ASOS Herringbone Tweed Gloves – $17.24 | Scotch & Soda Wool Mix Gloves – $107.75
12 weekdays, 12 gifts, not a partridge or pear tree amongst them. And no golden rings either. The goal is to keep these affordable (which is honestly, tough to define) but still interesting enough that any guy with his own sense of style would really enjoy. At the very least these should be idea starters. Click here for the previous days.
A pair of leather gloves is a winter must for any guy who wants to stay warm away from the ski-hill. But gloves are like car keys, easy to misplace inside your house or apartment. So having a second and different pair that you can grab in a hurry is a nice luxury. Giving an alternative herringbone tweed pair is a nice gift for those who like to change it up.
You can spend as little or as much as you want on these. The best style to value ratio can be found in the wool mix herringbone gloves produced by Target (see below). They were first spotted last year, and although they’re not on target.com as of yet, I recently saw them in-store. Those particular gloves also come equipped with Thinsulate, so your hands are sure to stay warm even in the coldest temps.
ASOS is offering free shipping on all orders with no minimum for the holidays, but really try and look for those tweed gloves the next time you’re in a Target. I think you and whoever you give them to will be pretty impressed.

The herringbone gloves are target are quite nice. I tried them on before but opted for regular leather ones.
Bought a pair of the target herringbone last winter. Have stood up remarkably well, and still look sharp.
I must have those Target gloves. Where have people actually seen them? Anywhere in Florida?
I bought the asos gloves about a month ago, but returned them… they’re not very good, for two reasons:
1. The proportions are all off. The fingers are far too long relative to the knuckle size. It’s made for someone with really long fingers and tiny little girl knuckles. There’s a lot of excess fabric on the ends of the fingers, it doesn’t look good. I’ve never seen gloves cut like this, it’s really odd.
2. It’s poor quality. Thin, plasticy, doesn’t feel warm at all. The black and white in the herringbone contrasts too starkly with each other, there’s not the “bleed into grey” between the two that’s typically seen in average or better quality fabrics. Just looks cheap and bad.
@Adam: Thanks for the review. Damn. That stinks. I’ve seen and have a good friend who owns the Target version. They look and feel great, especially for $20. Those are the one’s to go with I suppose…
