Leather is stiff,  thumb and pinky are way too long, and eventhough the lining is supposed to be cashmere it's thin and itchy. I'm a lover of winter and require my outerwear to be more protective and functional than fashionable except when it comes to gloves - they need to 'fit like a glove'  so I don't have to yank them off every time I have to pick something up, use my phone, write etc. These gloves are NOT it.
