Love these! I've got at least three pairs from Mexicali Blues. Got green; got blue and these brown. One Christmas I gave pairs to J- and Elenks, but they weren't big hits, so I inherited them all. These have been in my truck since September. Yes, really! You see, I have a touch of Raynaud's phenomenon. Well, to be perfectly honest, I've got it good! Had I listened, as a kid, to Mommy Dearest and not gotten some severe, repeated frostbite, or not had my 'love affair' with the chainsaw in my later years , I do believe I wouldn't be dealing with this now. But that's another story. All I can say is when I'm wearing these... I ain't got no Blues!Monday, November 7, 2011
Some Gloves

Smart!:)
ReplyDeleteYour gloves are pretty. But I find mittens are warmer. Kinda hard to chainsaw with mittens though.
ReplyDeleteSevere frostbite--ouch! I had not heard of RP but now I understand.
Stay warm and pink, Birdman.
Such "comfort clothes/accessories" are akin to "comfort food"... I relate to both.
ReplyDeletej'avais les memes il y a tres longtemps, maintenant pour avoir chaud, je mets des gans en soie avec par dessus des gans simple, la soie garde la chaleur du corps
ReplyDeleteLove the design! But like Dina, I'm a mitten girl, too :D
ReplyDeletei'd love a pair of my own...how peculiar that these gifts didn't fit E and J 'like a glove'.
ReplyDeleteYou are one of a kind, birdman. Love the gloves.
ReplyDeleteThose look cozy and most of all warm!
ReplyDeletehey, boomerang gifts are twice the fun! :)

They look quite manly but yet pretty!
ReplyDeleteNeat Gloves.... My hubby has some sensitivity in his hands and feet ---so he loves wearing gloves... AND he never walks without his shoes on....

Just catching up from traveling ... these guys look mighty warm. My hubby has cold hands all the time and always wearing gloves!
ReplyDeleteI never give gifts that I don't like, but it wouldn't occur to me that gift gloves might boomerang back to me. Reynaud's. I had to look it up. It doesn't look very comfortable. I guess I was more of a wimp in my youth.
ReplyDeleteI'm late again, and agreeing with everyone. Raynauds is in my family, I understand it can be painful when the circulation comes back.
ReplyDeleteLove the gloves. I am not a mitten person myself. I need use of my fingers!
ReplyDeleteMy Mama had Reynaud's which periodically made portions of her fingers look totally bloodless, waxy even. She also had peripheral neuropathy which made her feet and hands so very cold to the touch. To my knowledge she never wielded a chainsaw or suffered frostbite. Nor did she have diabetes. I myself attribute both of those chronic conditions to the decades of cigarette smoking the undertook. Restricting blood vessels and all that. One of the things we struggled with was finding suitable gloves for her to wear while in her recliner, completing crossword puzzles. She had another pair that she wore in the bed at night so that she could read her paperback mystery as she got sleepy.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm glad you now have three swell pairs of gloves that you like.
