The new Ferrari's have been catching fire, do they now become a trashy brand?

Out of the hundreds or thousands of gloves made your always going to get the odd issue with something no matter who the manufacturer was ? if you by a Porsche its not guaranteed never to break down.

They are, but some elements may be outsourced.

Think this is a bit of an over-reaction mate. It's a bust stitch? I am sure they will replace free of charge.

A bit of the palm separated from the seam along the side of one of the fingers, which was annoying.

Mind you, they were a year old by then so I just stapled it together.

Calm down lads my Puma Iridium trainers that are two years old now split along the seam whee the sole is joined together went when only 6 months old they still work and i kept them even though  Puma offered to replaced them, when you consider GM probably have 20,000 + pairs of gloves made and sold every year and maybe one out of every 1000 gloves developes a small fault its not too bad. Try getting an Asian Brand to replace a pair of gloves if you e mail or contact them you can wait month for a reply and even longer for replacement gloves if you get any at all as is the experience we have had lately after a lad bought a pair from a retailer that closed down so he had no choice but to go back to the manufacturer!! And the official reply was their guarantee/warranty that they issue only covers there country and they do not cover world wide exports.

Bought a pair of the new L.E.s myself and agree entirely that the quality has taken a nose dive which is a shame as they look absolutely sublime.
I compare these gloves with a pair of the first L.E.s I still have in the cupboard from c.2006 (yes- I hoard all my old kit for nostalgic value) and the difference in quality of materials and workmanship is so noticeable.
Come on GM, stop employing kids in India on tuppence a day and let's have the quality back!

I would think that your comment may not be based on any sort of knowledge of their manufacturing systems and actually be flawed as well as libellous....

you don't seriously expect that because you spend £70 on gloves that thet are made in any different way! the padding and protection level might be better but stitching and care would be the same regardless. how GM can justify charging £70 for a pair of gloves is beyond me
