Armani Exchange long black leather opera gloves

eBay glove seller "junkonsale" sold these very nice Armani Exchange long black leather opera gloves for $83.  These gloves were new with tags, a size 7 and measured an impressive 23 3/4 inches long.

I've never been a fan of the horizontal seam on the forearms of long leather gloves, as it looks like someone bought a shorter glove and decided to make it longer by adding more leather to it.  However, I do like the elastic gathering inside the wrist which helps keep the gloves snug against the hands.

Since these were new with tags, I wish the seller had stated or shown the price tag with the original retail.

A deal on long black lambskin leather opera gloves

For just $48, someone got a real deal on these long black leather opera gloves from seller "junkonsale."  These unbranded gloves were a size 8 and measured nearly 24" long.  

They featured elastic gathering at the wrist, which is always a nice touch.  However, they also featured an unfortunate horizontal seam across the wrist area, like they were a shorter pair of gloves that were elongated later.  

The seller stated that they were purchased in a vintage shop in Sacramento, CA.

An impressive sale on Ines black leather opera gloves

eBay glove seller "junkonsale" sold these Ines black leather opera gloves for their Buy It Now price of $293.99.  These gloves were a size medium, silk-lined, and measured an impressive 26" long.  The almost $300 selling price is especially impressive considering these were pre-owned.  The seller stated that these were more than $400 on the Ines website.

While these are very nice gloves, I'm not sure why the maker of such a high-end pair of gloves had to use a horizontal seam (see second photo) near the wrist.  It's like these were originally a wrist-length pair of gloves and the manufacturer decided to make them opera length after the fact.  For me, this horizontal seam on long gloves can often be a deal-breaker, especially on expensive gloves.
