For Sale: Rapha Leather Town Gloves

Posted on
  • I've got a pair of Black Rapha Leather Town Gloves for sale in size Small.

    They've been worn once off the bike - never on, I waited for the weather to cool before wearing them. They are just a little too small for me to be comfortable though. They were a gift, I don't have any of the original packaging and I've cut off the label indicating the size inside the cuff which I do on everything without thinking so I can't return them.
    They are really nice, I thought about trying to stretch them but the chances of ruining them are pretty high. So it's probably best to move them a more suitable home. One of the fasteners has a slight mark, possibly from the bottom of the drawer, I only noticed thanks to the high-res images.

    RRP is £160, obviously I'd like close to that to go towards a new pair. Say £80 but I'll entertain reasonable offers.

    I'm no longer in London so + £5 for insured & signed for delivery.

  • Any offers before they go ebay?

  • Awesome gloves, so good that I've got two pairs.
    I don't know now but at the time I got them (2 years ago) the sizing was pretty weird, I usually go for s/m for gloves (even for Rapha mitts) but for these I had to go for XS (tight, but the leader stretched to perfection).

  • Unless you're desperate for the dorrar, i'd use them a little and see them mould to your hands. Leather will move and alter to the 'limbs' around it. It they're snug, they'll be mint in time.

    Up to you, but for something of this quality you'd be hard pushed to ruin them forever. Unless dorrar of course.

  • Pretty much this.
    @tis imo if they don't make your fingers numb and the fingers can go all the way in just wear them for a week everyday, they will stretch and look rough after time but that's what they are, if they were comfy from the beginning they will become loose and saggy pretty quickly.

  • Like Orko42 ans brisk said, they stretch and wear in nicely, thats the joy of leather gloves.

  • Cheers for the tips but they are definitely too small. I've had their mitts previously which I bought tight and they will stretched to a perfect fit but these are too small. I've tried my friends mediums which are still snug but should stretch nicely.
