When I went to London several years ago, I decided to bring my dad a nice pair of leather gloves. I was lucky to find Dents Deerskin Cashmere Lined Mens Gloves on sale in Harrods, the famous London store.
Dents is a very good, high quality brand. They have been around since 1777, so they've had plenty of time to perfect their art of glove-making. There were several kinds of gloves available, but I liked this pair from the start: stylish, well made, and very soft with the cashmere inside. The price tag, even with the gloves being on sale, was a bit high - around 20 pounds, which is roughly about 40 US dollars. However, I wanted to bring something special for dad, so I bought them.
Dad liked the gift and commented on how light, well-fitting, and comfortable the gloves were. He appreciated the quality, too. Today, several years later, the gloves still look like new. I looked them up on the Internet before writing this review and found out that they cost 52 pounds today - roughtly $104. I guess I had made a good investment!

Lucky Dad! These are very stylish and I am happy that they are still a favorite! I think having gloves that last are well worth the money you have to spend upfront. Sounds like a good investment!
WOW, over $100 for gloves! That's a bit pricey. Glad they are holding up and are of good quality:0)
Lovely review and what a nice daughter your are. Your dad must be very "special"! Thank you for sharing your story and nice description of these gloves, they sound like they were well worth the price!
Thanks Alice. Yes, my dad was a very special man. He passed away last year, so I now have the gloves as a keepsake and even wear them sometimes since they are stylish enough to be worn by a woman.
These sound like a great pair of gloves and if they are still going strong and looking like new, definitely worth the initial investment. I'm sure you Dad loved them!
An excellent investment! Dent's is well known for quality goods, and these gloves are no exception. One reason I love cashmere is because it is light, insulates well and never sits heavy on the skin, making it pefect for gloves.
I think deerskin gloves are just the softest, most wonderful gloves there are. Can't quite explain why, but the leather just makes great looking, smelling, and feeling gloves.
This sound like a wonderful pair of gloves. Thanks for the great information.
These sound nice!!
nice looking gloves
I got my husband a pair of deerskin gloves a few years ago & the more he wears them, the more soft they seem to get-it sounds like your dad is enjoying his pair!
Great review!
You got a really good deal on those gloves. I'm sure your dad will be able to use them for many years to come. Thank you for sharing the information. Good review!!
Wow this look very nice!
I would say so... I think it's funny that the price goes up and they are probably easier to make now. I am glad that they have lasted. Thanks for the review!
if they have been around since 1777 , sure no doubt about their quality.
When i fisrt read your review ,you say you bought the gloves from Harrods , I was thinking that must be very expensive cos last winter i went to Harrods to do window shopping but to my surprise the gloves you bought was only $40...that is indeed a good buy.
I'm sure your dad did love the glove. They look really nice in the picture. Thanks for the review
Those sound really nice. I've never heard of the brand before, but if they've been around that long, they must really know gloves!
It is a British brand, and yes, those Brits know how to make gloves. :)
Good job on this review.
