I ordered these about 2 or 3 days before Thanksgiving 2012 and they arrived 12/6/12! That said - they are really, really, really beautiful gloves. The lining is warm enough to stave off the cold New England weather and they look really good. My ring finger is size 9 so I ordered the large gloves. The coloring is more of a creamy beige in color than the white look on the picture. Also - they were very snug and I didn't think they would fit by looking at them. However, I stretched them out first and they went on easily,  plus I have extra room to wear my wedding ring set, withou it puncturing the leather.
