I bought these gloves for a film shoot that specifically required extra-long purple gloves. The color (purple) was exactly as pictured, but much shorter than advertised. I believe they were described as "long" or "opera-length", but they most definitely are not. I needed these to be true "extra-long" gloves (like they look in the picture), so the one-star is for the overpriced, slow shipping that made it impossible for me to replace these with another pair in time.
