Brooks Brothers Cashmere Knit Gloves – $49.99 (reg $98.00)
Cashmere knit gloves just don’t seem right. Kind of like an axe that costs $200. But unlike the axe, this pair of Cashmere Knit Gloves from Brooks Brothers won’t set you back that much, and they’ll probably last longer than any old cheap pair of knit gloves.
Inexpensive but still thick knit gloves will cost… what… half? Maybe a third of the Brooks Brothers pair? But the cheap ones will tear, unravel, and generally look awful after a few winters. I can’t vouch for the quality of the knit on these, but knowing you spent $50 on them might make you treat them a little better.
The gray is a perfect contrast to your black or navy wool coat. Deerskin on the palm and around the edging at the wrist. At the very least they can bump up your casual winter look, and thanks to the cashmere your significant other won’t be able to keep her hands off yours.

Damn, I was actually sold on buying a pair of these, but they only have Lrg/XLrg sizes left. Unfortunately I don’t have bear claws for hands (far from it), so that will likely be too big.
I’m risking the size and getting them. These are beautiful gloves. And I see these things matching with all my upcoming fall gear.
I live in Minnesota, and I laugh at the thought of these keeping me warm in -45 degree winds this coming winter. I choose my gloves and mittens carefully, and the thought of getting my cashmere gloves slightly damp scares the heck out of me.
@Kyle: Yeah, I grew up in your neck of the woods. In 8th grade three days of school were canceled not due to snow but to cold. 60 below windchills, air temps of 30 below. For extreme conditions, you’ll need extreme gear (which these admittedly, are not)
@Joe… Ahh… Arne Carlson — great governor. I attended school in Minneapolis at a time when they cancelled school only once or twice in 50-some years. That said, these gloves are nice, and if it didn’t get so cold here, I would heed my mantra: “Better to look good, than to feel good.”
