
Edit: For instance, in the "as new pic", the whites of the glove fingers are as white as the knuckles. In mine, they are several shades darker. Am I being too pedantic? Last edited by hongman; 24-05-10 at 01:09 PM. |

Re: Would you return these?
You bought them "new"? Not sure, I guess you have a decent case if you chose to do that...

Re: Would you return these?
It doesn't really come up well enough, in your pics if thats the case.
What you get in a promo come buy these lovely gloves photo, is all the lighting possible to make them gleem at you. The plastic knuckles look very white, but then they will, white leather is never that white in the first place. Go find a shop that sells them and take note of the condition, then decide if yours really are that grubby new.

Re: Would you return these?
Hmm.
They came with just an elastic band thingy holding them onto a bit of card, and a creased up/torn booklet about the gloves with one of those thin plastic zip tie things through one of the wrist straps. Nothing on them that screams "I'm new!" All in all looks like they have been around a bit. Meh. |
