THIS PAIR OF LEATHER GLOVES IS WHAT I SECRETLY DREAMED OF FOR ALMOST TWO DECADES!
I AM OFTEN GETTING "ENCHANTED" (STUNLOCKED) BY THESE FANTASTIC LEATHER GLOVES, SEE THIS POST!!
[A LONG DESIRE CAME TRUE!]
This particular purchase makes me so incredibly happy whenever I see, touch or wear them I will add my personal joy-bringers to this answer.
They complete my style, they make me feel happy and they also got me the needed self-esteem and thus improved my life, made me appreciate old-fashioned items more both in terms of style and quality, made me a partial cross-dresser and find myself another look. I absolutely love my pair of fine, long vintage gloves that belonged to a noble, stylish, elderly gentlewoman before.
Not only did I ever want to own and wear something like this, they fit my hands as if tailored especially for me, they are incredibly comfortable to wear and the best thing is -
They are made of extremely (!!) soft leather:
My gloves are both made of 100% Kidskin Leather; Finest quality and pitch-black! It is a pleasure to wear - and to touch! 60 years of wear and a generally very high production quality made these gloves even better. The moment you have contact with my gloves, your fingertip(s) will literally sink into the heavenly tender leather!
Now I could hear someone saying: “What’s the big deal? There are plenty of such gloves available”! Well, no. Not at least here. And that was preventing me from fulfilling my ever-growing dream to see my own hands (and forearms) in such gloves myself. Until some particular eBay listing…
But why is there such a huge desire for me to own such gloves? It all started during my early teenage years in the new millenium. The old ladies wore such long, fine leather gloves themselves often and displayed them at the supermarket check-out while fishing for coins. Or at the restaurant, when they would unglove and their never-ending leather gloves would be laid on the table for display. And, last but not least, I got some of them displayed right into my face during busrides when the ladies were holding onto the rails whilst wearing their fine leather gloves - all while I had shrill 90s mittens that were horrible. Seeing the soft leather of their gloves perfectly outlining those lady’s hands and their fingers enable them for their daily tasks made so envious while I did not even have individual fingers inside my mittens and could do jack while I wore them!!
So close, yet so far away:
This is what I was (and still are) fascinated with and longed for in envy : Lovely leather gloves with a cut-out - timeless and stylish! While the ladies wore and enjoyed such gloves, I had my mittens that looked like a bus seat cover.. I dreamed of touching their leather-gloved hands "somehow", maybe even feeling the lady's bare skin through the holes by "accident" of course....
Fast Foward 18 years! eBay was giving me the most random “vintage” suggestions, showing me old umbrellas, carpets and such things. Until one particular day in mid-2021, these suggestions showed up:
The whole outfit of an elderly lady!
Obviously, I was caught by the gloves to the left, but they were satin. The fact it was a complete set with handbags, various (real!) fur hats, muffs, beautiful garbs and other several-decade-old items made me assume that this is the wardrobe of such a lady I was envious about for almost two decades. Maybe clearing the household or, as harsh as that sounds, deceased. But it makes sense that as time passes, that generation of ladys wearing such leather gloves as their everyday accessoire starts to fade from life…(I tried hard to find a tasteful explanation, could not come up with something better).
Anyways, despite it’s a pair of satin gloves, I still clicked onto the gloves. The big picture showed up and I liked what I saw: A floral embellishment with large cut-out areas, showing the skin of the wearer, exactly what I was looking for. But this time, the seller is from Munich, which is just 100km (60 miles) from my own home. No imports, no customs. But satin, nah.. I was sadly about to click away until I scrolled down to the item description and my heartbeat started to race. It said, in German:
“Material: Leder.” What?
Leather??
(Original description) Used: Item has been worn. Material: Leather. Size: M. Colour: Black. Length: Long/Opera.
I scrolled up again to the pictures and saw it when looking closely at the fingers - yes, they are made of leather! The reason for my confusion was the blur on the image that took away almost every detail of the leather texture, basically smoothen the image out so it looked like fabrics. The other images were terrible, too, so no real information about the condition to gather. But they were made of black leather and had a floral embellishment.. And I wanted them SO BAD!
Only 1 day left! The size just said “M”, but I tried my luck. Placed a bet, all went fine. Until the last 15 minutes. Six other bidders showed up and the price went up further and further. Euro for Euro it increased each time I pressed F5. The battle was won when I eventually entered an unhealthy amount, but luckily, they stopped to keep bidding soon. And I won. I purchased them!
Only two days later, the mail arrived. One thick letter from Munich! I was so nervous, because this is either now a hit or miss! After all those years! The envelope was actually a cardboard one and impossible to open from the sides as it was taped shut. Since the gloves seemed to fill out the whole thing, I had to carefully tear away the cardboard. As I had a small hole in the strong cardboard envelope, there was a piece of thin paper which I also had to open. I could not see anything yet, so I took a whiff from that hole. Cold cigarette smoke. The seller or the lady wearing these gloves before were smoking a lot, but that does nothing to me as it underlines the vintage character. I wanted to keep fumbling away that damn cardboard but my curiousity let me put a finger into the hole in the envelope. Obviously, I had immediately contact with one of the gloves..
and I could not believe what I just touched!!
(This is the actual “unboxing” image so to speak and the moment my dream comes true - I took it right after my initial touch and just opened the envelope a bit more for visual reasons)
As soon as I put my index finger into the still almost closed envelope, I had contact with one of my new gloves - and I was blown away! With my fingertip,
I touched the softest, most supple leather I could ever dream of!
As I opened up the envelope (as seen in the image), I could also see the envy-inducing beauty of the 60-year old goat leather. The combination of both the look and the touch of this tender leather made my heartbeat racing!
This was basically the moment where “the game was on”. I carefully opened up the envelope further, as if I am opening a tomb of a Pharaoh. Haha! Soon, both gloves laid there in their full glory, and I was ready to get them out of their shipping device. As I did that, grabbing each glove individually, I once again sunk into the extremely soft leather! And I could not believe what I held in my hands! As I enjoyed what I saw, I wanted to inspect the gloves for their condition. And then it happened: I physically yelled out a loud
“Woooow!!”: Until that point, the gloves were still folded, but in a way the middle portion would disappear. I saw the entry and the fingers and thought that’s it. No, it was not. Suddenly, both gloves unfolded, ending up double the size with a “flap” sound. The gloves measure 32cm (12.5inch)! I might have been fooled by the images on ebay, but they are so long, reaching almost up my elbow!!
While I hold them both in my hands, I noticed their fantastic and high-end handling. They are light-weight and “flappy”, yet still something you can trust to protect you. When holding them, I can describe it a bit like you have two moist yet warm tissues in your hand -
with the addicting touch of softest leather! Can it get any better?!
Don’t get fooled by the bad angle: These gloves are “endless”! I had to hold them like that else they would “flap” back behind my hand due to their suppleness.
I hold something in my hands I’d never thought I’d own myself. I kept checking the gloves up and down to find any problems with them, but all seams are intact, there are no damages apart from the typical wear and are in a perfect vintage condition.
Now the most important part:
Would they fit me? The gloves start very broad and bell-shaped but get smaller and closer to the end. That was where my previous attempts with other gloves failed - I would simply get stuck in the middle due to my slightly larger, male proportions. Gloves this long need to fit not only my fingers and hands, but also my lower arm. So I took a deep breath, opened the right glove up the maximum and put my right arm in the entry of the glove - I just need to pull the glove up my arm from there. Now it would be decided if these precious gloves fit me. Using my left arm to gently and slowly pull the glove up - and then something overwhelmingly exciting happened:
I glid into the glove. I literally am gliding into the glove, centimeter for centimetre, withe easy. And then the magic happened: As I reached the end of the glove, each of my fingertips touched the end of the glove simultaneously. Or in other words: It fits. It fits absolutely perfect.
In disbelief, I picked up my left glove, but also smoothly glid in there. Just a gentle pull and I see my arm filling out the glove, and I see my pale skin through the floral cut-out reaching deeper and deeper into the glove until my left hand is also perfectly fitting. If this would be something mechanical, a slight “click” would be heard, but as a human being, you could hear me saying “Das gibt’s doch nicht!” -
I can’t believe it.
Each of my ten fingers fit absolutely perfect as if tailored for my very hands. All while clad in the most tender leather you can image! (But I think the picture speaks volumes…). That feeling when my fingers were in the exact same location as the previous lady's fingers while looking at that soft leather - and breathing in the musky scent of these old leather gloves is near-orgasmic!
Making fists, pointing my fingers, picking up keys - I did that with ease; an ease I never had before while being gloved. After being done making all sorts of gestures with my fingers and hands, I just looked down my gloved arms and it was an exciting, magical moment that made my penis throb in joy:
My dream came true! I am finally wearing pitch-black, perfectly fitting lady’s vintage gloves made of extremely soft leather! And they reach from my fingertips to the middle of my lower arms! Seeing my fingers, hands, wrists and lower arms in these beautifully embellished, absolutely comfortable and incredibly beautiful gloves is something I get overwhelmed every time - and horny!
Owning and fitting in such finest leather gloves is one part of the story, the other problems now are a “me-issue” and a “society-issue”. Remember: I am a guy, and these are quirky grandma leather gloves. How on earth would I combine that in public? Would I even dare to wear them in public in the first place? In the safety of my own home, I would say yes, but if I don’t make it reality, I am almost completely back at Square One: Dreaming about it. Wearing them would make me a cross-dresser - and that, for some reason, hit me hard in the head!…..Aren’t cross-dresser those weird people; the ones people make fun of?! Oh no…
After gently applying leather milk to these old gloves and laying them out flat like the vintage treasure they are for the expensive care to refresh the 6-decade old goat leather of my gloves, I was pondering if I just manouvered myself into a dead end… I switched off the lights for that night, full of joy and mixed feelings if my self-esteem can handle to display them to strangers in public… On the next morning however…
It was a cold and wet morning in August, very unusual here in Germany. It was wet and the morning dew was everywhere. I was about to catch the 6:30 bus and was surprised by the low temperatures. So I decided to choose my hooded pullover. As I grabbed my backpack, I saw my gloves on my bed stand - and quickly pondered. I grabbed them -
and simply could not withstand the absolutely soft leather! I had to act quick: If I keep touching these gloves longer, I'd get a stiff penis! The leather milk I applied the night before did a wonderful job at cleaning and nurtering the 60-year old animal hide and made the gloves even softer! “Aww, f*ck it!!” I thought and in a mix of a surprisingly boosted self-esteem and the hurry to catch the bus, I just delightfully glid into my gloves, did a quick check in the mirror and was like:
Hey, that works!
My super casual look that morning - and my new gloves just go well with it!
I left the house and immediately enjoyed my gloves so much!! It would not take long until my leather lust came up...
STYLE AND LOOK
When I purchased those gloves I did that for their quirky style. I just could not imagine how they look like when I actually wear them and how they look like during my everydays life. But as soon as I enjoy them on my skin and my gloves cover my fingertips up to my forearms in black, soft leather, I realized how much fun they will be:
These leather gloves give every outfit an extravagant look! Black and soft goat leather encasing my hands and arms!
In fact, these gloves are so fantastic and beautiful they often turn to the main attraction if the rest of my outfit is not able to catch up. That’s not a problem though, as our hands are our main tools and thus always in the focus, but these fabulous gloves need an equally great outfit to be “tamed”. Seriously, whatever I do in these gloves, it looks envy-inducing:
I have never travelled so stylish. Un-gloving is not necessary as the perfect fit and the soft leather keeps my abilities to interact with objects almost as if I wear nothing at all! And yes, sometimes I wear sleeveless or simple T-shirts in combination with these gloves. Even that works surprisingly well, even as a male! When I see myself in these incredibly beautiful and comfortable gloves made of 100% Leather, I sometimes get nasty pre-cum in my boxers.. I just wear them and look at them and still it gets wet and sticky!
Normally though, I wear my gloves with coats or pullovers, so 80% of tem are hidden inside sleeves, so only the upper portion can be seen. That however creates a beautiful and timeless look that goes very well with my “goth” look. Even when I am holding onto my belongings while wearing my noble leather gloves looks fascinating:
Even the smallest things look noble when wearing such high-end leather gloves: I am holding my umbrella during a busride. Works with canes, too! As the bus moved, the light and shadow changed constantly, creating fanatastic looks on the smooth and wrinkled leather of my gloved hand! Occasionally, I would move my hands closer to my nose to sniff their warm leather scent...
And while the most of the time the full length of my glove is not visible, there are moments when that happens. Picking up something from a supermarket shelf or reaching for the handrail in the bus - as soon as my sleeves roll down, more and more black leather gets revealed:
My gloves are endless! I like how their extended length make it possible for me to be clad in black leather even in situation like these. That helps to keep a solid and seamless style as the gloves still reach into the sleeve and thus prevent a “disconnected” or “interrupted” look. You'll see nothing but black and tender leather!
Such an innocent move: Holding my umbrella. The warmth and comfort while I am wearing these gloves add so much to the joy - but if you'd grab into the portion right about my sleeve, you would touch the warm, ultra tender goat leather of my left vintage leather glove!!
Typical for vintage gloves: They are made out of a single piece of animal hide. This means the glovemakers used just the very necessary seams - at the side to keep the glove together, at the side of the fingers and the thumb. But that’s it. Unlike modern gloves, which tend to have several seams visible, my vintage beauties are very “fluid” and simply beautiful and especially very luxurious to look at:
Both gloves are made of one patch of leather - and thus look so luxurious, “seamless” and “fluid”! They wear as comfortable as they look! *sigh in joy*
The other reason why I adore my gloves is the floral cut-out embellishment. There are several flowers “growing up” the gloves and around them, there is the real eye-catcher: You can see the wearer’s skin through gaps in the glove!!
The flowers themselves are obviously made of leather as well, and the threads keeping them together create a beautiful look and display highest level of craftmanship. The embellishment is so rich and goes up my knuckles. The awesomeness of my gloves can be seen from two sides as seen in this mirror image: This is how I (bottom) and others (top) see my gloves.
What an intriguing look, god I love it so much!!
Absolutely timeless and beautiful!! Not only the fact I can see my own skin (or sniff some leather-sweat!) while being gloved, but that the glovemakers went for leather flowers. This perfect mix of quirky-seriousness is an eye-catcher! One little detail love especially: The cut-out reaches partially overy my knuckles - extra vintage-sexy!
Having portions of the wearer’s skin revealed is part of the design of these gloves, even though that comes with its own surprises (see a bit further down). But the ambivalence on many ways gets me every time!
The leather is warm..and tender...I am gloved all over my lower arm and deeply into my sleeves and you look at softest, pitch-black goat leather over the length of 32cm (12.5inch), covering my bare skin and creating a “distance” between me and my surrounding world - and at the same time, you see my pale skin, vulnerable to touch and environment… Ooh, I love it!
These fantastic leather gloves are so versatile: Serious grandma outfit or “gothic” - their style is just so timeless. And I never thought my own hands (and forearms) could look so good!!! I love this style so much and it's such a joy and wet-dreams material!!
After all those years: These are my arms clad in comfy gloves made of black, ultra tender leather!!
WEARING COMFORT
Once I slip into these gloves,
the magic happens - I just feel so incredibly good while wearing them and I get an instant boner! The interiour of both gloves is very comfortable suede that feels just great on my skin while also giving me enough grip. The gloves “lie” on my very skin and move when I do and it feels like a second skin (which is basically very true)! I never thought I'd want to wear gloves constantly, but these long vintage beauties show what a joy it can be to wear the same gloves for hours straight! Which I do by the way, because there is no reason for me to un-glove myself due to the very high level of motoric abilities these glove retain! That is also one of the main reasons to go for leather gloves -
the pure comfort:
Whatever I do, the super soft leather of my gloves follows my movement and either the leather is stretching or wrinkling up! I can’t put in words how great it feels to wear these comfortable gloves, so I hope the images explain it better than I can with words! The touch is speaking volumes as well - it is fascinating how supple leather can be...
I entered the branch of my bank, went to the ATM, took my card out easily (as the soft leather has a great grip to it), entered my PIN and even used the touchscreen monitor. (Yes, touchscreen works!! I assume the leather is just filigrane enough at the fingers.) Afterwards, I counted my bills and left without the need to unglove. It is nothing but fantastic!!
Doing my banking business fully gloved - with ease! My leathered fingers touch the ATM!
These bowls are looking nice, but are difficult to handle as you can’t really grab them well due to their form. I just demonstrate the perfect grip while wearing my gloves - it is a weird demonstration, but as you can see, they are literally glued to my hand. The soft and supple leather offers equally high grip so I can page through magazines as if I wore nothing on my hands!
The soft and tender leather of my gloves offer incredibly strong grip that I can even balance these heavy bowls withuot using any finger to keep them in place! If you'd touch the gloves on my lower arms, you'd be in heaven as your fingertips sink into the irrisistably soft goat leather of my super long vintage leather gloves. . .
In general, these gloves extremely comfortable. Whatever I do, however I do it, these gloves just follow me and adjust to my needs. The inside feels great on my skin, the temperature is fine and it just feels so incredible to wear these luxurious high-end gloves - and you can even see how comfortable it is
(also not the extreme softness of the leather which adds to the comfort a lot!)
I got a large wet spot in my pants after seeing my right arm: I kind of forgot I wore my ultra fine vintage gloves and as soon as I spotted the heavenly tender leather glove that I was wearing while also seeing my bare skin, my penis grew instantly!! On a sunday morning, it is a little bit cold and the dew is still on the bus schedule. Inside my perfectly fitting gloves the warmth and protection gives me real joy, yet I feel a bit of a gentle breeze breeze on my skin thanks due to the cut-outs. The gloves reach deep into my sleeve and thus don’t reveal more of my skin but display black, soft leather instead. I can freely move my fingers, wrists and arms and the glove keeps in place, protecting me. This is possible because the visibly smooth and supple leather just adjusts accordingly as seen in this image!
100% BLACK LEATHER - NOTHING ELSE!!
Such noble and luxury vintage gloves should be made of the finest materials. Back then, gloves like mine were a status symbol and the glovemakers needed good word-of-mouth in order to survive with their business. Unfortunately, my gloves have no label, so I can not tell you who created these amazing and lovely glove twins. However, the incredible quality of my gloves speaks for itself - and this roots from an amazing, unmatched leather quality!
The leather of the gloves is responsible for the envy-inducing look, it is the reason why the gloves are comfortable and just the beautiful luxury item that sweetens my everday’s life.
The leather of the young goat - the kid - is one of the softest leather you can dream of! And my gloves are made of the finest, most tender leather you can imagine!
I almost came freehanded when I took that picture! From the very tip of the fingers down to the entry: 32cm (12.5 inches) of black leather is encasing my fingers, hands, wrist and most of my lower arms while I wear these vintage beauties. The pitch-black goat leather of my glove is incredibly soft and I consider the quality of my leather gloves as god-tier!!
Why am I putting such an emphasis on this? Simple: Today, more and more cheap China garbage is flooding the market. You see gloves advertised just to see it’s plastic or some other shady trick. It is really difficult to know wether you buy the real deal or plastic junk, even when the sellers often claim and put fake labels into it. This can’t happen with my beautiful vintage gloves, as back then, such tricks were not necessary (and unheard of). These gloves are 100% Leather!
You can see the high-quality leather from afar already!
But not only the wearing comfort or the style stem from the animal hide being used. The previous owner and stylish noble gentlewoman wearing them before chose the best quality gloves - and thankfully, I could buy them to continue the joy of finest craftmanship and luxury leather gloves. I just gently put my pinky finger onto my glove and move it to the side for 1cm - and this is what happens:
I was not really prepared for my body to react so fast, but as my small small finger touched my right glove at the entry, I had contact with such an arousingly smooth, soft and supple leather that I moaned in joy!! Touching my gloves is a wet dream that came true!!
With a leather that soft and supple, it is crystal clear why it is such a noble feel to wear them. It is hard to describe, but when your arms are clad in leather like that and it feels like a second skin, you can imagine about the lovely and comfy feel for the wearer!
The black, soft leather of my gloves outline my fingers perfectly - this wears as comfortable as it looks:
My left arm in 100% Leather! Nothing but the most tender leather!
Apart from the feeling and the looks,
the touch of my gloves is just incredibe!
Every second I keep touching the 60-year old, black goat leather, my penis throbs in joy.Touching my gloves from the outside means having contact with the black leather - and right that moment your fingertips sink into the gloves you will know the celestial feel of extremely soft goat leather!!
Here is a common situation: I look down my gloved arms. I enjoy everything about my 60-year old vintage gloves made of finest leather. When I look down, I see something like that. You can see how the glove looks like and what happens when I touch it!
..and my penis is getting wet and stiff in anticpation! You can see the softness of the leather! ABOVE IS MY GLOVED ARM. BELOW IS THE SAME IMAGE, JUST AFTER I TOUCH THE BLACK TENDER LEATHER - it is the very same image, just 1 second later...
The intense feel of softness and warmth I felt while touching the black leather of my right glove can only be described as a celestial experience!
And by “fingertips sinking into my gloves” - it is not even an exaggeration -
I mean it!
My fingertip is literally sinking into this irrisistably tender leather! The extreme softness I felt on my fingertip as I touched my glove’s super soft leather was overwhelming!
I am sure the glovemaker was aware of the fine leather he used for his beautiful and precious gloves. But I am also very sure, he or she never thought that a man is wearing these gloves and probably get far, far more joy out of them compared to their actual target audience: Old, noble women. But as soon as I grab full-force into my glove, touching nothing but 100% Leather....
...what do you expect? I both enjoy these leather gloves for everything - but mostly for their godly soft leather!!
I know these gloves are absolutelly innocent, almost cute. But the moment my bare fingers are grabbing into my left glove and having contact with my left glove's incredibly soft and supple leather...
...I wonder if my gloves are heavenly or just plain sinful. I am not sure if I should get stiff penisses from these beautiful, comfortable leather gloves, but I do!
This picture got me two massive, nasty and sticky drops of pre-cum: I am touching the warm, godly tender leather of my right glove. When I did that, and I felt the extreme soft goat leather on my fingertip while my right, gloved hand enjoyed the protection and warmth, I realized again how awesome my "flower gloves" are!I Grabbing into the glove’s pitch-black leather is a great pleasure! Riding up and down the glove with one finger means touching 32cm of ultra soft and super tender leather! The kidskin leather of my gloves is breathakingly soft!!!
When I was looking for such gloves and thought I’d never wear something like that myself, I just dreamed of gloves made of such a leather. And this eBay purchase, the gloves of the old lady, is basically the best that could happen to me:
I came freehanded after a couple of seconds: I heard angels sing as soon as my fingertips grabbed into the godly soft leather of my glove! Touching the the insanely tender goat leather of both of my leather gloves is... Sorry, I have to change underwear, the extreme soft leather of my leather gloves I wear made it sticky!!
SWEAT, TEMPERATURE, PROTECTION AND AMBIENCE (a.k.a. WEATHER)
My beloved floral-embellished leather gloves here come with a great feature: They keep me warm and protected, yet I can feel the environment at the same time. Obviously with my arms and hands being clad in soft goat leather, there is a great feel of protection. The glove warms up to my body temperature and it feels just as good as your bed on a sunday morning after 1 minute of wearing.
However, due to the gloves being unlined, I can feel the temperature of whatever I touch - just "buffered" and with a bit of delay. For example: I grab a cold door handle. I can feel it's colder, but not as much as if I would touch it bare-handed. It also never gets as cold, as the glove still protects me. When I touch something warm, e.g. my own hands, I feel the warmth. Again, "just a bit". This ambivalance is fascinating and probably only properly understood when experienced by yourself.
As “fashion gloves”, I wear them even on warmer days, which is just fine. The cut-out areas offer a great possibility to vent and to balance out the temperature. Now you could say: “Who wears gloves when it’s too warm?”, and that question is valid, but first, you don’t unglove yourself in public with beauties like these (
) and secondly, quick temperature changes are a thing. Entering a warm building, a train or bus or just the sun shining onto the black leather, and it gets warm within 5 seconds.
Yes, I do sweat inside these gloves. Often. But only for a brief moment. What I usually do is, as strange as it sounds: I just reveal as much of the cut-out as possible. The ambient air, gusts of wind and simply the fact my bare skin is underneath and the temperature inside these gloves regulate themselves within very short time. It sounds like rocket science, but it is done descretely and I can keep my gloves on.
“Venting” my warm gloves by simply letting air in. The cut-outs are long and big enough to regulate it quickly. After that, I just let the sleeve roll back down.
Don’t get me wrong: I am not talking about massive summer temperatures! More the early days of fall and during St. Martin’s summer when the sun makes its last shows for a couple of hours. Also, with “sweat” I mean mostly gentle moist on my skin, but the suede sticks more onto my skin then and I realize that my body thinks its too warm. And wearing such long leather gloves even with just a little bit sweat on the skin is not the greatest thing because you can actually smell that. It is a mix of warm leather and sweat, which combines to a sweetish smell. And that is being emitted from the floral cut-out portions as well…
Beautiful to look at with the eyes but not always a pleasure for your nose: The smell of “leather sweat” is crawling out of the cut-outs on longer periods of warmth inside my gloves..
Admittedly, this sounds a bit awkward, but I am not going to lie and be very objective here. Wearing such long leather gloves can lead to that sweat and the cut-out realeases it. Simply put. It is a part of the wearing experience and I am not the only one, as the previous owner sweated a lot inside these gloves as well - Especially the finger and knuckle/palm portion feels like socks that have been worn several days and the suede there seem to be soaked with sweat and body oils of decades of wearing. So the old gentlewoman sweated inside these gorgeous gloves herself. You can literally feel the sweaty portions inside the gloves while wearing them ! So it is not just me leaving sweat inside the gloves, the old gentlewoman who wore them before did so too. It is the downside of the design of these beautiful and long leather gloves.
Enough of that, I just want to end this chapter with a realization that gets me still: The openings in my gloves obviously let everything in. Air is one thing, but the first time it started to rain got me bamboozled that I still have to smile about it. After leaving the house, I put on my left glove and was ready to put my right glove on. I looked up and noticed the clouds - just in that moment, I felt a rain drop on my left lower arm. And then another one shortly after. With my right, still ungloved hand I wanted to wipe them off - but actually grabbed into the heavenly tender leather of my left glove. I forgot I was gloved already and the droplets hit my bare skin through the cut-out portions. It was a serious “Huh?!” moment and I had to laugh about my own stupidity a bit.
As my still ungloved, right fingertips were trying to wipe off the cold raindrops, I kept touching the irrisistably soft leather of my left glove. As I laughed about my stupidity, more and more droplets gathered not only on my revealed skin, but in my pants..
The same happend with snow and a particulary strong wind too. As said before: These glove bring an interesting wearing comfort with them on so many levels, it’s an experience on so many levels to wear these gloves and I just enjoy it so much!
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST: THE SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE
Remember when I told you that I just took my gloves and wore them while on the day prior, I thought I’d never wear them in public. Well, that was a sunday. And that means I had to show my bus ticket to the driver. I was pondering if I take the gloves off, but the joy and comfort inside them (and the hassle of getting those long gloves back into place afterwards) had overridden my “fear”. Even though my first attempt was already a “stare incident” - but I loved it.
As I entered the bus, I held the ticket to the driver. He came closer to read “AUG 2021”, moved his head back - but stopped doing so. I could see from his eye movement he was scanning my leather-gloved hand. And since the cut-out reach over the knuckles, he could not only spot a male wearing those grandma leather gloves, but also that they are endlessly long and reach into my sleeve. I just walked away after about 3 seconds (normally you wait for the driver to nod or something alike) but I knew he would still stare at the black leather’d hands of mine.
In the bus was a fat woman and I still smiled underneath my COVID mask. She was also scanning my hand which I used to hold on to the handrail while my leather glove was only visible to up my knuckles:
But she kept focussing on my hand on the handrail next to her. When I left the bus, I pushed the “stop” button and waited. I need to push the button again to open the door, but the button is high up, so my sleeve rolled down and revealed my entire leather glove in its full glory:
My extremely soft leather gloves in full - 32cm of black goat leather! Super comfortable for me to wear, envy-enducing to look at and made of 100% ultra tender, super soft goat leather!!
That moment I had not only that lady, but also two other people staring at my leather-gloved arm, especially the old lady next to it was confused as she could not connect the facts that a young man is wearing those fine old-lady leather gloves. And guess what: Nothing happened. No caugh, no faces, no smiles or giggles - nothing. Germans are very direct, but so far, people see me wearing these gloves but don’t flinch. They look, but that’s it.
As I left the bus, the people kept watching me, he sleeve rolled down again and I was pretty much invisible in the crowd. What a pleasure!
The other two times was at our local hypermarket. I went grocery shopping gloved in these precious joybringers and at the checkout, I was obviously prominently displaying them. Both cashiers looked strange at my gloved hands but both cashiers also gave the change right into my leather-gloved palms. Normally, especially during COVID, they usually put the change on the counter, some have plastic boxes. But no, both cashiers handed me coins and Euro bills by putting them gently into my palms clad in extremely tender leather:
This is how I displayed my hands and in both cases, the cashiers carefully dropped the coins into the black leather palms of my gloves! The leather is penis-stiffening soft and tender and because I wear them also warm!
So yeah, this is the end of how I got my dream to come true. Of how wearing these gloves made me become a cross-dresser, of me not caring about others and of me owning the finest leather gloves I could ever dream of.
