@ Edward B, wonderful images! thank you!

That Pantographic ring is nearly unwearable. Sold mine because it constantly "opened" when I bent my finger. I know what you're thinking; Poell unwearable? Never.

those elastic tip gloves are also a bad buy imo. you have to tug hard on the elastic to take the gloves off which then will expose the white bands inside the material. the more you do this, the more the elastic will break.

but if you are going to put them standing up on a fireplace mantle, then yeah, good buy!

Simply buy your size, problem solved!

The elastic tip gloves work okay actually. I've had mine for two years now and while I do have to be careful when prying them off, the elastic is still intact. And I even got a size too small....took me 30 minutes to get them off my hands the first time I put them on....had to use 'shoe stretcher' spray...but at the end of the day it all worked out. You just have to be careful with them.

i would prefer the non-elastic tipped gloves. i've already made up my mind about those things. up to the guy to see if it was worth paying the premium for the hassle. i'm a habitual hand-washer, so gloves are not for me anyway..

^^^^^^^^

The iterations without the tips seem near impossible to find. I haven't seen them on the second hand market (or new) in quite some time.

I do think the elastic version is the most interesting looking "fingerless glove" I've seen.

[endersgame]

yeah, i regret selling mine to some guy on ebay a while back. i don't remember the code, but the leather was paper thin. they were so much better than the elastic ones...

[Peasant]

I agree. Beat the hell out of them. Retape if needed.
Ink just received an order of the fingerless ones (sold out already of course). Two colors.
Despite the bullshit shops will tell you about Carol "Never producing these again" I always see them sometime. I was told they were simply too expensive to produce (man-hours vs profit) but they were made again.

I bought the elastic cuff gloves and they are a bit tricky to get off until they stretch. Then it's no problem. The look is second-to-none. Love em.

[Peasant]

I wonder what the difference is between those and the finger cuffs. Seems like they would be even more fragile. I'm sure some of it is true. But cash is king.

The 2009 gloves are all PCC instead of PTC gloves in 2010 collection.

That Pantographic ring is nearly unwearable. Sold mine because it constantly "opened" when I bent my finger. I know what you're thinking; Poell unwearable? Never.

If I'm not mistaken, there were a few different sizes available, even considering the nature of the ring. I have no issues wearing mine.

[Peasant]

There were/are sizes. Mine fit right in the middle of completely closed and open. It may have been looser than others in terms of it's ability to expand. After a few minutes of normal use it needed the size manually reduced. Too labor intensive for me.
