It was nice to see this size 8 pair sell for an impressive $123.52. And the size 8.5 pair sold for $102.50. Interesting, as it appears they were both purchased by the same buyer - another glove collector or perhaps to re-sell on eBay?
As a point of reference, the Classic Leatherwear gloves were the first real pair of opera-length leather gloves that I owned. A leather seller on eBay sold several pairs of these and it seems like I paid in the $125-$150 range for these, and later, another identical pair in a smaller size. I remember that when the first pair arrived, I'd just arrived home from work to find that the mailman had left a delivery notice. As I'd seen the mail truck down the street, and I didn't want to wait until the following day to pick them up at the post office, I ran down the street and caught the mailman, who was able to give me the package from the truck. I also have especially fond memories of these gloves as on one memorable night at my old house, I actually got my wife to model these for me. So it's kind of surprising that I ended up selling them on eBay a few years ago, I think because they fit loosely and I was getting too many gloves in my collection.
