This was my first pair of unlined gloves and value investing in the peccary. They truly are lighter in weight and with time the leather hugs your fingers, becoming fitter for your unique size. I received numerous compliments with these gloves out and about. I can say there's a noble energy wearing these; bringing an element of traditional regal bearing to modern times. They're versatile enough to be worn with formal, semi-formal and casual attire. The green is almost like an alligator's dark hue, subtle. The tone shifts depending on how the sunlight hits, and I notice the textured details when making a fist, picking up a bag or flipping book pages. Highly recommended addition to your collection.
